Funny stuff.

Somebody on MSNBC (didn't catch who) was commenting on how much
money Bloomberg spent trying to run for the Democrat nomination.

The MSNBC person claimed that instead Bloomberg could have given
the entire population of the USA a *million* dollars each.

Must be the "new math" being taught now-a-days.

As if a buck and a quarter each was not impressive enough.
I think he spent around $10 grand per delegate or something.



Much more than that. Depending on who you listen to or want
to believe, Bloomberg's cost per won delegate was anywhere
from $7 million to $18 million *each*.


Yeah that pesky decimal point got me too, by 3 orders of magnitude.
These numbers are simply beyond the comprehension of a simple country
boy like me.
It is refreshing that money doesn't buy political love tho. Hillary
out spent Trump and Bloomberg out spent the first 40+ presidents put
together. Neither won.
