Nick Gillespie on Fox News' Cavuto, Dec. 8, Talking Obama's Jobs Plans

On December 8, 2009, Reason's Nick Gillespie appeared on the Fox Business Channel's Cavuto to discuss President Barack Obama's "jobs summit," stimulus, deficit spending and related plans to create more employment.

In the long run, we're all dead, quipped John Maynard Keynes. "But," asks Gillespie, "how do we pay for our funeral?"

I actually saved 20 lives on my way to work this morning by consciously making the decision to not run them over with my car. How many lives did you save today?

Money spent by government comes from the productive people and projects. It is then spent on unproductive people and projects. This doesn't create jobs, it just moves them from positions of freedom and capitalism to control by the socialist government.

"Gillespie doesn't need Fox News anyways"

That's exactly the point I was making in the first place.

[787Bisurdaddy]

I was specifically thinking of Cramer when I made the statement; yes, MSNBC has it's "liberal" shills but fake liberalism is exactly that.

If you want to insist that I'm a liberal, I have no problem with that. After all, libertarianism embraces classical liberalism.

I'm not sure why you assumed I wasn't a libertarian, but I am. Actually, I prefer the term "anti-statist" because I'm not a minarchist.

@787Bisurdaddy

I can tell when i'm talking to a liberal or dem because they are always clueless.. Seriously if you didn't know MSNBC was a liberal news station then trust me your clueless.

lol black and white, i'm not a republican either i may lean towards the right but i'm still a libertarian.

Gillespie doesn't need Fox News anyways he has Reason Magazine and YouTube.

[787Bisurdaddy]

It's funny how you think I'm a liberal or a democrat, since I'm neither. Maybe you should stop examining things in such black and white terms.

@787Bisurdaddy

I had put news "organization" but i ran out of space so i put station lol.. but MSNBC are you serious? They are the biggest liberals in the media.

Its funny how liberals or democrats don't see just how biased things have become. i guess maybe if you were on the other side you would have to notice. But in all seriousness, yes fox news is the only right leaning news national news station on tv. Olbermann, Maddow and Schultz all liberals all msnbc..

[787Bisurdaddy]

Only national news station (I think you mean channel) that isn't liberal? What are you smoking? I guess you've never watched MSNBC before.

Not that it matters, because "liberal" and "conservative" when it comes to the media are meaningless terms. They're just distractions created to keep people from noticing the blatant corporatism.

Nick isn't getting his point out, there's not enough time. Instead, he's coming off as if he's just another Fox News parrot.

@787Bisurdaddy

Fox News gets way more ratings than any of the other national news stations. Not only that but they are the only national news station that isn't liberal. So regardless of whether or not Fox News will "kick him to the curb" if he wants to get his message out there to even more viewers Fox is a great way to do it. If you can't see the advantage of Gillespie getting his point of view out to more people and i'll add, people that will listen to him, than you need to open your eyes.
