2. You do realize the the purpose of that show, don't you?
It is designed to piss you off.
It is not designed to inform.
It is your morning hate, put there to make you walk through your day in a haze of yuck.
That way you are a more docile worker/drone/consumer bot, and more likely to anesthetize the pain of living in contradiction-land by buying more crap that you don't need, preferably on your credit card so that you will pay the low, low, low interest rate of only 19percent!

Suckers...

The retirement age needs to be lowered, not raised. This will help free up jobs, since congress wants to protect their bribes by refusing to rescind the legislation giving tax breaks to companies that offshore and inshore.

6. I love when they pretend to be saving Social Security
while they wage war against the concept of Social Security or any social program. If a Rand Paul supporter thinks that his goal is to preserve Social Security, they are truly confused and deceived.
