Do you know how to do basic algebra?

Question

Please help me with this 'story' problem.

Bush is sending troops to Lebenon to the tune of 30,000 troops. Eachtroop costs $250 a day. Where they will have to be in the heat.

CA, NY, & LA have no power and impovershied people are dying of heat. The cost of feeding a person in the US is as little as $2 a day.

Which one will cost the USA more money?
Which one will have more live humans at the end?

Answer 1

Well, it seems you don't know how the "new math" works. You see, it has nothing to do with logic. You must understand politics, not math. Seems you have a passing grasp of world events, but need some deeper education about how the world works. Don't just read the news, think about the forces at work that make the news. Then call your congressman and senator and voice your opinion.

Answer 2

Here's another one. Three airplanes carrying 200 people each, fly into three buildings carrying people numbering in the thousands while we just sit back and watch. Hezbollah launches rockets into civilian areas of Israel while the rest of the world just sits back and watches. Iran builds a nuclear missile that can reach Israel and we just watch. President Bush sends troops to Iraq and Lebanon to prevent these things from happening at the cost of $250 per day. Which one will have more live humans at the end? CA, NY and LA have their own Governors and state budgets and state emergency funds to deal with these problems. This is a state issue. Why is the federal government all of a sudden responsible for every problem in given states? What exactly is the job of the Governor?

This is like the nonsense where people were blaming the President for the devastation caused by Katrina. Hello, where was the government of Lousiana?

Answer 3

This is not mathematics, this is political drivel.
