NBC says that USA Today says that the U.S. economy is due to shrink 202% in '09. I mean, I know things are bad, but I didn't know that the U.S. economy is not only going to produce exactly nothing in 2009, but we are also going to destroy roughly half of our national assets for no apparent reason.
It should be said that this gaffe was entirely on NBC. USA Today actually had it right.
