Remember when the kids would bring home their math homework ? They would present you with a problem and you would begin to show them how to calculate the answer. Then you got interupted with, that's not the way the teacher showed us. Well, it's how I was taught ! Must be the new math. Seems every generation has that. Now it seems to me it has spread once again. This time beyond the schoolhouse, all the way to Washington ! I'm calling it Government Math. In government math you don't " borrow " you redistribute. If there is an insufficient amount in one place, just move it there from another place. The numbers don't even have to apply to the same problem. In government math what is mine is mine, but what is yours is redistributed to everyone else.
Government math mostly deals with very large numbers. Obviously these numbers act differently than the numbers we all use everyday. In government math should a deficit occur you can borrow more numbers, redistribute those numbers and eventually solve the problem. You just need to spend more to reduce the amount of spending. Or you may have to sequester some of those numbers. But you can only sequester the smaller numbers so as not to interfere with the larger numbers. You see all numbers in government math are not necessarily connected to one another.
With government math there are no constants. If you do not earn any money, or very little the government will give it to you. If you are the middle of the roaders,income wise, you give at least 30% to the government, if you start earning large amounts you pay less. All of this is variable of course when we consult the textbook for numbers. This is sometimes referred to as The Annotated Tax Code of the United States. The author is the IRS. A careful study of this text can alter the whole concept of numbers immensely. Keep in mind however the whole thing is subject to review and ruling.
In government math you may start with say, one million in your budget. After a brief time you could have spent two million. You may think you are in a deficit. Not true, redistribute three million from another budget and there you go. Problem solved, you're in the black. Raises for everyone. In government math we only solve the current problem, not a future problem. That is why there are no constants in government math. If there were it would have to be, constant ! Then the numbers wouldn't add up and where would that put us ? Why we would have to redistribute all over again.
Well, just like I told my kids, the old math was a lot easier. At least it made sense. When you borrowed from one number you had to pay it back. Any number could be divided. When you put those numbers back together the total never added up to more than the number you started with. Happens a lot in government math though. Government math is an arbitrary science. Whatever is needed at the time to solve the equation is okay. That math only applies to the government ! Do not become confused and think that you may use it. You must consult the textbook of math and the government may change that at any time as well. Isn't Government math a wonderful thing. What will they think of next ?
