Oh dear. Did I cause your head to explode?
Honestly, do you think the White House is trying to explain this stuff via the 2nd derivative? Don't be daft.
I am simply pointing out to you, who should know the difference, that it would only have driven up costs IN THE ABSENCE OF OTHER FACTORS if the 2nd derivative had increased.
Which it didn't. Shoot, even the first derivative is debatable, from what I can gather.
But like I said, it's OK. Someone has to fund the markets, and it appears I've found another one of those someones.
