I don't care what you pull out of your ass, nitwad, it is all contextually wrong. You cannot double something by taking 89% of it.
Correct, you would have to take 100% of it to double it. As all of the links I gave you prove.
189% increase in our debt is a near doubling of it that Obama created going from 10.6 trillion when he entered office in 2009 to almost 20 trillion when he left 8 years later. End of story.
A 189% increase in our debt would be a near tripling, not a doubling.
I think the problem is the words are too confusing for you, they have more than 3 or 4 letters so they are outside of your reading level.

If you are measuring the increase, all you are measuring is the difference between the starting point and the ending point.
Let me give you a basic example.
You start with 100 dollars. You end up with 200 dollars. That is an increase of 100 dollars, which is 100% of your starting amount, meaning your money increased by 100%
If you start with 100 dollars and end up with 300 dollars, that is an increase of 200 dollars, which is 200% of your starting amount, meaning you increased your money by 200%
Here is another example of it being done correctly..

The NASDAQ went up today by 0.44%, not by 100.44%...just 0.44% since that is the amount of change.
