pure unadulterated greed run amok. Gotta give them credit for single minded pursuit of wealth and power at the expense of all others.

who couldn't do the math. BTW here is the math she couldn't do. 40/200 (365/14). A reasonable estimation if one didn't have a calculator would be 40/200 (52/2) = 1/5(26) = 5.2 which is, wait for it, 520%. Any reasonably well educated adult should be able to do that, after she said how to do the math. I admit, I would have left out the fee if I wasn't told to include it. My assumption being you pay the fee only one time, not repeatedly. So I would have done this problem. 20/200 (52/2) + 20/200 or 20/200 (27) which is 2.7 or 270%.

She is very impressive. I'd love to know the director's thoughts when asked:

Representative Porter: "...and I'll be happy to send you a copy of the textbook I wrote..."
Director Kraninger: Well, look at Miss Smarty Pants

Representative Porter: "...let's do an example...."
Director Kraninger: Gulp

Representative Porter: "...you may want to write this down..."
Director Kraninger: I don't do maths, where's my phone?

Representative Porter: "....and if you'd like a calculator, we have one for you."
Director Kraninger: This ain't going so well...what's my salary again...when's lunch?

Yep. Schooled.
