According to Ohio Congresswoman Betty Sutton, a bill passed by the House on Thursday March 12, 2009 "will create over 480 million jobs."
Sutton made the claim during floor debate on H. Res 235, the rule to provide for consideration of H.R. 1262, the Water Quality Investment Act of 2009.
from pp H3342-3343 of the Congressional Record, March 12, 2009:

DEBATE - The House proceeded with one hour of debate on H. Res. 235.
H.RES.235 PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 1262, WATER QUALITY INVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 -- (House of Representatives - March 12, 2009)
MS. SUTTON:
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the rule and the underlying legislation, H.R. 1262, the Water Quality Investment Act of 2009. This bill provides a total investment of $18.7 billion over 5 years for much-needed water and environmental infrastructure. Not only will this bill help provide communities with improved water quality, but it must be remembered that it will create over 480 million jobs....
Just to note...the estimated population of the United States today is 305,808,287.
They really need to check the water supply on the Hill.
480 Million jobs for 480 illegal aliens.
she’s right because the 200+ million people of working age will have to get 2 jobs just to live under obama’s tax and spend nightmare.
So, I’m gonna have to work three jobs now?
there aren’t that many peoples (sic) in the u.s.
Wow that means every man woman and child in the US can have a job, plus all the illegal aliens here, and those to come. But since kids can’t work legally, aw hell who am I trying to kid, if illegals can get jobs, then why can’t kids?
Once again, we’re left to figure out which party she’s a member of.
480 million jobs?....And these Bozo’s are running our country?
To get 480 illegals, we’d have to empty all of Mexico and most of S. America, too.
We’re all going to need to take second jobs to fill these positions.
*L that’s what I thought when I heard her speech yesterday
She’s a ‘rat, sitting in Sherrod Brown’s old seat. But hey, if the Vice President can’t count, why should Congress.
Well thats good! That will help those 600 million folks a month, who according to Nancy Pelousy, are losing their jobs.
WOW ! That’s a big bill.
Is she the congress woman from China or India ???
Nope. You’ll need four.
No wonder our country is in a mess. Our “leaders” can’t add and subtract. They missed school on “Math Day”. I bet it makes keeping the books easier - you just go by “feelings” and not figures.—JM
Said right after happy hour!
