16 billion dollars is 16,000 time a million,
Wow. Thanks for the math help. Those tricky numbers were really confusing me until you pointed it out.
they could have employed 16,000 Americans for life at 50,000 dollars a year for this amount of money.
16,000 * 50,000 = 800,000,000.
16,000,000,000/800,000,000 = 20
So 20 years = life?
You aren't so much math help afterall. Or maybe people like you don't live as long as everyone I know. Check your calculations before spewing drivel like this.
Bush is a fiscal terrorist 1000 times worse than Al Queda.
I didn't realize Al Qaida was into fiscal-policy-terrorism. Do you have ANY quantifiable data to back up this proposition that Bush is three orders of magnitude worse? Or is this merely pathetic hyperbole?
"During the African AIDS epidemic, the sub-Saharan African population has grown, at an annual rate of about 2×6% per year –
2x6% ?? so you mean 12% ?
from 378 million in 1980 to 652 million in 2000 (US Bureau of the Census International Data Base 2001).
6% growth per year from 378 million gives us 1.2 BILLION. You really need to learn some basic math skills.
378 million to 652 million in 20 years is just under 2.8% annual growth. Not entirely unreasonabale, nor uncommon for underdeveloped people-groups.
Thus Africa had gained since 1980 274 million people, the equivalent of the whole population of the US!"
Wow. You performed a second mathematical calculation correctly. So far you are batting about 40%, but only correct on the 3rd grade math. Consider starting 4th grade and learning a little bit more.
Yes. I'm having doubts that you do, though.
Between 1980 and 2000, AFrica gained 274 million people, the population of the United States.
pointless reiteration. My attention span is not so poor that I have forgotten what you said two sentences ago.
My god, why are we sending these people 16 billion dollars to help them breed faster? It's sheer insanity. They need to stop having sex, seriously.
Perspective here. Thats a one-time expenditure of $24.54 per person there, for current population. (I will forego writing out the calculation for that, in hopes that it will be good practice for your future math endeavors.)
Stop having sex? So you would propose preventing them from procreating, and creating progeny? Are you aware that in their world, survival farming is the only means of remaining alive? Without children, they have no help with herding their cattle, or gathering and processing food. They can't run down to the supermarket. Children are a vital part of their individual survival, and the only means of cultural survival. If they stop having sex, then they have no children, and eliminate their entire culture.
Are you suggesting that they are so worthless that they do not deserve to survive?
And this in spite of a 40% aids rate in many African countries.
Well then, there's your solution. Just let AIDS continue to run rampant, and your population concerns are solved from within.
=============================
I am not now, nor have I ever been a supporter of Bush. I am not a supporter of any current politician.
Is Bush "blowing my hard-earned money?" Yes. So does every other politician who ever set foot in Washington.
What's your point?????? If you have some specific point to this rant, then get on with it. If you are trying to convince me of something, then perhaps you should find out first if I need convincing, then actually examine your argument so that next time it won't be filled with such pathetic, ill-conceived, mindless tripe as this one.
