They can't do the math in New York

“The difference between us and him is $200 million,” said Sheldon Silver, the Assembly speaker, “$200 million over what will be a $135- or $136-billion budget, which I suggest to you is less than a tenth of 1 percent.”

And we tell sixth graders that if they don't learn how to calculate percentages, they end up homeless, derelict, unemployable, or speaker of the New York Assembly.
