    Saved you a click: she thought $1.2 billion per year over 10 years totaled more than $1trillion.

    The word “embarrassing” is interesting here because Republicans are incapable of being embarrassed anymore.

      I’ll say it again: they have to deny and deflect, double down because they absolutely can not tolerate self+embarrassment/shame/humiliation, and that’s why they cling to the sunk-cost fallacy. If we had fully funded comprehensive health and required criminals (and allowed everyone else) to address these deep, early childhood wounds, free from shaming, a lot of these social problems would be circumvented before becoming problems.

      Language is too soft towards these corrupt assoles, it’s not an embarrassing lesson it’s a lesson fit for a retard at their age

    I suspect there wasn’t an error in math. My Occam’s Razer here says that they had a conclusion in mind (i.e. the Education department spent trillions of dollars on a do nothing program), wanted to say it on CSPAN so that they could have the sound byte.

    The correction isn’t going to be aired on Fox or OAN.

      A thousand times this, it’s not a mistake, it’s 100% intentional, they know exactly what they are doing.

    Oh shit, she failed to multiply by 10 accurately. I might have been able to forgive them if a 7 was involved, but 10?!?!
