Our 9% Approval Rated (and falling) Congress is throwing around numbers as
if numbers did not count. My Blog Posting (posted at least twice before) makes a strong case that Congress Can’t Count.
Too Many Members of Congress Can’t Handle Basic Arithmetic
This may seem elementary to those of you who have gone
through the 5th grade.
Lots of numbers are being thrown around our 9% Approval
Rated Congress these days. I watched in amazement recently on CSPAN as one of
our elected "leaders" said the following …
"My good friend from across the aisle has just voiced
strong opposition to my proposal to spend $10 Billion to convert all
states that are using Paper Ballots to Electronic Voting Machines and to
convert all states who are using Electronic Voting Machines to Paper Ballots. I
continue to be amazed at the short sightedness of the Opposition Party and
their ongoing inability to handle basic arithmetic with regard to a mere $10
Billion price tag."
"I am sure that the folks back home have no problem
with spending $10 Billion for such a worthy project. They understand that 10 is
not a big number. 11 is bigger than 10 and so is 12. If I were asking for 18,
that ought to give pause to the taxpayers as to how their money is being spent
but 10 is only 10. It is hardly more than 9."
"Beam me up Lord. I can no longer stand being around
these penny-pinchers who are not smarter than a 5th grader."
Ok, I admit I made up all of the above…Or did I?
Would I kid
u?
