Peña Charles V. Peña is a senior defense policy analyst at the Cato Institute. Candidate Bush pledged that he would unilaterally reduce the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal if he became president. Last November, President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin both declared that the United States and Russia would reduce their nuclear weapons by roughly two-thirds over the next decade, leaving each side with no more than 2,200 warheads. While not a formal agreement, this was considered a milestone in strategic relations between the two countries, swiftly achieving deep weapons cuts that could not be agreed to by a prior decade of formal negotiations. What got lost in the shuffle, amidst all the good news, was a statement released by the White House that changed how those weapons would be counted from "weapons" to "operational nuclear weapons."

Kerry Ad on Abortion: Fuzzy Math Kerry claims the Supreme Court is "just one vote away" from overturning abortion rights for women. Make that TWO votes. April 24, 2004 Modified: April 24, 2004 eMail to a friend Printer Friendly Version Summary A Kerry ad released April 19 claims the US Supreme Court is "just one vote away from outlawing a woman's right to choose" an abortion. But the fact is that only three of the current nine judges have ever voted to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. Analysis The claim that a single Supreme Court appointment could result in overturning the Roe decision was Planned Parenthood v. Casey Announcer: The Supreme Court is just one vote away from outlawing a woman's right to choose. George Bush will appoint anti-choice, anti-privacy justices. But you can stop him. Kerry: I promise to take the fight to George Bush every single day. I'm John Kerry, and I approved this message. Announcer: But one of the four justices who voted to overturn Roe Roe Roe and who continue to say it was wrongly decided.

Paul Krugman Fuzzy Math The Essential Guide to the Bush Tax Plan Wielding his widely recognized powers of explanation, Paul Krugman lays bare the hidden facts behind the $2 trillion tax cut. With huge budget surpluses just ahead, the question of whether to cut taxes has shifted to when? and by how much? With Fuzzy Math , Paul Krugman dissects the Bush tax proposal and shows us who wins, who loses, and how quickly the tax cuts will consume the surplus. Always the equal-opportunity critic when it comes to faulty economics, Krugman also tucks into the Democratic alternatives to the Bush plan. This little book packs a big wallop. Together with major media appearances, it puts Krugman's wisdom and steely-eyed analysis firmly at the center of the debate about how to spend upwards of $2 trillion. It may very well change the course of history. Paul Krugman , who "writes better than any economist since John Maynard Keynes" ( Fortune ), writes the biweekly "Reckonings" column for the New York Times . Winner of the John Bates Clark Medal, Krugman teaches at Princeton University.

(Photo: CBS/The Early Show) The war in Iraq is a large potential cost that the president's budget largely ignores. (Photo: AP) (CBS) In a presidential debate nearly four years ago, George W. Bush accused Al Gore of employing "fuzzy math." But increasingly, it's the White House that's being accused of numerical fuzziness on Medicare, the deficit and jobs. President Bush last year signed a Medicare prescription drug benefit with an estimated price tag of $395 billion. A month later, the White House said the actual cost was more like $534 billion. In his State of the Union address, the president pledged to halve the deficit by 2009. But his plan largely excludes the cost of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and does not reflect the long-term impact of Mr. Bush's proposal to make recent tax cuts permanent.

The Pentagon's Fuzzy Math Does anyone know how many soldiers we really need? By Phillip Carter Updated Wednesday, June 23, 2004, at 2:11 PM PT The occupation has forced the Pentagon into ever more elaborate, Rube Goldberg-like arrangements to maintain troop strength in Iraq. It has issued "stop-loss" orders preventing soldiers from retiring when they're supposed to. It has called up members of the Individual Ready Reserve who've completed their active service obligations. The next Iraq rotation is slated to include "opposing force" units from the Army's premier training centers in California and Louisiana —a move some have likened to eating the Army's seed corn because these units play a key role in training the rest of the force to fight—as well as tens of thousands of reservists, because the active-duty force has been all but tapped. The situation has gotten bad enough that both houses of Congress have sped through bills to permanently boost the size of the 482,000-man Army and 175,000-man Marine Corps. But adding more troops for their own sake may not be the right answer, despite the current strains on the military from the Iraq and Afghanistan missions. So far, no one is asking the most fundamental question of all:

Fuzzy Math By William Saletan Posted Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2000, at 12:00 AM PT Have the votes for president been properly counted in Florida? On the surface, that's a question of simple math. But beneath the number crunching, Republicans and Democrats are waging a war of disguised biases. When data don't turn out the way your theory predicts, should you question the theory or the data? When a new vote tally contradicts an old one, should you distrust the first count or the second? When one kind of recount is more evenhanded but another is more comprehensive, which is better? These dilemmas form the hidden crux of the debate over whether to recount Florida's ballots by hand, as Democrats prefer, or to rely on a machine recount, as Republicans prefer. The two parties aren't being candid about these questions. And math won't answer them. 1. Theory vs. data.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL June 11, 1997 President Clinton's Mandate for Fuzzy Math By Lynne V. Cheney Marianne Jennings, an Arizona State business professor, has brought enlightenment to the multitudes. With her commentaries on her daughter Sarah's eighth grade math book ("MTV Math" she calls it, for its colorful pictures, disconnected ideas, and generally casual attitude), she has helped parents across the country realize they are not the only ones dismayed by current mathematics education. Kids are writing about "What We Can Do to Save the Earth," and inventing their own strategies for multiplying. They're learning that getting the right answer to a math problem can be much less important than having a good rationale for a wrong one. Sometimes called "whole math" or "fuzzy math," this latest project of the nation's colleges of education has some formidable opponents. In California, where the school system embraced whole math in 1992, parents and dissident teachers have set up a World Wide Web site called Mathematically Correct to point out the follies of whole-math instruction.

Last year, the Office stated it spent 33% of the drug war budget on drug treatment and prevention activities while 67% went to law enforcement and interdiction. This year, despite making no substantive spending changes, the Office claims to be spending 47% on drug treatment and only 53% on law enforcement activities. In addition, the office appears to inflate its numbers by including alcohol treatment, which by law is specifically excluded from their scope of responsibilities.

Volume 36, No. 2 February 2005 English number words may confuse children Senses and Symbols "The lack of number-words seems to preclude the ability to entertain concepts of exact number." Peter Gordon Columbia University Teachers College Fuzzy math A remote tribe that lacks a counting system suggests limitations on inborn representations of number. BY SADIE F. DINGFELDERE Monitor Staff Print version: page 30 Science (Vol. 306, No. 5695), focused on cognition and behavior. The finding suggests that language, especially number-words, plays a critical role in people's comprehension of quantity, Gordon says. However, other researchers paint a slightly different pictureone where humans, and some animals, are born with the ability to perceive numbers and even predict the result of simple mathematical operations such as addition and subtraction. One such researcher, Rochel Gelman, PhD, a psychology professor at Rutgers University and co-director of the Rutgers University Center for Cognitive Science, holds that people are born with skeletal principles for abstracting numerosity. Research by psychologist Karen Wynn, PhD, at Yale University supports this proposal. She has found that infants can notice when the number of items in a group has changed, Gelman notes. Cross-cultural research also converges on the idea that, although different cultures develop different counting words, they all share similar propertiessuch as attaching one unique word to each counted object, and using the last number-word to stand for the entire group of objects, she notes. The finding suggests that the ability to use natural numbers shares a common core, regardless of culture, says Gelman.

var cnnSiteWideCurrDate = new Date(2005,8,16); Web CNN/Money Home News Markets Technology ... SUBSCRIBE TO MONEY The fuzzy math of health insurance When an insurer's idea of usual, reasonable and customary comes up short, you're stuck paying. August 30, 2005: 2:26 PM EDT By Sarah Max, CNN/Money senior writer SALEM, Ore. (CNN/Money) – Consumer advocate Linda Sherry is an expert when it comes to reading fine print and getting through to customer service. But when her health insurance company denied many of the charges related to a detailed physical, Sherry felt like the poster girl for aggrieved consumers. "I came face to face with 'usual and customary,'" said Sherry, an employee of Consumer Action, a non-profit consumer group based in San Francisco. As a member of an indemnity plan, Sherry can see any provider she chooses and is then reimbursed for a percentage of the charge. Patients often assume that the insurer will pay a set percentage – typically 80 percent – of the actual charge if they are in an indemnity plan or go out of network with a managed-care plan. The reality is that insurers pay only a percent of what they determine "usual, customary and reasonable." If that amount is lower than the actual charge, the provider takes a loss or the patient is stuck paying the difference.

40. The Unofficial Paul Krugman Web Page fuzzy math Returns. SYNOPSIS Don t sacrifice our long term economic prospectsin the name of ending a shortterm slump. Post-terror nerves aside, http://www.pkarchive.org/column/100701.html

Fuzzy Math Returns SYNOPSIS: Don't sacrifice our long term economic prospects in the name of ending a short-term slump Post-terror nerves aside, what mainly ails the U.S. economy is too much of a good thing. During the bubble years businesses overspent on capital equipment; the resulting overhang of excess capacity is a drag on investment, and hence a drag on the economy as a whole. In time this overhang will be worked off. Meanwhile, economic policy should encourage other spending to offset the temporary slump in business investment. Low interest rates, which promote spending on housing and other durable goods, are the main answer. But it seems inevitable that there will also be a fiscal stimulus package. That package should include only measures that really will promote spending now, when the economy needs it. It shouldn't include anything that worsens the long-run budget position more than is necessary, or anything that looks like "hitchhiking," exploiting the short-run difficulties of the economy to pursue unrelated long-run goals. Unfortunately, the Bush administration has just taken a big step away from those principles.
