There was nothing new and untried in Trussonomics. It's all been tried before, but not nearly so absurdly at the wrong time and all at once with sheer incompetent ideologues at the helm... Not saying it should ever have been tried at all...

By the way, if you really must boil pi down to two decimal places, it's 3.14, not 3.16 (or maybe I didn't get yer drift... It's been known...)
