So to Obama the budget IS actually balanced? Makes sense.
Must be New Math.
It’s called Evolving Math...come on, get with it guys.
If 0bama had a son, that’s how he would do math.
In fairness, they might be using the median average as opposed to the mean average.
The mean average (which is what most peeople assume when the see the word “average”) is simply $60 million divided by 572,000.
The median average would be the amount of the donation that has an equal number that are smaller and larger. In this case the 286,000th highest/lowest dontaion would be the mean average.
The median can sometimes give a more accurate picture because it is not as skewed by extreme amounts.
For example if there are 5 houses on a block worth:
200,000
225,000
250,000
300,000
1,500,000
The mean average would be $495,000
The median average would be $250,000
In this case the median would more accurately reflect the typical home price.
However, given that campaign donations for individuals are capped, I’d think the mean average would be a better reflection of the truth, as there aren’t any huge contributions to skew the average.
But why pay off debt when you can just flat out steal the money anyway?
no- They used Kenyan and Indonesian math, counting by sticks and chopsticks, resp.
Obama needs to get a new thingamajig for his calculator.
After the Feds take a cut, that math seems right.
