I don’t know what in that sentence gives you the confidence to call me a warmonger.
And also, no, it wont really. Unless you redefine “huge difference”. We spend $522B on social/economic assistance programs at the federal level. So a ~~0.005%~~ 0.5% increase? Hardly a huge difference.
how did you get 0.005%? 3 x 100 / 522 is a 0.575 percent increase
~~3/522, no reason to multiply by 100. Not sure why you are.~~
You’re right my bad.
that's how percentages work lol. if you have 100 usd, 100.5 usd would be a 0.5% increase not a 0.005 percent increase (which you would get by dividing 0.5/100, right?)
You’re quite right, I’m a dummy.
