In April 1994, Bill Clinton was stumping for his health-care bill, when Herman Cain debated the president's claim that restaurateurs would bear only a marginal new cost. Herman said that the bill would force Godfather's to fire part of its workforce. Clinton disagreed and said that Cain would only have to raise pizza prices by 2 percent. Insisting that Clinton was incorrect, Cain wouldn't give in. He told Clinton, "I'd had my financial people run the numbers". Clinton then asked Herman to send the numbers to him and he would have his advisers go over them.

The next day Herman Cain did send the numbers to the White House and he also submitted an oped piece to the Wall Street Journal. The Journal published them, and after Clinton's plan collapsed, Newsweek identified Cain as one of its "saboteurs"—a badge of honor, especially among conservatives today. Later Hilary Clinton would say the Clinton administration could not be held responsible for every under-capitalized small business in America.

  • @psillyguava Ron Paul: 0% chance of being the republican nominee

  • @psillyguava yeah and then also implement nonsensical ideas about not regulating business and hoping 'it just works out'

  • @jagriff333 A mathematician is a person whose primary area of study and research is the field of mathematics. People who apply mathematics to other fields, but do not contribute directly to mathematics, are generally not considered mathematicians. This is a pretty universal definition of a mathematician. You can say that Hermain Cain is smart, but the smartest president we have had. Hell no! He isn't even close. Im not impressed one bit.

  • @lilpolo20 Yeah, but I didn't have enough characters to say what I am going to say now. You don't have to have a Ph.D to be considered a mathematician. You are thinking of theoretical mathematicians, which mainly do research at universities and have graduate schooling. There are also applied mathematicians who apply mathematical principles in a real-world setting. As I have said, he worked as a mathematician at the Navy where he most likely supplemented engineers. I'm studying science

  • @jagriff333 did you even read what I said is the question. Unless you have a Ph.D, you are not a mathematician. If you were a scientist, you would know that. That is why I can rest so comfortable with my assupmptions. Deuces

  • POW ... backhanded @ 8:17

  • I WILL BACKHAND BILL CLINTON

  • @lilpolo20 Did you even read what I said? He double majored and has a degree in both math AND cs. He worked as a mathematician during his time at the Navy (not an IT guy as you said earlier) when he worked with missile ballistics. I like how many assumptions you are making about not only what I have said, but my life experiences as well. It only goes to show that youtube is probably not the best place to have an intelligent discussion....big surprise! Later.
