$425.oo, not $425,000.oo
85 bil divided by 200 mil is just over $400 - not $400,000
Your fast. How about running for congress. We could use you :)
They computed it using “English” Billions, which are three zeros more than “American” Billions...
Stabenow and the anonymous emailer aren’t the brightest tools in the shed.
Eh, $425,000.00 or $425.00, what’s the difference?
It’s WELL within the margin of error for a Congressional budget expert, isn’t it?
;^)
Whoever wrote this has a glaring error in their thinking, it is not American Gerneral Insurance company that is in trouble it is American International Group big difference.
Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. - Mark TwainIs this little gem of congressional idiocy on Youtube yet?
From what I’ve seen of Ms. Stabenow, I’d guess that there exist numerous species of ferns with higher IQ’s.
she may be a lib socialist feminazi, and a complete idiot to boot, but when i send her an e mail, unlike the republicans, i get an answer that is not a form letter ( but then maybe most of her constituents cannot spell )
What about do this in reverse?
Find 2 million homeowners with mortgages below 75% LTV and offer tax incentivesd/PMI waiver/something else? to encourage them to tap into their equity to invest $4000 into the “bailout”. Each would be a “shareholder” and would then benefit in any profit that is realized.
Yes, they could lose their $4000 but in the end, doing nothing will likely cause their property to be devalued more than that.
Am I thinking right? $4,000 x 2 million = $85 billion
Yep. Debbie Stabenow(sp?)(D) from Michigan was on CSPAN this morning presenting this.
Obviously a genetic Democrat (and did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night).
What’s more frustrating than receiving this spam all the time, is the fact that so far, no one who is passing it along can add or fact check it worth a flip.
wait a minute..what am I thinking? its not $85 billion is it? I thought it was $700 billion...I need to go refresh my memory.
I figure the $700 billion bailout is about $3,500 per taxpayer. I can’t believe the Dems put pork into the bill. Some of the pork would go to fund groups like ACORN. Simply amazing!
Well I don’t understand “English” math. I understand American math. The person who wrote this states that they are American.
“Our population is”
So if they used some trick in writing this then they knew full well how it would be read by Americans. And this Senator certainly took it that way. How does this English math work?
