February 25, 2013

Nick Trioano co-founder of The Can Kicks Back, made the deficit hysteria case, but couldn’t explain why we need cuts, Sam explained why cost savings in Medicare should come from efficiency, debated Social Security cuts, debunked life expectancy statistics, Trioano sold the “Confidence Fairy” hard and Sam wanted to know what “shared sacrifice” meant.

On The Better Half: Susie Madrak from Crooks And Liars broke down the deficit myth, more myths of medicare funding, the Sam Seder learning annex returned, an epic W impression, Matt gives an update on the WWE-Glenn Beck feud, and your calls and IMs.
