Math Is Hard: Bernie's Press Secretary Says 500 Million Americans Go Bankrupt Each Year

Math is hard, guys. Remember when our betters in the press — namely MSNBC's Brian Williams and The New York Times's Mara Gay — seemingly endorsed the ridiculous idea that Mike Bloomberg's $500 million in campaign spending could give every American $1 million? Well, now it's a Bernie Sanders staffer's turn to make an embarrassing math mistake — also involving the number 500 million, for some reason...

"It's great that everyone is coming together around this crisis. But people are in crisis everyday. 500 mil Americans go bankrupt from medical debt every year. 68 mil are un or underinsured. We've been in a state of emergency. We need a president who acts like it," tweeted Briahna Joy Gray, press secretary for Bernie Sanders' 2020 campaign.

So is the second one being called out as "racis'" like the first one being called out? What about pedo joe and his claim of 150 million killed by firearms? Is this a result of the new improved 'common corpse' math?

Bernard probably miscalculated his IQ similarly.

He’s talking about what would happen if Bernie was elected.

I was going to accuse her of culturally appropriating Mara Gay, but guess what...?

I’ve been told that some primitive peoples have counting systems consisting of “one”, “two” and “many”.

The Democrats seem to have a system of “one”, “two” and “500 million”.

It’s all Al Gores fault for saying the center of the earth is millions of degrees hot.

The Left can say just about anything because they rely on their ignorant sheep to believe it.

Math is hard, guys

Naaaah.
Math is pretty easy actually, unless you are a Joe “150 million American died from gunshot wounds” Biden or a coronavirus alarmist.

“The Democrats seem to have a system of “one”, “two” and “500 million”.”

Remember back in the early days of the Obama Administration when Nancy Pelosi said that their Porkulus spending would “create or save” 500,000,000 jobs. She then repeated that line.

I think they do this on purpose. They’ll plant some outrageous number into people’s minds regardless of facts. They’re sickening people.

That’s because they spent all the money Mike Bloomberg gave them, on toilet paper.

I’m sorry, it was “500 million” jobs will be LOST if Porkulus isn’t passed.

This is not math. Don’t say math when you mean numbers.

Here is what the a$$shole really wanted to say: “We need a president who acts like it”

They are using a disease to promote their political agenda. I know that crises like this bring out the insanity in many people, but this is too much.

They only let you do it every 7 years, so even if EVERYONE did it, it would be like 45-50 million a year (and that’s not even cases, that would be total people, cause there might be like 5 in the house, yet it’s only one BK)
