A Big Problem...We Receive Alarming And Shocking Information. We Become Alarmed And Shocked. We Vote Based On That Alarming And Shocking Information. What Could Be Wrong With That?

The Big Problem is that, after you have finished voting, you find out that, while the Alarming and Shocking Information is Alarming and Shocking, it is not true.

 

You can still fix your vote by simply rushing to the Voting Place and changing your vote...Or can you?

 

A Official Fella Interruption (OFI): Fella does contend that this is a Misinformed Democrat Voter Problem or that it is a Misinformed Republican Voter Problem but each side will certainly label this as a Big Problem for the Other Side because we spend a lot of time saying that Other Side is The Problem.

 

Case in Point...Foreign Aid

Cogent Point #1...

Ø When asked what percentage of the budget the government should spend on Foreign Aid, some Americans say about 10%.

Ø That may seem like a fair proposal.

Ø However, as it stands now, the government only spends about 1% of the budget on Foreign Aid.

Ø If our government was required to do what Some Americans tell it to do, in order to “reduce” Foreign Aid to 10%, it would have to be increased by 9%.

 

Cogent Point #2...

Ø Some Americans vastly inflate how much our Government spends on Foreign Aid.

Ø They believe Foreign Aid comprises as much as 30% of the total budget.

Ø To fix this over spending problem, they recommend “cutting” it down to 13%.

Ø If our government was required to do what these Americans tell it to do, in order to “reduce” Foreign Aid to 13%, it would have to be increased by 12%.
