775 Billion Dollar Public Works projects.

I read about this last week sometime and what stuck out in my mind the most, was how they wanted to keep that monetary figure under the passage of death amount of 1 Trillion Dollars.

And why is that important; because the American taxpayers that haven’t lost their homes yet, would be freaking out. After all, who will be footing the bill for this. He’s already telling us what we want to hear, he wants to cut taxes and create jobs. That’s nice, so where’s this 775 billion coming from ? The Military’s budget, I don’t think that’s going to happen they love their trillions and will fight to the death before they part with one “red” cent. For you accountants out there you will notice it’s not, one “black” cent.

But that’s not what I’m here to talk about, what I want to talk about is the president-elect Obama’s “Yogism’s”. Not Bushisms mind you, although they were kind of enjoyable.

And to be more specific, Yogi’s unique mathematical logic. Yogi said, “Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.” For those of you counting, that’s 140%.

The Obama camp when describing how many and what type’s of jobs will be created, said ; “More than 40% of the new jobs should go to women and 90% of them should be in the private sector.” The math here is 130%, OK not as bad as Yogi but you get my drift. Is this going to be the first of many “Obamaisms”?
