interesting
I thought this was an interesting factoid, not a surprise to me but
interesting:
"In his speech, the President asked Congress for $300 million for poor kids
in the inner city.
There are 15 million children in America living in poverty, how much is that
per child?
Correct! $20.
The President also demanded that Congress extend his tax cuts. The cost:
$4.3 trillion over ten years.
The big recipients are millionaires. And the number of millionaires happens,
not coincidentally, to equal
the number of poor kids, roughly 15 million of them. What is the cost of the
tax cut per millionaire?
That's right, Richie, $287,000 apiece "
