    Perhaps you'd like to let us know why you do not understand that average inflation values are not additive but multiplicative?

    Oh good grief! No, Tom, you're math is wrong.

    Pick any row. Do the cumulative multiplication for the twelve months,
    that you seem to be claiming is appropriate.

    Then tell us how it generates the number in the last column - the one
    labeled "Ave" for "Average."

    Or even simpler, note all the rows have values that are higher than the
    "Ave" listing.

    You're looking like an ignorant fool yet again; this time, with simple
    math.


    Frank again shows why he was fired as a plant engineer. He doesn't understand basic mathematics.

    That chart shows the AVERAGE inflation value for the previous YEAR. Since the BUDGET was set by the PREVIOUS Congress, the inflations goes for Obama from 2010 to 2017.

    Moreover the average inflation rate from 2010 is increased OVER the inflation rate of the following year.
    If you wanted to talk about the cumulative inflation during Obama's
    terms, you should have used the word "cumulative."

    And even if you did, your claim of 25% [cumulative] inflation was off by nearly a factor of two. Do the numbers, Tom. They work out to about 14%.

    Here's an interesting coincidence: If you run the numbers for cumulative inflation under G.W.Bush, immediately before Obama, you _do_ find a cumulative value nearly twice as large as Obama's! (I get 24.4%.)

    Oddly, Tom doesn't complain about the W.Bush years.




    Krygowski, on a good day you're a fool. On a bad day you're a jackass. What did Obamacare do to our economy? 10 million illegal aliens have been getting free medical care and you're not bright enough to add that up. Did Bush invent Obamacare regardless
    he had no business in that office? One of these days you will think before you automatically attack and no one will recognize that the posting is from you.

    Because of people like you Liebermann is forced to live a third class life. Part of that is his fault but the majority of it is yours.

    Trump says there is not enough money to treat 10 million
    Americans and don't even get him started on immigrants he imports and "legalizes" to work at his resorts at half the wages.

    And yet he receives exactly the same amount of taxes Obama

    Your math was totally wrong. Admit it and shut up.



    If you recall, he also claims the economy was in great shape before
    obama took office. Apparently the fact that the recession occurred in
    2008 is all left-wing media lies.

    It doesn't surprise me at all that a man that was fired as a plant
    engineer believes a constant velocity transmission with cam operated
    sliding ration adjusters would be "very complicated."

    I was never fired from any job. I was actively recruited for each of my

    Maybe you did - although I doubt it, based only on your decades-long
    history of lies here. I'm VERY skeptical about you designing any
    mechanical part of a heart/lung machine.

    Why not give us details on those supposed designs of yours? Let us be
    astonished at your brilliance!




    Not just a liar but a communist that hates the Constitution because it gives peopel the freedom to defend themselves.

    It does no such thing.
    Our Constitution doesn't 'give' rights, merely enumerates
    and describes our natural rights. If we have a right to
    life, that directly implies a right to preserve and defend
    life.

    Expenditures have been massive, contrary to established law
    (and common sense):

    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immigration/3120970/nyc-spending-biden-border-crisis-5-billion/

    https://www.newsweek.com/migrants-monthly-payment-nyc-higher-veterans-compensation-1886431

    And the disinformation has been equally offensive. Rather
    than directly paid through Federal programs the funding is
    more circuitous:

    https://thenationaldesk.com/news/fact-check-team/exploring-financial-impact-illegal-immigration-across-us-new-york-california-texas-florida-illinois-migrants-southern-border-national-security-costs-spending-reform-social-services

    "The Federal Government is only picking up a portion of the
    bill and spent around $66 billion..."

    Which funds are significantly diverted to the apparatchiks
    and their mistresses in the larger cities' leadership and
    bureaucracy. Which is why have made few protests about
    violation of the borders. Or as they say in Chicago about
    corruption, "Count me in or cut it out."

    p.s. Much is made of illegal labor in certain industries.
    Let's consult a noted expert of that in his own words:
