forky's reply will be to post a study having nothing to do with the above subject

I cant see anything your post has to do with the above subject.

I do know his subject was posted last year with similar, alarming numbers ...and then turned out to be as big of a dud as the board's criminal allegations against Hillary

No....we were suppossed to get alarming, high teen to low twenty percent increases based upon similar proposals DonDiego posted on this site around this time last year. He quietly abandoned that thread once the real data came in and started a new thread for 2017 on the same useless data.

DonDiego does a good job of pushing Hoops's buttons. Ive noticed threads about golf have a similar effect.

DonDiego Abandoning A Thread, . . . Quietly

Sorry my chart didn't transfer well, but 29 of 50 states had double digit rates. obama promised lower rates

BINGO !

The nationwide average increase in 2016 was a whopping 6%. Or as DONDiego might put it.....blah,blah,blah, , nevermind - ill post the same alarming and useless predictions as last year

Wait, you mean the freedompartners.org where three out of five board members work for Koch Industries? Well there's a fair and balanced source! Well, I suppose there about as credible as DonDiego on this subject.

Is the data incorrect?
