Interesting figures……….
The odds of winning the Florida lottery are 1 in 22,957,480
The odds of winning the Powerball is 1 in 175,223,510.
The odds of winning Mega Millions is 1 in 258,890,850.
The odds of a disk drive failing in any given month are roughly one in 36.
The odds of two different drives failing in the same month are roughly one in 36 squared, or 1 in about 1,300.
The odds of three drives failing in the same month is 36 cubed or 1 in 46,656.
The odds of seven different drives failing in the same month (like what happened at the IRS when they received a letter asking about emails targeting conservative and pro-Israeli groups) is 37 to the 7th power = 1 in 78,664,164,096. (that’s over 78 Billion)
In other words, the odds are greater that you will win the Florida Lottery 342 times than having those seven IRS hard drives crashing in the same month.
Some may find the above to be humorous, or snicker at it being something of a made up joke. IT’S NEITHER! But we can all question the accuracy of the above figures, right?
Let’s look at this another way; based upon industry statistics compared to the reported incidents within the IRS. Scientifically, based upon the officially reported number of hard drive crashes within the IRS…..odds are about 1 in 6 Billion. That’s 1/6,000,000,000. More details (and reported facts) are included in the link below.

Do you still think there is any humor in this?
Do we the people deserve to know the truth about this (another so called phony) scandal within our government?
Do you believe that our current Attorney General or the current U.S. Congress will demand and continue to fight for the truth?
Do you now accept sound reasoning that 2014 is time for some real change?
The point is, even if the IRS beat all those odds and all 7 drives crashed, the majority of their data was restorable off of back up drives, where I worked it was called the T drive and your computer data was backed up every night, just in case your computer did malfunction, your data could be reloaded on a new computer and your office could continue to function, and that included your emails.
These are out right lies. Yes this administration is just giving the finger to te American people.
