Anybody can write an article on budget figures. What they shouldn't do is write an OPINION piece on it, which isn't the job of a journalist in the first place.Journalists these days are hindered by having any knowledge of math.
How can they be expected to accept politicians budget figures if they can even add?
If your job requires it math is very important. A journalist with little math knowledge shouldn't be writing articles on budget figures in the first place.
Of course most people don't realize that because our media has become the spokesperson for the state, and thus ONLY writes opinion pieces or pieces that are disguised as straight reporting when really they are just fluff pieces meant to forward an agenda.....
