Math Sucks

Here's one from Jimmy Buffett I can really relate to...

Geometry and trigonometry and if they dont tax your brain
There are numbers to big to be named
Numerical precision is a science with a mission
And I think its gonna drive me insane...

...Sometimes I think that I dont know that much
But math sucks

I have to agree that Math Sucks, especially when it comes to money. Seems like there is always too much month left at the end of the money. This makes it even more difficult to balance a budget. I am trying really hard to stick to a budget, even though our government doesn't. Going over budget causes you to rob Peter to pay Paul. Then you get caught up in more debt, and debt is so difficult to repay.

Proverbs 22:7:
7The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.


We as a country need to be very cautious with debt, although it may be too late. Here is a math problem for you...

If you were to deposit a million dollars into a pot every day since the birth of Jesus, you would still not have enough today to pay for this stimulus package.

( 2,008 years x 365 days x $1 million = $732.9 billion)

Math sucks
You dont even have to spell it
All you have to do is yell it
Math sucks
Sometime I think that I dont know that much
But math sucks

Mathematics of biblical proportions are... on this cowboys mind
