In the Denver Post we have the following. As the article was written on 4/10 and there has been no correction, we can assume that Bob Schaffer found no inaccuracies in it:
he [Schaffer] said, noting that he visited more than 20 factories and found serious problems in only one.
Now we go over to schaffer v udall which gives us a copy of Bob Schaffer's testimony at the oversight hearings (note to Ben - Congressmen do not testify under oath):
I [Schaffer] went to Saipan and spent five days. Visited probably eight or nine factories in the time that we were there.
Leaving the specific issue of the Marianas Islands aside, do we want a Senator who votes to fund a program at "more than 20 billion" when he think's it's "8 or 9 billion?" I'm very concerned that with these poor math skills, Bob Schaffer will double our deficit while he thinks he has halved it.
Update: Based on a comment below, I may have been too obtuse in this post. The issue I am trying to raise is how many factories did Bob actually visit. Was it 1? |
