She rationalized her figure by stating that she was quoting an unnamed professor's figures and Investment Business Daily figures. Of course, Wallace then failed to probe the subject any further and question her abou that huge discrpancy in figures or why she did not research her sources. Of course, neither or Wallace's failures were unexpected.


I learned long ago not to expect accuracy from anything she says. It is obvious that she does not have "fact checkers" on her staff, or even worse that she does not believe Americans deserve to be told the truth. It is either the Revolutionary War starting at Lexington and Concord, according to her in New Hampshire or the founding fathers making sure that they did away with slavery. Either one is a question that could be on "Are Your Smarter Than a Fifth Grader".
