    Nevermind that you can only decrease something by 100%. Maybe he meant that they will increase 3000%, and "misspoke" while reading his prompter?

    Yes, this is old video, but the guy is a serial liar, and the idiots applauding his 3000% comment make me a bit ashamed to have the same vote as they possess.

    Since they already have increased well over 3, 000% it's certainly conceivable to decrease that sum 3, 000%.

    Why did they fire Beck? He was no crazier than the other Fox loons. I kinda miss him.

    Any of you Fox loons know the real reason?

    Good point. A number can decrease in the present time, 3000% from what it was in the past.

    If you decrease a number say 20%, decrease the new number say 100%, decrease the new number some %, etc, eventually you could say the decreases, none of which exceed 100%, add up to 3000 percentage points. The number remains positive.

    Or if you allow negative numbers, you could decrease a number 3000% to become the number times negative 29. Then you could increase the new negative number by 100% to return to zero, or something more than 100% to get above zero. Now you have a positive number which decreased 3000% in the past.

    I actually enjoyed watching beck from time to time. One thing, I really believe he speaks his views. I don't agree with, well, anything he has ever said(hyperbole) but I liked listening to him. Much more so than rush, who I don't believe anything he says are what he thinks.

    Yeah, Beck showed the stupidity of the negative percentage in a very succinct manner. You plan is even more dumb that I expected, though.

    Obama is either a fool, or the people writing his speeches are fools. Either way, this is one of the dumbest moments in terms of math of any President, ever.

    I got a new one.

    If you decrease 1 by 3000% it becomes -29. Therefore, if you increase -29 by -3000% it becomes 1. So Obama was right.

    Exceptions are cool. Aren't you glad your union has an in with the Administration to be treated differently than others?

    BTW, you no longer have the right to complain about unequal treatment.

    It's a bit of both, but mostly his experience has shown that his base is stupid enough to believe pretty much anything he says.

    Don't worry. It's showing up in the form of your salary.

    Yeah, if you're a complete moron.

    Wouldn't that be fun game to play in the stock market as a money manager? Just add up all the positive daily percentage gains and lie to your clients about your returns.

    The despicable thing here isn't the moronic math. It is the idea that he blatantly lied about healthcare premiums. Even if you replace the 3000% with some significant, yet realistic percentage, it is still a complete lie.
