Things I learned on Fox News!



There are so many insights in this 4 1/2 minute clip from today's edition of Fox and Friends that I need to make a bulleted list to tell you about them.

• You can't talk about big government subsidies without mentioning subsidies to NPR and Planned Parenthood. The money those non-profit organizations receive from taxpayers should be as much a part of the budget conversation as subsidies to the oil industry as this chart clearly shows:
  


• The move from a "defined benefit" plan to a "defined contribution" plan is great for everybody! Anyone who has ever worked for an employer that has escalated the amount they are required to contribute to a health care plan can tell you how pleased they are to see their purchasing power decrease so that their employer can improve its profit margin. Government should replicate this.


• The dude with the white goatee has played benefit concerts all over the world. I've never heard of him. Maybe that's because I only listen to liberal country music.


• According to country goatee dude, Exxon has only an 8% profit margin. I guess that means we should look after them. After all, ExxonMobil only made $30 billion last year. Grandma can pay for her own hip.
