Idiot Math
Derek Hunter
Math is hard when you’re a kid. My kids – ages seven and eight – are learning math. Some days are good, others not so much. By the time you’re an adult, however, you should have it down. If you still have to take off your shoes to count higher than 10, someone failed you in life along the way. They failed you big time. Oh, and you’re likely a Democrat.
In the morass of all the news stories about just how broke the country is and how we’ll never, ever get out from under the crushing national debt, there are still things that make me laugh.
I love seeing stories where Democrats promise to “protect Medicare and Social Security” from those greedy Republicans. They never actually say how it is that those mean GOPers are planning to “rob” either of those programs because that would be a pretty neat trick, since they’re both beyond broke. That’d be like coming away with a bag full of money from robbing a vacant lot where a bank stood 30 years earlier. That would be a neat trick.
But some people, mostly Democrat voters, love going to town hall meetings to scream, “Keep government’s hands off my Medicare!” They really don’t understand how or when the program was created, nor do they have the foggiest idea how it is paid for or how it works.
