Obama gives back 5% of his income

          The title speaks for itself, but before that, here's yesterday's answer. (I recently added in China's population in last post, as I forgot to include it before. I also made the mistake of using current populations instead of 2010 populations, but that shouldn't change the answers too much.) First, if you do 1,200,000 (deaths from air pollution in China) divided by 1,354,000,000 (China's population) you get 0.08863% of the population dead from air pollution, which also the probability. There were 2,000,000 deaths in the rest of the world (That's 3,200,000 total), and the population in the rest of the world is 5,722,000,000, so the average probability of dying of air pollution in 2010 in the world excluding China was 0.03495%. That means you had a 0.05368% higher chance of dying in China from air pollution. That's more than double the chances, and fairly close to triple!

          On March 1st, President Obama started giving back 5% of his $400,000 a year salary to the government to contribute his sacrifice to the sequester. Little does he know, though, that he gave me a great topic for my blog. I can show you just how much in debt the government is, which is a mind boggling $16.8 trillion. Assuming Obama gives this money for the rest of his presidency, if his term ends starting at noon on January 20th and gets paid monthly, how much money is he losing and what percent of the national debt is that? One more thing is that I don't know what day of the month the president gets paid, but it doesn't change the answer as long as it's not after the 20th of every month (or at least January). So let's assume that he get's paid before the 20th. Check back tomorrow for the answer!
