Obama: Healthcare Premiums Will Decline 3000% With ObamaCare

[PapaG]

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.

Glenn Beck is insane, but damn this is funny!

[MARIS61]

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

 

[jlprk]

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.

I laugh at some posters here on a daily basis.

My premiums are going to remain 0% thanks to my 'union daddy'

 

[jlprk]

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.

 

[Further]

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.

 

[jlprk]

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.

If that is the case, then I offer my sincerest apologies to you.

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.

shit head is too fuckin dumb to pick out a typo and go around it

30% vs 30 0/0

and repped!

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.

 

[blazerboy30]

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.

I predict in half a century, where we now use "Nixonian" to describe dishonest and thuggish behavior of a President, those in the future will use "Obamaian".

gawd...I pray it does not take fifty years..this nation can not continue in the dirrection it is heading..

Not really. We just struck a tentative agreement for our next contract. 0% in healthcare premiums and $5 in raises over the life of the contract. That must make your blood boil.

What would your raises have been without a $0 healthcare premium?

Not sure why a $5 raise over the life of your contract would make my blood boil, but whatever.

Probably the same.

You despise unions and the strength my union makes rubs you wrong.

Do you really see this repressive government surviving another 50 years?

 

[blazerboy30]

Probably the same.

I hope you aren't so naive to think that the money is just showing up out of the blue.

I don't care about the strength of your particular union. I do despise most unions because they provide inferior production at a higher price point. And, as I've said before, those who willingly join a union are admitting to themselves and their employers that they can't perform above average in the workplace.

We get production bonuses everyday if we meet our numbers and better. I usually bonus 2 hours of pay a day.

That's cool man. What's your point?

Another example of why I don't think you went to Stanford. You don't see how that correlates to your post implicating that people who join unions do so because they can't perform above average in the workplace.
