Do you expect a 140 percent return on your investments?

[TheGreatGatsby]

If you don't then maybe you don't have enough audacity of hope.

I didn't watch the state of discord speech b/c who wants to listen to that bag of hot air. But I happened to be walking by when that blow hard promised a $140 return for every dollar invested. I was just like wow. He is pulling more sh** out of his ass than usual even.

So, are you saying that we are all in a huge ponzi scheme?

Call it what you will, but Im not sure it fits the typical ponzi scheme definition
since the perpetrator can print money on demand.

140 on every dollar > 140%

It's worse.

A Ponzi scam will eventually collapse but when the fucking government runs it all they have to do is pass a law to force us to hand over more of our money to keep the scam afloat.

Why is it that all the rw know-it-all's never actually saw or read the FACTS? They all say they know everything but they also say they don't. And, the latter is always true.

SSDD.

Technically that would be a 7000 Percent return on investment.

You're right. I haven't done the math, but you're right that I'm way off. It was sad too b/c the deceiver and thief didn't even cite a study. He just pulled it fully out of his ass. I just shook my head, thinking two things.

1. He knows he's a bold faced liar. He absolutely knows it.
2. He either doesn't care about intellectuals or he is so stupid that he doesn't know how f'd up his rhetoric is.

A $140 return on a $1 investment is 13,900% return, math genius.

Until this thread, I thought DC should stay out of education. Now I realize if we don't throw a mountain of money at education, our nation will be ruined.

Wow. We had already harmoniously uncovered the error before you came trolling along. And it only made it look so much worse for your god. I guess you think that if you come with your insults that we're supposed to just be put in our place though.

This post made the thread even funnier.

140 on every dollar > 140%

Damned right it is, Cru.

140% = 1.4

1.40 x $1 = $1.40

140 x 1 = $140


The profit on that investment would be a mere 13,900% of investment

I post this, however, because many people do NOT fully understand how this math works.

ROI = return - cost
cost

140 - 1
1

= 139

139 x 100% =

13,900%​

Math is hard.

Nobody was debating the 13,900 figure. But thanks anyways bro.

You are correct, it would be 14000% minus the original 100% investment. My bad No one really cares... the point is Obama is, at best, as stupid as us.
