John Stossel is on TeeVee (Faux News) trying to convince us that ....

Outsourcing jobs is good for the economy and makes us richer.
Overpopulation makes a country rich (more people, more brains, more money is the argument)
Oil is getting cheaper and we are not running out of it.
School is bad for your kidx.
College does not lead to a better job.
Everyone does not need to vote in elections (your vote doesn't count).
Regulation is bad for safety of products; ie., the EPA kills people.
Etc., etc. etc.

Good grief; I'm getting a headache from the convoluted logic. No wonder people who watch Faux News are ignorant.
