Texas Congressfool Pistol Pete Session (Rep, Coal Industry) stood on the House floor and did some arithmetic.

In damn public.

He announced to a stunned America that Obamacare costs $5 million per person.  Then he showed his work.

“If you just do simple multiplication, 12 million into $108 billion, we’re talking literally every single recipient would be costing this government more than $5 million per person for their insurance,” said Sessions, chairman of the House Rules Committee.

Well, I guess we should be glad he’s not head of the arithmetic committee.

First, you divide, not multiply.  Second, when you do divide, you get $9,000.  That’s a tad short of $5 million.

Or, as the Dallas Morning News says —

Thanks to Kat for the heads up.
