Overstating the cost by a factor of 7 actually equates to overstating it by 600%. Not 700%. More basic math!

That’s your first comment after 7 years of being registered?

I wondered if anyone would bring this up - but it depends on how you look at it. Palin’s figure is 700% of the real amount, so it’s not inaccurate to say she overstated it by 700%. If she hadn’t overstated it, it would have been 100% of the real amount.

If I had written that her amount was “700% higher,” that would have been inaccurate. So I didn’t.
