One of the favorite themes in the deficit hysteria is that foreigners hold close to half of the government’s debt………
From the media coverage of this era’s most vocal critics of economic and public policy, the Tea Partiers, you’d think that every American favored the new, interconnected, international economy in which call centers servicing the U.S. are based in India, and even Mexico — of all places — is losing jobs to lower-labor-cost China.

Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia’s 10th district joined us today. He is really, really afraid of Barack Obama. I just cant imagine why a Georgia boy would be so afraid of Barack Obama. He is really worried about socialism. He got all the talking points out. I forget if he said the American people don’t want this jammed down their throat. But wait till the last minute. Fast foward if you get a stomach ache.

In our heated debate yesterday about Dont Ask Dont Tell a caller challenged the whole concept of gays in the military and then challenged my assertion that Felons were allowed to serve in the military. Because the caller said he was once a recruiter I had second thoughts about my assertion. Had I just heard a liberal lie repeated enough that I believed it was true ? That is why I have my laptop computer opened and ready to fact check in real time which I did. I quickly came across a number of storied reporting that what I thought was indeed true and that the caller was ill informed or being dishonest. Here are a few of those links:
