Touche'. I wrongly was expressing that it cost 83 cents to deliver 17 cents to a welfare recipient which is worse than using 2 cents to make a penny.
That is why I went to law school. There was no math on the entrance exam.

I am sure you are good at math, it is just that you seem to have fallen into the same habit as others who use meaningless expressions like “5000 times smaller”, “300 percent less”, etc. For some reason this sort of thing drives me into a fit of despair. My high school math teachers would have recommended me to a good insane asylum if I had used such terms that are so common today.
