Pretty much EVERY country on the planet has a FREE HEALTH CARE system except this one.

So... if the players get injured in the London SB it take 19 weeks to cart him off the field? With our health system that is just two beer commercials and the Sprint guy.

Viva Los Estados Unidos!

For every one guy like Gerald Celente there are 10 other economists saying different. Celente has been wrong more than he's been right.

But fear sells - particularly on Fox News - which is where he made these comments.

Ahh, so the whole thing about needing a stimulus plan RIGHT NOW or we'd have another great depression...that's not fear, huh?

Our government has been in the business of promoting fear since the first Bush. It didn't change under Clinton or the 2nd Bush, and it certainly has NOT changed under Obama. Say what you want about Fox News, at least they show both sides of the issue...unlike NBC who's in bed with the Democrats.

How does FOX news show both sides of the issues?

How are Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Greta Van Sustern any different?? They share the SAME opinions and hammer them home for a 4-5 hour block EVERY NIGHT. 5 days a week!!! Then on the weekends when they get tired they pass the batton to MIKE HUCKABEE!!

Look this whole "FOX-Fair and Balanced" thing is played out. NOBODY on earth believes it anymore. NBC is just as bad the other way, but 2 wrongs don't make a right and don't try to hood-wink everyone with FOX being balanced and presenting BOTH SIDES! ha...lol

You, obviously, don't watch Fox. If you did you wouldn't have this opinion. Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity and Sustern all have their own opinions, but they have guests who have opposing opinions on every day and they treat these guest with respect. While Hannity is a big supporter of the Republicans, he does offer both sides. O'Reilly, Gretta, and Beck are independent, not partisan. Beck is very outspoken about that.

One note: O'Reilly has often been accused by right-wing talking heads about being too liberal. He supported immigration reform. He supported limits for executive pay for companies that took TARP money. He lambasted these companies for their junkets. Before the surge he also openly criticized Bush for the handling of the Iraq war. In fact, most hosts on Fox did.

In case you didn't notice..the link is for abc news. He has appeared on multiple networks. It is not the networks theory, it is his.. Like i said...you have to take from it what you will and believe what you believe. If you want to believe the economist that think everything is rosey then believe them. I am living it so I tend to believe what I am experiencing. Many people have the "it can't happen to me" mentality but if you think the world can't suffer another depression and that we aren't primed for one right now then so be it. I hope he is wrong at don't want to believe it but that doesn't mean I am not considering it and preparing for it.

FOX treates guests with respect??? HA....go rent the movie "UNFOXED" its a documentary on the Fox News Network. You watch that and your head will spin. Not to mention you see about 2 hours of clips of those FOX hosts you mention treating guests like garbage and with NO respect.

The guests FOX have can't even talk because they just get cut off.

Beck and O'Reilly are REPUBLICAN. Don't let them fool ya with their nonsense and BS. As is Greta.

Beck is out there throwing tea-parties after he has been in office a couple months, yeas really giving the Obama admin a fair shake.

Take this "SPIN" you got somewhere else, nobody is buying it.
