Steve Kroft is a fucking moron

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

I just thought I'd share that with y'all.

In the 60 MINUTES interview he countered Obama's comments on the Bush tax cuts with his assertion that tax cuts for folks making over $250K are stimulative because those are "the people who have money to spend."

The more you ponder that reasoning the more your head will hurt.

[trotsky]

1. Repeat the lie often enough, and it becomes the truth.

The Republicans have proven this time and time again, and now that's but one of the many Republican lies that have become the "truth."

[malaise]

2. Any 'new' news?

Duh!!!! :rofl: :hi:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

3. I agree it doesn't belong in LBN (!)

[OHdem10]

4. Could he have mispoken???

They have so much money, they throw the check in Savings or
Investments. Does not circulate through the economy.

They have had the benefits of this taxcut for over
8 years. Theoretically we should have not gone into
recession. We know the truth--most of the jobs
they created were overseas.

Was he being ironic, sarcastic??

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

6. Nope. Saddly Kroft was being perfectly serious.

[geckosfeet]

5. It's been over 8 years. Shouldn't the tax cuts have worked by now?

[Beartracks]

12. Why, yes. They should've made us recession proof...

... if GOP arguments are to be believed.

13. Well, it's been close to 14 years with the "Free Trade" Agreements taking effect . . .

. . . and as you can see, we have just an abundance of "new age", high-paying jobs as a result.

Corporatist laissez-failures only care if things work for THEM, not us.

Pushing corporate media bullshit. Steve disappoints.

[alsame]

8. He used right wing framing for all the questions. nt

[BeyondGeography]

9. Rec'd

[Beartracks]

11. Then how did we ever get in a recession in the 1st place?

There's always rich people spending money.

What a moron.

14. why would a reporter refute the President's policy. news media is the opposition

[applegrove]

15. Croft was all doom and gloom with his questions.

[Canuckistanian]

16. Poor people just hoard their money

They're afraid that if they spend it, they won't have money for food. :eyes:

That's about the same level of logic Kroft is using.

[donheld]
