liz macdonald, joe fami, mark newton. an investment play here, lizzie. >> 2/3 overweight and 2 trillion in economic burden here, that is equal to the economies of russia or italy. liz, you can imagine policymakers will say, they will not be satisfied with guys. -- fries. there will be pressure on the fast-food companies. liz: i think so, pressure on the fast-food companies. mark newton, what about help for health care companies or medical device-makers perhaps involved in insulin injection? >> i agree with that 100%. that will continue to be an area where they can fry. this become as bigger issue. they say in 15 years we could have almost half of the adult population overweight or obese. that is just amazing. as he mentioned the costs to society are immense. i like stocks like nutrisystem and weight watchers down 80% from all-time highs. nutrisystem in particular starting to base out. a few of these look like good risk rewards. the problem is not over by a long shot. it continues to get worse. these companies i would think

fox business's liz macdonald. owe sane i don't know, here to talk about the nfl and other things. j.c. parets, eagan billion capital founder and president -- eagle. some people talk about increasing our taxes, tax increases don't help do they. >> no, they didn't help. japan went this route in back in 1997. back then it raised consumption taxes. lo and behold it went into recession. japan has been a stop and go story i would say since 1989 and what is really interesting right now is the market reaction to what is happening in japan, that u.s. 10-year yield touched a low that we haven't seen in a week. david: right. >> it did retrace a bit. went back up to 2.73. in that sense, good for the u.s. we're the tallest midget in the room. david, when you have that consumption tax hike back in the mid 90s, japanese consumers stayed home and didn't spend. that is what happened this time around when there is consumption tax. six straight months of declines. david: michael, what kills me the imf was pushing this thing, increas

charles: i wonder if liz macdonald is really -- stuart: i yankees fan. the tax and spend ways of the democrats. morning again in america? new age of growth and prosperity, don't we all wish? our 2 moments away. tein in jellyfish, impact life expectancy in the u.s., real estate in hong kong, and the optics industry in germany? at t. rowe price, we understand the connections of a complex, global economy. it's just one reason over 70% of our mutual funds beat their 10-year lipper average. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. request a prospectus or summary prospectus with investment information, risks, fees and expenses to read and consider carefully before investing. stuart: hope springs eternal on "varney and company". it has been so bad for so long we hope the turning point has been reached. we hope the turning point was last week's election results. it seems to us that the tax and spend borrow even may have run its course. if we are turning away from several generations of failure, that would be a cause to celebrate, wouldn't it? the old guard is digg

we have liz macdonald and tracy byrnes. >> in the short term we are going to see this with long-termigration that is debatable. and by the way, barack obama said this in his own book. and many of these are in fact. he says that in his book and that is what we are going to see. >> i think it's going to hurt now. i think we have no idea what the cost is. we are still trying to figure this thing out. you can do this six ways to sunday. we have no idea what this will do to the burden of the american people. >> you know, you can sign-up for obamacare. >> we dispatched a big one now. and also in light of all of this, we know that 2 million fewer full-time jobs are part of this. who is going to pay for all of us? you need this to pay the taxes and to pay for all of these government benefits. the other thing that struck me that the president is not doing is that this is a bipartisan thing and we know that companies like procter & gamble are part of it. the major companies were founded by immigrants. procter & gamble, google, yahoo, intel, they create the jobs in this country. >> that means t

she's with our all-stars now including liz macdonald and others. so let's talk about that. there has to be some sort of a strategy. maybe double counting, to the left because republicans are going to keep pushing their thing and we are going to keep pushing our thing and the next two years nothing. >> as far as the democrats are concerned, they know where wages should be, they know that the wealth should be redistributed on the money, we know that we should have all universal health care, to add more regulations because we can't think on our own and they are going to double down on us and i think it's going to be more in-your-face than ever before. neil: how does wall street responds regardless? >> i think of this is built into wall street and wall street figures another 26 more months to go like this and that's not actually bad. when you look at the economy struggling along in the big issue is for the lower and middle class and the corporate economy and wall street will will do just fine. trillions of dollars of cash, they will raise dividends, you are seeing the split in

if you want more liz macdonald has an excellent article in fox business with treasury holdings can be leverage by countries like china. neil: i think they already do. >> we keep kicking can down the road. keep doing it as a nation. to me it is disturbing. the simple fact is 75% of the size of our total economy is held by foreign debtors. by 2030 it will be 88%. how comfortable does that make us feel? i don't understand. neil: sigh what you're saying. i think what moody's and others were saying we have better controlnd this. presently our deficits are coming down. never mind the fact they're still north of half a trillion dollars. every dollar more of what we spend be than we take in is added to that debt at that 18 trillion. that is like a ticking time bomb. >> iatt certainly is. we can not keep kicking the can down the road. first of c all unconscionable to pass along enormous debt to children and grandchildren. neil: republicans are not talking about it. they are just not. they don't feel galvanizing issue but they're not. >> i agree. republicans areva part of the problem because ev

liz macdonald is here for more on that. this places to the democrat left, doesn't it? ou say that because the democrat left was focusing on the last time this was at the forefront, that so many people feel the system is stacked against them. democrats are saying the system, more than half say the system is stacked against them. african-americans are saying this so it is bipartisan, right down the middle of the road. not just the gop people, it is everybody and this is in the year of big government spending so the big government spending is not making people feel great about themselves. you know what else is interesting? the last time americans felt this way to such a degree was in 1992 after president george h. w. bush broke his no new taxes' pledge and more government spending came in. despite the big government moves people are feeling is not working for them. stuart: we hear a lot about our president when he says you pay your fair share, roll that tape. >> americans who can afford it should pay their fair share. time for congress to stand up for the middle class and

liz macdonald. you have $160 billion in cash. why do you go out and borrow money?vative with its devices as it is with its move here. majority of its cash is overseas, 90% of that have to the u.s. corporate income taxes. parking over there but borrowing overseas in the euro zone. it can borrow in terms of the bonds it can sell in terms of borrowing in the euro zone as to the 1.1% in issuing bond collapse in europe, it would be turneding around the u.s. treasury, 2.4%. not only that but this will give senator carl levin who takes tax moves and things like this will probably give the transient -- will be a talking about here is apple can also deduct the interest costs. that is another move it can make. stuart: the as this crash but if they bring it back here it is a huge tax break. you say borrow it oversees the and 1% interest and that interest is tax-deductible. liz: they are paying apple to hold onto their money. after inflatioo and carley shimkus the tax deduction is a brilliant move. stuart: apple is very very smart. american tax rules. stuart: it should make ca

it costs more, liz macdonald is here. we have had this argument before. let me say my piece.cheap gas, the push for the economy is much greater than any loss from this cold snap or prolonged cold winter. liz: i take the other side of that. if you say prolonged, it would be -- stuart: an elevation like last year. liz: we saw basically your argument doesn't hold up when we saw what happened last year. stuart: the argument doesn't hold up? liz: it was -- did hit a lot -- the first quarter went to negative territory. that was historic. we saw a downturn in first quarter gdp, the worst since 2009. the economy did make it up in future quarters. we saw in the second and third quarter the economy go up. all the economic activity was delayed in those quarters because of that. stuart: the idea that cold weather over takes good news from cheap gas, that whole idea, wipes it out. i'm not buying it because it is highly speculative about the nature of the winter yet to come. liz: the hedge fund guys and wall street guys make trade on it but i hear what you are saying. one thing in your fav

liz macdonald has the story. what were they living in?living on a yacht, two luxury homes, the wife had a pedigree dog breeding business and their net worth around $5 million you factor that all in. $3 million in bank accounts, stuart. s of were getting food stamps, welfare. $167,000 in welfare over seven years. stuart: how did they get caught? >> government officials at how are you paying rent and personal expenses in your reporting are no money. they say well fraud is not an issue. even inspector general say underreporting of welfare fraud because they don't have the boots on the ground to catch these guys get stuart:'s what happens to them? >> he goes to prison for 21 months, she has made guilty. we're still working on information for you. this is a glaring example of how bad welfare fraud is. they call themselves lowered and lady. apparently on the lamb of the baja must. finally they got caught. the new king and queen of welfare fraud. stuart: good story. more "varney" next. i sure hope so. with healthcare costs, who knows. umm... eve

elizabeth macdonald. liz compare it to the cats in europe or russia. women are feeling more pessimistic than men. they are not paid at the same rate as men. anybody who comes on your show saying that women leave the workforce earlier so there is no takeout is wrong. they have not read that labor department study. they are saying they do not have enough workers in the study or enough long-term data. it is annoying. women are rejected outright because they are pregnant. they do not get the chop from the get-go because they are pregnant. one year after the same job, the same qualifications, there is a pay gap. it exists. even if it is a penny, a nickel, a dime. i have read the same department of labor study. i have read it repeatedly. stuart: i do not quote the labor department study. i quote studies where job a is done by a man and is done exactly by job the and a woman. same everything. they are paid equally. liz: toe to toe studies. i do not care about all the eye rolling. dispute what i say. even if it is a
