No They Can't - Stossel Is The Greatest

[Katzndogz]

Stossel has some good ideas, but his being a doper ruins his credibility.

Does it make his TRUE points less true?

 

[The Infidel]

Good to know you like to see others assaulted.

I'll keep that in mind the next time one your sorry liberal bleeding heart posts shows up.

Now, now. He's just such a self absorbed jerk. It was pretty funny seeing him run away.

Here's wishing you a right hook from your husband or boyfriend (if such a moron exists) and a broken jaw.

I'll try not to laugh.

Stossel asked for it... what did Sarah do to deserve it?

Low brow man...

Companies are making record profits now and unemployment is slowly ticking downward. Were congress to get up off their asses and incentivize domestic hiring through the tax code..the economy would be picking up at a faster pass. You would also see solid and sustained growth..not the vaporware of the Bush economy.

Again, I'd love to have my life under Bush back, when I was making a lot more than I'm making now...

Yeah, but now you're doing it for the good of the collective! Our selfish days are behind us... must submit... must submit....

Big Brother is making it incredibly difficult for small business entrepreneurs to get off the ground. The massive paperwork and oppressive demands are stifling small businesses. Stossel really showed how insane & corrupt Big Brother has become. The segment on how Government Inspectors need to show violations in order to justify their jobs, was especially disturbing. Something is very wrong. It's time for less Government. It's the only logical way forward for our Nation.

Low brow man...

I don't recall seeing his asked to be assaulted.

As for SG....nobody deserves it. But if someone thinks it's funny, I'm not going to feel bad when it happens to them.

Go police something else.

 

[Katzndogz]

Stossel has some good ideas, but his being a doper ruins his credibility.

Does it make his TRUE points less true?

No because as I said, he has some good ideas. They just have to be considered with more scrutiny. I notice that he picks, chooses and manipulates the subjects of his stories very carefully such as the one he did on prostitution. It was truthful, but not quite as truthful as it could have been.

But who said he is a 'doper'?

He just feels the drug laws are stupid as do I.

The moron who assaulted Stossel would later say he was told to do it by the head of the Fake Wrestlers Association.

And Sarah is the asshole for taking the thread which had nothing to do with that ancient bit of history and pushing it back in that direction all the while saying it was funny.

Get a life.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Yeah, Stossel has the best show on Cable News.

Except that private businesses can't take more and more of our money under the threat of incarceration to endlessly fund their incompetence but the government can and does

No, they just buy politicians to get themselves tax breaks that you and I pay for.

Again, I'm all for smaller and more efficient government. But you try to cut anything, people scream.

Wonderful counter-point. The right wing doesn't understand that concept at all. Since their god ronnie came out with the mantra that government is the problem, they worships his on high. It's absolutely incredible how brainwashed they are over the idea.
Surely one day they will understand that those with money buy all the regulations and the politicians who make their life wonderful for them. It also makes them able to funnel the money their direction.

Which is an excellent argument/reason to not give the government the power to begin with.

 

[Listening]

Let's bring this one back.

 

[francoHFW]

Stossel sold out- it's just too easy to make millions off the dupes....

 

[Unkotare]

You're gonna get in trouble for being up this late in the dorms, kid.

 

[Listening]

This show was great !!!!

Once again Stossel knocks it out of the park.

*************************************************

NO, THEY CAN'T! Why Government Fails, but Individuals Succeed (also the title of my new book) airs tonight on Fox News.

Politicians say "Yes, we can!" and claim they solve our problems.

When the mortgage market crashed, the President said their new law, Dodd-Frank, would create a "new financial system" so such things would never happen again.

After 9/11, Senator Tom Daschle declared "you can't professionalize if you don't federalize!" The Senate voted 100-0 to create the TSA to run airport security.

Politicians' promises are endless. They say they'll: create jobs, "make college affordable for all," protect the disabled, give disadvantaged kids a head start, and invest in "cutting edge innovation."

But they can't achieve what they promise.

•Billionaire Mark Cuban and other job-creators explain why government's rules now prevent the job creation that was once America's hallmark.

•Dodd-Frank, instead of stopping fraud, added layers to already incomprehensible banking laws. Stossel shows how simple rules in the Cayman Islands not only stop fraud, but they also create prosperity.

•While the TSA creates long lines, misses actual terrorists, and angers passengers, screeners working for a private company at one big airport work faster, more cheerfully, and find more contraband. We show how the private company does it.

•Did you know that the U of Missouri is proud to have a "leisure resort" on campus? Naomi Riley, author of The Faculty Lounges: And Other Reasons Why You Won't Get the College Education You Pay For, explains how government aid led to massive tuition hikes.

•Since the Americans with Disabilities Act took effect, fewer disabled people have been able to work.

•Lisa Snell from the Reason Foundation explains how the government's own research found that Head Start did not help poor kids. Government's response? Spend even more.

Government grows, despite its repeated failure.

Politicians are wrong when they say "Yes, we can", but the fact that government can't doesn't mean that we can't. Free people accomplish wonderful things. While government wastes billions on boondoggles like Solyndra, X-prize founder Peter Diamandis explains how private investors have created cars that get 100mpg, space ships, and much faster ways to clean up oil spills, all without charging taxpayers a penny.

Without big government, life can be great.

Ah, the free market at work.

I was particularly interested to see him point out the way public money is used to turn universities into resorts to compete for attracting students. He also pointed out that the continued increase in subsidies on education have resulted in colleges raising tuition (he has clip of Biden admitting this is the case).

And when it comes to Head Start.....the democrats answer is the failed education system. A total dodge when it was pointed out that hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on the program, but by the governments own admission, has not achieved any recognizable results.

I am going to get the book !

A bump for John.

In light of the "you didn't build that" controversy, I thought I bring back some examples of how the government did build things...that cost to much or flat assed didn't work.

A lot of the stuff listed above is 1/2 the story.

However, the TSA is a joke; John Stossel is right about that.

In light of the "you didn't build that" controversy, I thought I bring back some examples of how the government did build things...that cost to much or flat assed didn't work.

I've never found this line of argument very relevant. That's not because the points made aren't compelling - examples of the inherent inefficiencies of using government to perform functions it shouldn't abound. But to me, it's just not the point.

Even if someone could prove the opposite, could show that giving government authority over all our important life-decisions would maximize efficiency, safety and happiness in society, I'd still be vehemently opposed. It's just not the kind of world I want to live in, and not the kind of life I want to live.
