      It is 40 years after the Moon landing and our economists have not been telling the American people how much they have lost on the depreciation of automobiles since then. There have been 200,000,000+ automobiles in the United States since 1995. That is more cars than there were Americans in the 1930s. If each car lost $1,500 per year that would be $300,000,000,000. Since 1995 that would amount to FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS.

      Is that what the US fought the Vietnam War for?

      Economists that can't do ALGEBRA.

      When is Obama going to make accounting mandatory in our high schools?
