Actually he could have only bestowed the $500,000,000 on 500 people, not 330,000,000 people, at $1M/person.

This makes sense because Democrats can’t count. They certainly can’t count zeros.

Arithmetic - it DESTROYS the beauty of mathematics.

Danged decimal places anyway.

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."

These people also think that electricity just comes out of the wall socket, like magic.

And these people are our betters, because they are allowed to broadcast their idiocy across the globe.

By my arithmetic he has enough money to give every American just under two hundred bucks.

The arithmetic (you can’t really call it math) requires way too many fingers for journalists to be able to solve it.

Most male journalists can count to twenty-one.

I’m no fan of Michael Bloomberg, but I’m not entitled to a dime of his money.

Someone needs to check the math here. I always thought 500 people at $1 million each would be $500 million. Then again, the Left changes everything, why not math.

Are there even 500 million people in the US? Legally, I mean?

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

which must also apply to the staff writers, researchers, and anyone else who read the scripts without instantly saying, "Whoa there hoss!"

“ By my arithmetic he has enough money to give every American just under two hundred bucks”

Which is why the Bernie plan of taxing the rich ain’t gonna get you the money to fund all his sh*t.

Math:

The current National Debt is $23,000,000,000,000.

divided by 330,000,000 gives

almost $70,000.

That’s $70,000 for EACH AND EVERY American, including men, women, baby boys and baby girls. It also includes illegals.

If you are an average family: father, mother and two kids, that’s $280,000 you owe.

So, dads and moms, just write your checks now. Make them out to the US government.
