More senators like this one are needed! More people in “power” to speak out the truth.

As I get older the less I can deal with numbers and percentages. My mind is not inclined to analyse figures anymore. I prefer my news in words, as in “…five times more likely”, and “…one third less people” etc. Words I can absorb but if I see that information in numbers, percentages or charts I skim past it. Some people absorb their information better that way so fair enough but it’s lost on people like me.

He was not unclear with the numbers, he was being frank, but when a politician such as a minister does this you are usually in a mine-field where you can step on a misleading expression at any moment even if you are numerate.
