What's going on at Fox?
I just watched Neil Cavuto hand Rep. Alan Grayson his Congressional ass on a platter. For those who don't know,Rep. Alan Grayson wrote the "Pay for Performance Act of 2009," that would impose government controls on the pay of all employees -- not just top executives -- of companies that have received a capital investment or loan from the U.S. government. I can't wait to see it again on YouTube !!!

omg :x
I don't really understand the attitude of the mass media lately.
Strangely they underline more the bullsh*t Washington is doing instead of supporting it, or give a lot of air time to people like Ron Paul and Peter Schiff and now act respectfully towards them.
Is there a part of sincerity in all this or is it only a way to protect their "credibility" or put our attention on less important matters ?
Grayson wants total control.
He supports HR 1207 because he is a fascist.
He could care less that the fed is unconstitutional, but that it's not truly under the control of congress.
Grayson = control freak
Don't expect anything good to come from him.
I've often heard the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I don't think Grayson is a friend of liberty.

The problem here is
that both Grayson and Cavuto supported the root of the problem and that is the bailouts. If you don't steal from the tax payer to give to failed corporations then you don't have to worry about how the money is spent. The thief in the big picture is our government not AIG. Our government took 170 billion of tax payers money and "saved" a company that at its peak of bad dealings made about 4 billion, and before these bad dealings about 500 million a year. But oh they told the tax payer if we bail them out we might make money back on this deal. Yeah right in 50-340 years? Just basic math shows AIG has no chance of ever paying back the money our government took from us and gave to them so its really a friggen joke to fight over how much the employees get paid. AIG should have never been given the money in the first place. We also need to look at where the big bulk of the money went and and how AIG got into this mess in the first place. AIG's boom came from selling credit default swaps which is basically insurance on loans and if the loan defaults then the owner of the insurance gets paid out its full value, but they sold naked SCD's meaning that anyone could buy insurance on a bundle of loans not just the company holding the loans. This is like saying you can buy life insurance on a total stranger if you think they might get sick. For one loan bundle there could be 50 or more insurance policies. When the housing bubble burst AIG was in debt to all the banks, hedge funds and such that bought the insurance, betting that the bubble would bust, and what our government did is take our tax payer dollars and funnel money threw AIG to pay off all the people that bet the a % of people were too much in debt to pay off loans. So your house goes back to the bank and then you and your kids income goes back to the government to pay off the debt created to pay off the corporations that bet you would fail.

NOT!
See the videos I posted below.
Grayson was recently attacking the Federal Reserve and is a co-sponsor of Ron Paul's HR 1207 Fed Audit.
Cavuto was recently attacking Ron Paul on "earmarks," repeatedly cutting him off with "No, No!" whenever Paul brought up the Fed and Congress' billion dollar spending.
Cavuto is a propaganda puppet.
If a company accepts government bailout money rather than filing bankruptcy as they should, then they deserve no sympathy when the government gets invovled in their business.
All this distraction when the real issue is the Federal Reserve and trillions of unaccounted for dollars.

Do you not get it?
Grayson has voted for all the friggen bailouts! Our Constitution dose not allow the power of the Federal Government to take money from citizens and give it to private corporations. BFD that he wants to audit the fed. A lot of communist can agree with that. You cant make someone a saint just because they got one issue right but have to look at the big picture of all of what they do. From what I saw of Grayson, he has no clue what the constitution stands for. He just wants the power to look at the feds books but not end it. He dose not even understand what the duty of congress is, and that is to make laws. He just wants to just pass a vague law granting the executive branch unlimited power. What you seem to forget is that we never granted the federal government (read Article I section 8) any power to be doing what they are and the constitution dose not allow branches of government to exchange powers. The Constitution created a form of government where the rights of the people and the states were protected by granting each branch of government limited power. It was called checks and balances. No branch of the government was given the power to be too big. We seem to forget that today and will let any branch give the other power that neither should ever have and you wonder why we are fucked? Grayson may have took the fed on for his want of more power but he is no fighter for the Constitution.
You've Been Distracted. Cavuto Was Successful On You.
The Big Picture is NOTHING Congress is Doing, and EVERYTHING Congress is NOT doing.
The government intervening in a business that took government handouts is a small issue.
Are your representatives signed on to Ron Paul's HR 1207?

Have you contacted your representatives? If not, then you are being distracted with something insignificant.

The Big Problem is what Congress Has Done!
I am not distracted by Cavuto but on point on the issue that the our real problem is that our Government ignores the Constitution and will not live within the limited powers that were granted to them by the Constitution.
Congress created the Fed and now we the people have to beg to audit it? The government intervening in business is not a big problem? The government stealing money from taxpayers to give to business and then using that exchange as a way to create some new power not vested in the federal government by the Constitution to impose new regulations on business is not a huge problem?
I have contacted my representatives and HR 1207 is a small step in the right direction but the real solution is to end the Fed and to bring the Federal Government back to the limited powers it was granted by the Constitution.
The big issue is the right to contract and role of government is to protect the right to freedom of contract and to enforce contracts. If you want to take the stance that contracts mean nothing and the government violating them means nothing then you are on the side that says the Federal government has all the power, and the contract we signed with them, the Constitution, means nothing.
The Core Issue to the Entire Mess We Are in is the Central Bank
From political corruption and media manipulation, to the economic situation and Congress ignoring the Constitution.
It is Cavuto's job to yell and scream about people attacking the central bank, even on issues that are irrelevant, and very petty compared to the core issue. He has proven this recently with both Ron Paul and Grayson.
The only legitimate step in the works, towards correcting the core issue, is Ron Paul's HR 1207.
Where is it going to get us if we join Cavuto and Fox News in attacking Ron Paul's co-sponsors, on tired old issues that have been going on for decades? Nowhere. It's going to result in less support as more representatives shy away from supporting a bill that "Grayson" is also supporting.
And, the executives at Fox know this. "Republicans" are eating this stuff up.
If America and Congress are divided, the central bank wins.

Im not joining anyone
and I am not going to support anyone that is for a little bit of good if their end goal is evil. Guess what, you good buddy Grayson voted to bail out the banks and now he wants to give a fool like Tim Geithner unlimited power to regulate pay. Its totally unconstitutional. I just do not get that you think the American people should just sit back and shut up while we are being fucked up the ass, our tax money is being stolen, our children are being placed into debt they could never pay back, control of private business is being taken over, government is not only setting minimum wage but a cap on maximum, lets not to forget to mention cap and trade, forced national service, the expansion of ongoing war, oh and the little part about we are broke? By the time you ever get an audit of the Fed we will be under a one world government with a one world currency and the dollar will be a thing of the past so go luck in thinking the real issue is to audit the Fed.
Grayson is Not My Good Buddy. But He is a Friend of HR 1207
Ron Paul has got it right, the first step is in at least auditing the Fed. Once that happens, it's going to begin exposing what is really going on and why the founders warned of central banking.
I'll say it again, if America and Congress are divided, then central banking wins.

Cavuto may indeed have been in an entertainment mode with
respect to this interview, but both this Rep. and the bill are entirely deserving of being dumped on and dragged over hot coals......and that's a charitable evaluation.

Cavuto should have pointed out that nobody regulates Congress's
pay but Congress!
By the definition of the statute, in essence, it's okay for Congress to give the Treasury the power to regulate private sector bonuses even when Congress refuses to give the American public the say in their raises, benefits and bonuses! I say it should be up to WE THE PEOPLE to determine Congress's compensation based on performance but...oh...that would mean that most of them would be fired (or broke)!
Nothing but double standards as usual from Washington! Blah, blah, blah!

Thanks for the help in sharing the truth!
Cavuto is a Neo Conservative, working for a Neo Conservative.
Ron Paul on Neo Conservatives:

"The Neo Conservatives, a name they gave themselves, diligently worked their way into positions of power and influence. Above all else, they were not, and are not Conservatives, dedicated to limited constitutional government. More recently, the modern day Neo-Cons have come from the far left. A group historically identified as former Trotskyites."

My recent thoughts
My recent thoughts exactly... All we can do is look to 2012 and kick all but a couple OUT ON THEIR ASSES to the curb.
I know it's perhaps a "too little too late" scenario...
I don't know if he is acting or what.
He made some sense in waht he said. He didn't say what the Treasury Department could do with the power. Seems like the Teasury is becoming the Gestapo. If someone on in a company that takes government money. Disagrees with the government this person or persons could be targeted by the treasury without redress. This is a terrible bill. Should be stopped now!

Don't Fall for Cavuto's Acting!
Just the other week he was smearing Ron Paul for his little million dollar "earmarks" of accountability, while cutting off Ron Paul from talking about $350 billion, and the Federal Reserve Trillions.
Which is the main problem?
100 million accounted for,
or
10,000,000 million unaccounted for?
Ron Paul is famous for attacking the Federal Reserve.
And, Grayson was recently directly attacking the Federal Reserve.

My favorite part is the Congressman lecturing him for his
language and then calling him rude at the end which Cavuto replies, "So be it." I don't expect that kind of ranting to be allowed forever, but Cavuto has had enough and I'm glad he spoke up today.

What slander are you
What slander are you referring to? Congress is giving the treasury another blank check and this Rep. Alan Grayson seems to be elbow deep into it.
We deserve answers! Not the sort of nonsense spewed by Alan Grayson.
If Grayson is one of the better members of Congress he certainly was not acting like it.
