Apparently discovered by Eric Idle while visiting Idle

  Quote

Idle is a residential suburban area in the city of Bradford, West Yorkshire, in the north-east of the city. Historically it was a separate village, and before that it was the Manor of Idle. Idle is about 5 miles north of the centre of Bradford and 2.5 miles east of Shipley.Wikipedia

Near us we have the Loose womens institute in the village of Loose.

This is old news, from July, but I only discovered it today. Trump (in interview yesterday) wants to reduce the cost of medication for people by 1000%  (yes, a thousand %).

That's a bigly reduction, the bigliest anyone has ever seen before. It must take a real-smart stable genius to come up with that.

Sounds good to me. Am impressed.

So, say the drug costs $50.  Reducing the cost by 100% i.e. $50 would mean the drug would cost $0. It would be given away free, along with the medication. Yaay, free meds.

But, to take this further, reducing the cost by 1000% would mean reducing it by a further 900%. Which is a further $450.

The result?  The initial $50 reduced by 1000% =  minus $450.    

On every collection of the medication you would also receive $450. Whooee, punch the air and wave and point to random people.

PMSL. There is stuff on YouTube from a couple of months ago plus yesterday's interview.

The thing is, this huge error of the most basic mid-primary-school arithmetic was pointed out and it was all over the news when he announced it in July yet he repeated the 1000% claim yesterday. In July the reduction was as much as 1600%. Anyone collecting a $50 prescription would also receive $750 each time.

It's total Spitting Image and Monty Python material.
