Good Old Math


Posted: Oct 16, 2013

Hey guys and gals.  I hate to over-simplify something so complicated but I am sure we have all learned, you have to have more coming in than going out.  If you borrow, you have more to pay, but you still have to have more coming in to cover that.  You have to reserve some in case of an emergency.  I think it is a matter of losing touch with reality and the basics that has landed us in hot water.

More revenue from more jobs would help. Obama Jobs Initiative was blocked - by GOP 2012

It also rewarded companies for insourcing. That would have been good for MTs.

Wonder what kind of difference it would have made in the taking in more than paying out scenario... more jobs, more revenue, and all the other good stuff that comes with more people working including a new and improved infrastructure.

GOP and obstructionism is bringing this country down. I hope their last trick of "going too far this time" (L. Graham) has opened their eyes to how destructive their party has become.

Great post. You've obviously been paying (sm) - Libby

attention to what they have actually DONE, rather than to rely on Rs/TPs talking points as the truth.

What I don't understand is how anyone could ever trust this party again!

Finally, a viewpoint the R bros totally share....one they don't have to run away from when answering hard questions from campain trail press corps.  Ryan concurs with Romney that a large segment of America's population are shiftless, lazy folks who are dependent on the government and have no motivation to improve their lives.  Unlike real citizens, they do not share our so-called American dream.  Ryan is a bit more generous in his estimation.  His figure is 30% as o ...

Bad At Math, Worse At Remembering Meds, NowApr 21, 2015
About 2 years ago had cataract surgery, recently returned to have Yag laser because occasionally a film will deposit on the capsule after the first surgery. I thought hooray, the drops are gone. Not so fast now. I have now been told (because of corneal dystrophy) to take 2 different drops every day from here on. I had trouble remembering 3x a day and now this is the issue: First of all, unlike capsules cannot put the drops into a Monday, Tuesday, day of the week container. I have one drop I ...

On election night, Republican strategist and Fox News contributor Karl Rove was unwilling to believe that President Obama had won Ohio, arguing with anchor Megyn Kelly that Ohio was too close to call. Eventually, Kelly asked Rove if his calculations were "just math you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better or is this real?" This televised moment on Election Day was one small victory for statistics. Another was thatFiveThirtyEight blogger Nate Silver accurately pred ...

Math Problem - Calculating Cost Of ApplesMar 20, 2016
Trying to figure out how much this will cost me for my budget. A couple weeks ago I bought 5 applies - they were 3.99/lb and came to $12. (eeks! - they were very good applies - Honeycrisp) I am near broke (no rather I AM broke with a very limited amount of money), but I need to buy another 5 applies.  This time I see a sale for Pink Lady apples (another very good apple).  These applies are on sale for 1.29 a pound.  If I buy 5 of them can someone tell me how much 5 will cost.&nb ...

Sen. Paul Uses 3rd Grade Math To Explain How Tax CutsJun 24, 2017
On Friday’s Morning Joe, MSNBC panelist Donny Deutsch pushed the typical liberal “tax cuts for the rich” narrative as he slammed the Republican health care reform bill: "The other side of the aisle will call this as a redistribution of wealth. Obviously, parties are given to hyperbole, but the reality according to the Center [for] Tax Policy is that 90 percent of the benefits in this plan go to families making $700,000 a year or more, the one percent. That is a fiscal reality." He demanded ...

Very Good ArticleNov 13, 2009
No matter how much you hate him this is a good article.  Cut him down all you want but it won't change the truth. Here's a quote from the article: Mr. Bush said that "the role of government is not to create wealth, but to create the conditions that allow entrepreneurs and innovators to thrive." I wish it was someone else who has said this because a lot of people sole purpose is hating and cutting him down, which diminishes from the importance of the article.   http://www ...
