from "the washington post" arianna huffington.e you back. >> thank you. >> senator sanders made his point. >> he made a very good opponent. you actually have senator sanders who may be teaming up with jim demint. i know rand paul says he'll oppose this. but there are a lot of republicans, and we even ebb had a lot of them on our show, that come on and just after calling barack obama a socialist who's bankrupting this nation for the past two years, another pass in as charles crowdhammer says, another stimulus package. >> this is another steaming pile of garbage. i'm serious. >> i think this steaming pile of garbage will actually get people back into the malls because you know why? >> why? >> because this goes to the people instead of the bureaucracy. >> okay, okay. >> they're both funded by the chinese, therefore a nightmare to the country. >> this is not something that's new being introduced. if it were somehow still mulats wouldn't have we know that? >> she's so right. the tax cuts are in existence right now. the majority of this

again, arianna huffington writes americas railway system is speeding down the tracks in reverse. it is one of the few technologies that is actually regressed over the past 80 years. regressed. now i'm not talking about china where they are building all of the high-speed rail lines. our rail situation in terms of the amount of time that goes from location one to location two has actually gotten longer. she writes, tom vanderbilt of slate.com, this is a good web site, came across preworld war ii timetables and make a startling discovery. many trade rides in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s, took less time than those journeys we take today. can you imagine that? in the '30s, '40s, and '50s, people able to get on the train and get to their destination in less time than is the case today. for instance, in 1934, the burlington jeffer would get you from chicago to denver in 13 hours. the same trip takes 18 hours. i don't know if you are familiar with the burlington zepher, it go from chicago to denver. it took 13 hours. today it takes 18 hours. i know in vermont, i don't have statistics in fro

let's talk about that with arianna huffington is editor of the huffingpost.com.ohn king usa" which is beginning at the top of the hour. surprising news, john? >> yes, many economists thought that it would be better, but this is a slap in the face, and sobering numbers, because the economy is producing jobs, but at an anemic pace, and there is center stage at the debate of tax cuts, and they don't use the word stimulus anymore, but it is infrastructure spending. and this tells americans, wow. >> and something new on the agenda to turn it around? >> no. we are having a big debate now about tax cuts, and the republicans immediately seized on this, and said that this is proof that you cannot raise taxes on anybody. the democrats want to set the limit for $1 million and the republicans say, a ha! more proof you not do that, and the democrats say to extend the emergency unemployment benefits and republicans say yes, but only if we have a way to find it. and small things or modest things that the administration is trying to get cluded in the tax situation, but most peop

people have equal access to all websites i think you just want to throw in a random jab at arianna huffington on that what do you need one little bit of more proof on his daily lies how about back in july when he said on his radio program that federal tax dollars and potentially obamacare are going to fund abortions. regulations joe think of the number of babies that will be killed with your name. congratulations mr. for now having my tax dollars your tax dollars going to. children. i'm sorry but that is just blatant fear mongering at that point he's attacking the hyde amendment which is a ruling that's been in place since the seventy's way before obama came to office that said that abortions can't be performed using federal funds and we were just the other day he even said that obama was going to unionize the t.s.a. so they could be his private army so what was that you were saying before about not making stuff sorry glenn you just can't when that when you make stuff up everybody knows that in fact there are numerous websites dedicated to calling out glenn's lies on a daily basis as in you c
