  • I love it. For 30months Fox idolizes and drools over the magnificence and brilliance of Trump, and the right wing laps it up as the revealed truth from God. But let Fox have a small difference of opinion and it immediately becomes "fake news".

    You folks are just too much.
  • I'm not sure most people who watch Fox realize that there is a difference between it's actual news team, which Cavuto is on, and its extreme rightwing opinion shows like Hannity. But Cavuto was apparently evoking that.

    Sorry maybe too much out of line been listen too much to Michale Barry - brainwashed...

    I SHOULD be listening to much more PBS news (much more neutral) ..

    Sorry folks that was way out of line
    Back to investing no more politics.
  • @MikeW- neither does he.
  • hmm ... he just thinks media are being way way meangirl to the orange criminal and people should take to streets

    no, no, wait, the opposite, --- if BO had been hit like putinpuppet, that woulda happened for sure, all libtard progs would riot and still be rioting

    worse, look at how libtard prog faves got away w their immense perfidy whereas patriot flynn was hammered totes unfairly and lost so much

    I think, anyway

    last sentence seems additionally to be saying someone, maybe the "president" and his cohort, has been harassed and falsely labeled since prez election. I think.

    I need another whisky in order to reread. That much I know.

    Careful there... one of him is enough.

  • B-b-b-but Obama wore a tan suit once. (I think Fox Noise ran 3 prime time specials about it.)

    Could you imagine the reaction if Obama had done this:

  • he could wear a beater and chain-smoke and huge numbers would welcome him back

    who ever thought they would miss nixon, or lbj?? much less carter and h bush
  • Krugman writes that " Obamacare ...dramatically expanded health insurance without either increasing the deficit or raising taxes on the middle class, relying instead on a surcharge that only affected a small number of high-income taxpayers."

    Unless he's talking about the Medicare surtaxes (0.9% on employee side payroll taxes and 3.8% on unearned income) I don't know what taxes he's talking about.

    According to the CBPP, about half the expansion of health insurance coverage came from increased private coverage, and the rest from increased Medicaid coverage. None of the expansion came from Medicare.

    Medicaid expansion is funded by federal dollars coming largely from taxes on the middle class and/or from Treasury debt, while many individual plans are subsidized by, you guessed it, federal dollars.

    I'm not saying this reallocation of costs from beneficiaries to taxpayers is a bad thing. I'm questioning Krugman's "sense and math".
