CNN's Ali Velshi called out Alex Mustache on tax increases vs spending cuts - affect on jobs.
The mustache has been appearing and bloviating on CNN since the Clinton days. Spending is something he never mentioned until recently. (Recently can be defined as since January 21, 2009.)

Velshi reminded listeners that tax increases do not seem to cause much of a change in the size of the workforce. But spending cuts come from jobs and consumer buying power.

I never thought I'd put up a post praising Ali Velshi.

But this is one. Thank you , Ali!

3. Velshi has never seemed to be a right winger.

You can count on a Canadian .... as Ali Velshi is, being raised in Toronto. His father was the first Canadian of Indian origin elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
