Martin Bashir: Call Rep. Joe Walsh out! It's not uncertainty with business. It's lack of demand!

Shame on you and all the other talking heads on MSNBC and elsewhere who let Republicans like Rep. Joe Walsh, R-IL, repeat this bald faced lie over and over.

Either you are ignorant or complicit in their lies. Which is it?

1. Given that Mr. Bashir's previous experience was more in the field of

2. I thought Martin did a pretty good job of repeatedly asking him where the jobs are since

the tax cuts were passed. He seemed incredulous in response to Walsh's answer that HE wanted to lower the tax cuts even MORE.

4. When the business men themselves are asked. They say the

Uncertainity is with what is going on in the entire
global economy. Other than Germany, the EU is tilting
and bobbing trying to avouid falling backwards into a
Double DIP. The UK in their move to austerity is almost
in a double dip. Cut too soon and too deep.

is the talking point the Republicans use to claim more tax cuts will stimulate the economy. See if businesses were certain they wouldn't have to pay taxes at all they would hire more people. They just never say the new jobs will be in countries that promote slavery.
"Uncertainty" comes right out of the Frank Luntz playbook.

Consumer spending drives our economy--70% is consumer spending. Too many people unemployed, underemployed and with no money to spend.
