 dear valueplus.

the numbers are in, and this proposal is out.

it seems that the guys with the fancy calculators finally figured out that it would cost the state four billion dollars to save 444 million.

not a tenable position. it was a nice try though.

Hey bugman,

Do you want me to copy and paste the 5 or 10 times in these posts where I said, "If the incentive costs too much money, then it shouldn't pass!  But, if it is found to save money, then it should pass"? 

I just wanted everyone here to wait for the "guys with the fancy calculators" to do their thing and make an informed decision.

Would you listen to some guy in a bar or in a barber shop or in a forum says something is too expensive or would you listen to the guys who REALLY know what their talking about?  When my grandmother said to put butter on my burns---------I always had the feeling I should listen to a doctor instead.

 it didn't take an economist, a mathematician or a fancy calculator to tell that this plan would not save money. it took something you don't give anybody any credit for having. simple common sense. i'm glad you had an open mind about it, though.

Nice save.

 common courtesy. but thanks.
