Why Can’t Liberals Do Math?

I suppose the answer is, if they could do math they wouldn’t be liberals. No one with a decent respect for numbers could fling around hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars with only the vaguest notion of where those vast sums are going (but secure in the knowledge that they are other people’s money).

Math is hard, and especially so if you are stupid. Liberals don’t deal with facts, they deal with feelings. Facts are boring. Feelings sell cigarettes, beer, soda, vacations, and candidates. Math is about facts, so it’s easiest to just ignore it.
But it’s not just math; it’s also economics. How is it possible to raise taxes, print money you don’t have, and thus lower inflation? To me the only way that could happen is if you totally tank the economy like the 1929 crash. How do you add the cost of a huge government bureaucracy to the cost of healthcare and thus save people money? How is it possible that this break in logic totally escapes Democrats?? It’s simple math.
The math is not as simple as the voters.
