This FBN special, "Out of work!", just keeps getting better. Now snarky libertarian John Stossel is interviewing dirtbag libertarian "economist" Steve Moore about how unemployment insurance is "bad" for workers. Does anyone fall for this transparent BS? Next up, Lou Dobbs promises to tell us how we are becoming another Greece.

So what is the FBN libertarian solution to unemployment? We all become entreprenuers! Why didn't I think of that?

I didn't know Moore was a dirt bag, I don't think he went to the University Of Dan Rather's School of Journalism where you just make things up out of the clear blue. Or could it be the show hit a little to close to home?

Hitting too close to home? That sh*tload of propaganda? I'd have to have pretty low self-esteem to let Fox News disturb me. They can try to personalize the economic downturn all they want, but it's just noise with an agenda in my book.

www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/18/paul-ryan-plan-kansas-gop_n_1681649.html?utm_hp_ref=kansas"Moderate Republicans say dramatic revenue losses will hit public services hard, especially public education, which accounts for 62.4 percent of the current annual state budget. "Unless jobs come flooding to Kansas, the first place to cut is education," said Republican Senate majority whip Jean Schodorf, who faces a conservative primary challenger. "We have to hope this (tax cut package) is a success, or a lot of people are going to get hurt. This is barebones, Libertarian government." Taken to it's logical end, the theory that cutting taxes increases revenue would mean that zero taxes would create infinite revenue. That's a Laffer!!!

Perhaps I’m slow today but I’m not sure what your point is. Fact: Governor Brown is cutting the CSU budget by 250 million. Brown, democrats and Obama are making an all out assault on education. Raising taxes is not going to save education not when the government is hell-bend on wasting money.

My point was Kansas is experimenting with a Libertarian-based state government, and they expect cutting taxes will promote growth. We'll see how that works out for them.

It is selective on what taxes they cut and by how much. The theory (and it has worked!) is that what revenue is lost by cutting taxes is more than made up by stimulating the economy. Increased sales (sales taxes), increased manufacturing (corporate taxes) and increased jobs (income taxes), etc. That is just the simplified version.

Nothing like a natural disaster to point up the bankruptcy of the Libertarian "Every man for himself" philosophy.

Once again, after another loonie gunman kills a bunch of people, I have to ask the Ron Paul freaks, where was Big Bad Big Government in Conneticut? I'm sure you must have some pat Libertarian dogma to cover horrors like this.

Don't you think it's interesting that the media outlets with the best journalism, contrary to Libertarian dogma about the "Free Market", are those that are government funded? (PBS, BBC, Al Jazeera)

Since I'm a glutton for punishment, I'm watching Libertarian looney John Stossel on FBN. Stossel has a couple of guys, including a clown from Libertarian "Reason" magazine, telling us how California sucks compared to Texas. Maybe so, if you like peckerwood music.

Oh boy, it's getting better. Now Stoessel is having a debate on who's gun laws are better, Texas or California. Some Texas Congress person is advocating arming Kindergarten teachers. Seriously. Guns in Kindergarten classrooms. Sounds like a plan. What could go wrong?
