He's an engineer, not a politico. He thought if he could show people a rational solution to a problem, people would see the wisdom of it and agree. Nope. That's not how people act.

 

Yeah, she's in a tough spot. People lump her in with Bernie so she's not likely to get the backing of the Dem machine.

 

You bet! The man is worth 55 billion, so even if he put all that money into a CD at his credit union at 2% he'd still earn over a billion a year in interest, and I'd bet his money is earning a higher rate than that. He won't even miss that 500 mil.

LOL, I remember a Mike Royko column where he commented on talking with one of the big millionaires of the day and Royko asked him if he'd even notice if he had one less million than he did, and the man said, no, he probably wouldn't. Then Royko said, "well, I'd sure notice the extra million, so I could I have one you wouldn't notice was gone?" and the man said, "no". LOL, Royko was a gem.

 

A Bloomberg-money-math embarrassment for the NY Times and MSNBC:

"If someone had simply stopped and double-checked some math, they might have saved MSNBC’s Brian Williams and New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay some embarrassment Thursday night.

Instead, both Williams and Gay marveled on air in reaction to a Twitter user’s post about Mike Bloomberg’s campaign spending.

Trouble is, the post had gotten the math all wrong – yet neither Williams nor Gay seemed to notice.

The Super Tuesday evening post, now deleted, said: “Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. population is 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and still have money left over, I feel like a $1 million check would be life-changing for people. Yet he wasted it all on ads and STILL LOST.”

“It’s an incredible way of putting it,” Williams gushed.

“It’s an incredible way of putting it. It’s true,” Gay agreed.

In reality, however, had Bloomberg divvied his advertising dollars among all Americans, the per-capita cash-out would have been more like $1.53 per person – not even enough to take a ride on New York City’s subway."

Now Biden's brother is being looked in to for fraud. As is Biden's son. So, if Biden's son and brother committed fraud, that would make Biden... clean as a whistle?

A new report reveals legal problems and allegations of possible fraud involving former Vice President Joe Biden’s brother James, in the latest instance of the Democratic primary front-runner’s family members’ dealings drawing scrutiny amid his presidential bid.

According to Politico, James Biden’s business with medical companies – including Americore Health – has led to allegations that he potentially engaged in fraud and traded on his brother’s name, by claiming Joe was interested in the venture and the family name could provide opportunities.

“It was all smoke and mirrors,” former Americore Health executive Tom Pritchard told Politico. James Biden reportedly convinced Americore that he could use his political clout to deliver a significant influx of cash in the form of an investment from the Middle East, and even convinced the company to take on financial burdens including a six-figure loan to James that he has yet to repay.
