Fox Business Network infested by false tale of stimulus bill's …

PAYNE: Adam, Americans don’t care about pork, and more orless what Chuck Schumer is saying is, just throw everything against the wall,let’s see what sticks. And by the way, you know, obviously, I thought about youthis morning. the salt marsh mouse — Americans don’t care about that kind ofstuff?

LASHINSKY: well, I think, Charles, you and Todd [Wilemon]are letting the facts get in the way of telling a good story here, becauseChuck Schumer is probably right. Look, two things: on a more serious note, Ithink we’re all bought into the fact right now that we don’t care about thebudget deficit in the very short term.

Republicans and Democrats alike agree that if we could getto good stimulus — good stimulative spending — that that would be a good useof our money right now. whether or not this bill does that is a separatesubject. Do Americans care about pork? I don’t think so. I don’t think theyever cared about pork. they care about somebody else getting pork, but if theycan get some, they love it. You know that.

PAYNE: so — so, Ben, $30 million to save a mouse in a marshsomewhere near San Francisco,and the average person is wondering where their next mortgage payment is comingfrom. Do you tell me that people don’t care about this stuff?

STEIN: I think people care about it very, very much. There’san awful lot of doubt about it. I can remember a long conversation with KarlRove, who certainly knows an awful lot about how elections are won and lost,saying that the allegations of pork and earmarks against the Republicans weredevastating to them in the 2006 elections. this whole bill is pork though,Charles.

LASHINSKY: the second point is: It’s great — I think it’sgreat to see Wal-Mart coming back to Chicagoand saying, look, let us in. We’re going to invest money in your community. Howcan you say no to that? San Francisco,my city, just said no to a company called American Apparel, and it was stupid– a company that wanted to spend money in a neighborhood. it doesn’t — itjust doesn’t make any sense.

PAYNE: well, maybe if American Apparel could find a home forthose salt marsh mouse, they might get a compromise here.

What do you think the first main thing that messed the economy up is?

filed in News & Events on Mar.13, 2010

I’ve heard so many people blame the economy on different things without actually knowing what messed the economy up. I’d like to hear from Republicans and Democrats on their views. Please be specific in your answer. Don’t just say, “It’s all Bush’s fault” or “It’s all the democrats fault.” Please back your answer up with facts not just what you want to believe.
