Brian Williams pointed out the math was bad... the NYT person however, didn’t.. she just went off on too much money in politics..

[Grampa Dave]

Relax. Just another example of Mediots using the “new math” they were taught in liberal colleges.

[11th_VA]

That’s why they aren’t worried about deficits - they use different math ...

Math is NOT a required subject in JURNALIZM SKOOLZE...........

National Review editor Charles C. W. Cooke wrote that the math is obviously “spectacularly off” but it’s also very telling.

"Why did Mara Gay agree with it? Why didn’t Brian Williams notice?"
"Because these people actually think it's true. This is how they see the world.”

“This is why so many left-leaning Americans think that ‘the billionaires’ can pay for everything. “
"It’s why Democrats promise not to raise ‘middle class taxes’ while spouting programs requiring upping middle class taxes."

That maf be hard bishes.

No shocker that Democrats, socialists, and liberals are mathematically challenged.

After 49 years, the only time a Democrat president was seated during a good economy, only happened when a republican Congress wrote the budget He signed or was inherited and killed by the end of their presidency.

If I had 100 dollars, I could give 100 people the money and they'd each get 100 dollars.

And if every American got $1,000,000 the price of goods would escalate enormously, the market would crash and the people that got the 1 million would be in the same boat as if it were $100.

Isn’t this effectively how Banks lend money?

They do not at all have the sort of funds that they lend out to
Borrowers. They simply have a ‘reserve’ of some fraction of their loans.

[Arones]

Exactly.

If everybody has $1M, nobody has $1M.

They do not at all have the sort of funds that they lend out to Borrowers. They simply have a ‘reserve’ of some fraction of their loans.

No. The 'reserve' is a portion of customer deposits physically held in cash.

Simply possessing a weapon without permission from the almighty government is a criminal act in the People’s Republic of NYC...

The only way that charge should ever be filed is if the weapon is USED in a criminal act- period.

OOPS! Replied on wrong thread!
