Math Is Hard: Bernie's Press Secretary Says 500 Million Americans Go Bankrupt Each Year
pjmedia.com ^ | 3/16/2020 | Tyler O'Neil

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.

Is she saying all those dead yet still voting Democrats are ALSO filing bankruptcy?

Talent like that should be recognized.

And 150 million are shot to death every year by GUNS! That’s Joe’s calculation. It is hard when you wear shoes and only have ten fingers.

What, that makes 1.529051987767584 times for me so far this year. No wonder I feel so tired all the time.

Provided with reliable information like this, my confidence in Bernie and his potential administration’s leadership, wisdom, and reliability has the reached its apex, almost .0000529051987767584 per millisecond squared.

I was thinking a “billion”, but then I found a bunch of zeros in my pocket. Let’s make it a trillion!

Another proof that affirmative action has interesting results. To top it off this person is both an attorney and a journalist the two professions at the bottom of every ladder.

You know Dan Quayle was ridiculed for spelling potato incorrectly. That didn’t have any policy implications, but it turned into a major campaign issue. Rats frequently demonstrate their inability to count, estimate the size of things and perform basic arithmetic. All of these
have real world implications. Rats should be abused over this. Destroy their credibility. Use Rules for Radicals against them. Rats must have low IQ’s because their ideas never work. Rats must be mentally ill because they keep trying the same failed ideas with the same results. Rats are not only stupid and crazy, they take delight in killing babies. Stupid, crazy, evil.

Joe Biden says 150 million are shot to death every year by GUNS.

HAS BIDEN BEEN RED-FLAGGED YET?

According to gun-grabbers, Biden is very dangerous. He owns a 10 gauge shotgun, and was caught on film demonstrating how to shoot it.

If 500 million bankruptcies a year in a nation of 350 (give or take) million means that most must own two companies or have two or three families.

Kind of like the idiot from GA and his ‘shark trail’ and the sharks that ONLY eat dark meat because of the MILLIONS of slaves thrown overboard for ‘sport’.

How about the time Pelosi said “every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs.”

Yes, that 500 million number gets used a lot doesn’t it? I think you’ve got something there, they cound on people not knowing.

She then corrected and said she meant "500k." OK. Well, 500,000 people out of a nation of roughly 350 million is 0.14% of the population. I feel bad for them, but why should we completely annihilate our entire health care system and put it in the hands of idiots like Bernie and Biden over 0.14% of the population?

And what is the population percentage cutoff before she'll stop demanding I give up my money and my freedom? 0.1%? 0.05%? One person? How about she minds her own business?
