Anyone can go back to Matt 25:14-30, KJV or Catholic editions, and see how Cheney got five talents, Paulson got two talents,. . . .and then there was Bush, not too up on things, and even at the start. Bush announced that he had learned at Yale University that taxes get cut when a recession happens. The idea is to stimulate spending. So first there was a tax cut, then there was a tax cut, and then there was a tax cut. Finally the rich fellow Osama bin laden--possibly noting that only people like him(?) were getting any tax cuts--took pity on America: More or less like the rich people do. War Spending then got started. Yale University, of the Ivy League, had failed to mention that in order to cut taxes, people have to be liable for income taxes. That is requirement one. Nancy Pelosi is trying to Explain that to Paul Ryan, even this week. Low income filers were not paying federal income taxes, starting back with arithmetic: In the 1986 U. S. federal Tax Reform.
Any resemblance between Secretary Paulson, and Osama bin laden, is probably mostly apparent to accountants. Paul Ryan likely sees no resemblance, at all.
So in twice conquered Israel, Jesus offered the analysis, following the Pythagorean Theorm. After all, the Code of Moses was better regarded a blasphemy--the Law being made for humanity. The superior technology of a Greek religion, the Pythagoreans, could be used to make the better sense: To any assembled clergy(?). (People from Nazareth can actually be thought that stupid(?)!) The Code of Hammurabi had allowed that a family could sell itself into slavery. Dear old dad would make the contract. Even now, many would say, "There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
The square root of five squared, plus the square root of five squared, is close to the square root of 49. The household in the story should have been enriched eight talents. Thanks to Bush(?), in fact it was richer by only seven. And so, the decimal point would happen only 1000 years after that(?).
How is an income scale like a measuring scale? Arithmetic and Numbers: No one notes in all of history. Famous Adam Smith would in fact create a usury basis, without noting anything about income measurement scales. Back in Matthew 20:1-16, the crafty little story-teller from Nazareth--not altogether, apparently, that too bright about clergy--had even taken the arithmetic measurement of daily hours, and had created an equal amount payment--regardless if the workers had labored all the needed time unit sum(?), or not. Obama-Biden would go on with that, and create the "Make Work Pay," refundable income tax credit--regardless if labor had worked all the year or not. A year would be thought an actual time unit sum of weeks, or months, or days--or Miliseconds, if Al Gore is still inventing Silicon Valley. He would have been after Bill Clinton, who had come to the understanding of the arithmetic, probably from Robert Reich--not from Nazareth.
Effectively, Matthew 25:14-30, and Matthew 20:1-16, were taken out of the religious context and put into the secular tax code. That would then be Obama-Biden, maybe converted. Still, of course, the schools will not too soon, be up on that. If there is a vertical scale, then horizontal perpendiculr lines can be drawn in. Those can be thought representing the $57.0 tril. total credit market. Manipulations happen. That can even happen on construction job-sites--a phenomenon apparently not well-known about, among newer liberals, and at DNC.
And so Cheney and Paulson took what deficit there was, and sent it off to the Wall Street bankers instead. Reagan Trajectory I had taken what deficit there was, and sent it off to the already prosperous, defense contractors instead. Reagan Trajectory II would take what deficit there was--Obama bin Biden, before they converted(?)--and sent it off to the already prosperous, bureaucrats and public-tax-dollar paid: Teachers in the schools, instead! Probably, even now, this is regarded a miraculous conception, not to be discussed in schools.
What have politicians learned from Bernanke, no one asks(?)! For some people, all you need to do is flip a bunch of switches--and then you get QEIII!
Finally, at the Ivy League, Arithmetic can be wonderful after all?!? The Truck driver, admittely, who backed into the double-parked, brand new, $300,000 Ferrari: Probably makes better sense(?)!
"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirreded!)
(Addressing the Final Solution To The Presbyterian Question: "Just where is all this money going to come from?!? They don't seem readily able to discuss that, any more, at the Ivy League(?)! The Ivy League even kept the money during the foreclosure crisis, modeled after Matthew 25:14-30, just like the Germans of the Third Republic! That is what all the Ivy League is learning even now! Everything was wonderful!)
