MSNBC "Eleventh Hour" with Brian Williams reports: "Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. Population, 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and have had lunch money left over."

Ever wonder how progressives think that Sanders can make their every dream come true by just taxing a few bill-yonehz?

This clip explains the math.

[yldstrk]

What utter dumbasses.

[TangledUpInBlue]

True, but they are right. Of course, that would devalue a million dollars but he could have done it and never felt it.

Talk about a Freedom Dividend :)

Only off by 6 zeroes. Maybe that’s how we got our budget the way it is.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Besides the innumeracy, It's also based on their belief that every American could easily have a million dollars if the rich weren't hoarding it all.

[TexasFreeper2009]

math is wrong.

ROFL

he could of held 500 rallies and given ONE lucky person at each rally 1 million though!

[z3n]

I agree with Brian and Mara.
I want my Bloomberg Million!!!

It’s like a win-win.
We all get some nice loot, and we get to make Bloomberg poor.
...in massive debt, I’d image. w00t

Must be Common Core math. 350,000,000 Americans, if given $1,000,000 each, would cost him $350,000,000,000,000. I used 3rd grade Catholic School math. Remember that stuff? Common Sense Math

How did these dimwits get through elementary school?

[Trump.Deplorable]

I see math wasn’t their strong suit here

Well maybe that is why they are TV Teleprompter readers and not physicians or engineers

[BradyLS]

I would’ve advised Bloomberg to suspend his campaign for 1% of what it eventually cost him to come to that conclusion.

When you’re the baddest man in the world, who needs math?

[IronJack]

The arithmetic (you can’t really call it math) requires way too many fingers for journalists to be able to solve it. Most of them had trouble passing Fingerpainting and Elementary Papier-Mache in kindergarten.

[TangledUpInBlue]

Groan....

How does Brian lying Williams still have a job in media?

[rightwingcrazy]

It actually hurt my brain to listen to that. Had to turn it off.

[yldstrk]

He could have given each person $1.50. See?

[mad_as_he$$]

Fake but accurate!

[mad_as_he$$]

Or is it accurate but fake?

[greenishness]

I think we would need 327 Trillion to make that happen.

THREE HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN TRILLION DOLLARS

Progressives cannot count (see Iowa) let alone comprehend the size of things.

Proud daddy moment the other evening ... I was talking to my daughter (she's a young adult) about climate change and I asked her about the size of sun. How many earths can you fit in the sun? She pegged the right answer. She also doesn't believe in man made global warming.

Progressive refuse to think the sun has anything to do with our temperature.

Pulling this together, progressives lack a fundamental understanding of mathematics and sciences. They choose majors in college that have "studies" in their name, or journalism. Journalism, what a F'ing joke. Four years of college to write at a 6 grade level and answer the questions of "Who", "What", "When", "Where" and "Why". And guess what, they rarely answer those questions. These people are mental midgets, and need to be treated as such.
