Matt Damon v. Michelle Fields

A new CBS/New York Times poll shows that 82% of Americans now disapprove of the way that Congress is handling its job. That's the largest number on record, since the Times began taking the poll in 1977. And when asked if members of Congress deserve re-election next year, given what Americans have seen 75% said no. Reason.TV reporter Michelle Fields weighs in.

Libertarians do not support corporate weflare. Libertarians want to shrink the size of government...thus limiting corporation's ability to abuse government.

Corporations hate free markets because it forces them to compete. Corporations prefer to hire lobbyists, bribe congressmen, write regulations that favor them, and create artificial monopolies protected by government.

the problem with media in general... mostly applied to women journalists... do you honestly believe the the best looking people in the world are the smartest? I'm supposed to believe it's just a coincidence and these two beautiful women are truly the smartest and most qualified. The media is a scam and it's all bullshit. But you wont get viewers if there's not tits on the screen. Youtube has proved that.

@gideondavid30 Can we stop with this 'shrink the government' rhetoric. What part of the government would you shrink exactly? I think people have this habit of just throwing out words with presupposed meaning without considering that they mean.

The government needs to govern correctly. Not shrunk. A big government doing the right things is exactly what we need right now.

@gideondavid30 well with that logic, why have government in the first place? I don't see how the size of government is the issue, its the elected officials -- the politicians who get into the job for corporate sponsorships.... for money, rather than serving the public. if the end of libertarianism is to abolish government, then i agree... but our society is FAR from that ideal. it's going to take an immense amount of education and entirely new institutions to get there

@mattakudesu It's more complicated than that, it'd be ridiculously simple if that's all it as.

My parents are both professors, and they both have tenure, they need that tenure to have job guarantee while they fulfill academic side-obligations, that are part of being professors. They don't get paid all that much for that, if at all. They can't do both, but both are necessary, Tenure is not given easily.

It only applies to senior professors anyways. Read the wikipedia article on academic tenure

Everyone is complaining that these people are talking about this only because they are hot, but they aren't that hot. They are talking about an important issue because they are reporters, and they are thin thin and well dressed and have makeup because they are reporters on television.

Their jobs are not to add intellect, their jobs are to communicate something and get people to pay attention. Isn't it working?

i have to agree with her, teachers should be kept based on performance, not on how long theyve been there.
