Is it as nuts as it sounds . Bear with me here, people. Our money power panel will break it down. Are plastic bags the way to extinction. Theyre completely banned in two cities. Chicago wants to nix them. Guess who is behind it . My favorite chicago alderman. I say stop the madness. But Alderman Joe Moreno is here to disagree with me. Even when they say it is a not it is always about money melissa first lets take a look at todays market headlines. Mediocrity apparently the reason to buy on wall street today. The november jobs report came in above expectations but the 146,000 jobs added is below average monthly growth for the past two years. That and 350,000 americans left the workforce. It all somehow added up to an 81point gain on the dow. As usual the markets are making perfect sense. Also more americans are finally waking up to the scal cliff. December Consumer Sentiment nosedid to a fiveyear high, because of fiscal cliff fears. A spike in taxes would leave a lot less money lying aroundor the iphone or ipad. Shares of apple fell 2 . Thanks to a study by the department of energy the u. S. May be closer to approve natural gas exports. Data shows it could improve th economy by 47 billion in 2020. We need that. Sounds like a winwin. We have the ceo of bright link oil and gas. Chris, thanks for joining us. Thank you. Melissa what do you make of this report . First of all, do you buy it . Do you think its possible . I dohink its psible and im glad to see it come out. What it really does now it shows overhe 12 different enarios that the government study investiged each one of those scenarios came back and said america will benefit and have a positive economic gai if we export lng offshore to europe, and or asia and to other countries that need our gas. Melissa we have so much natural gas unlocked as a result of fracking, the problem is, intellectually, emotionally we can never wrap our heads on exporting energy. Were sure we have to keep it all for fraaking,c problem isc intellectually wrap our heads aroundzv exporting energy. Weypure sure to keep itc all for ourselves. c do you think the president andc washington in general cansget over that hurdle. c it is a great pointc, what youre describec something protectionism. Zvcmyv it could be a cake and eat it too scenario. Within eight years or now seven years as we turn into the new 2013 year it could be 50 billion Economic Impact to this country. So were tripping over dollars to try to save pennies. Weemight be able to impact the ecomy here. Melissa i know but, you know, there is so much of the country, there are so many environmentalists so many people on the left who hate generating energy. They barely wt us t generate enough energy to el our own economy and much less more and to actually go make money. Im worried about getting over that hurdle. There are two theories. One theory is well never be able to export unlimited amounts of natural gas. If we do export it will be capped or it will be taxed so heavily the premium once pe liquify it, rigas it, go into europe or asia there may not be enough premium to make us competitive against australia lng or qatar l we compete with. Well see. If you do look at where the america is going onil side bigger than saudi arabia d russia, natural gas will be there right beside us. We found 200 years of natural gas is up price already. If natural gas is up price increase we can go back to drilling natural gas. We did analysis. If we export 6 billion cubic feet natural gas a day that will only impact the price ofenry hub natural gas by 20 cents per million cubic foot. A very small increase. Hey, if you export it will double in price. That is not true. Melissa one of the problems as youre drilling down on the details here it is a gas. You have to turn it into a liquid in order to be able to load it on a ship. Yes. Melissa and export it to another country. You need a terminal there where you can receive it, turn it back into gas. Yeah. Melissa that adds a lot of money to the price. It still realistic under those metrics . It works because america has cheap natural gas right now and if you look atthe numbers, the 5 number it adds on top of the natural gas commodity price in america going to asia and 4. 50 going to the europe, the difference is the panama canal toll way, about 50 cents there. At 3. 60 this morning were 50 going to europe and nine going to asia. So you understand, europe pays 10 to 12 for their gas. Asia is paying 16. It is competitive number and makes sense. Will america be able to do it . I think we will. The rl question is what kind of sale. Melissa i think the government will tax the hell out of it ranning the whole thing. That is debate for another thing. We appreciate your time. Good thoughts. Thanks, melissa. Melissa time for the fuel gauge report. Slumping fuel prices and global economiconcerns pushed oil prices down for the fourth straight day. Crude settled at 84. 93 a barrel. That ithe lowest close since november 15th. A request to release more water into the Mississippi River was shot down by a the army corps of engineers. A group of midwestern senators made the appeal. Shrinking oil levels are threatening to close barge trafficlong the mississippi. This is a huge story. They said release would put upper midwest Water Supplies at risk. Everyone wants wear here. Russias stateowned oil giant, exxon will provide 3 billion financingo develop Horizontal Oil well drilling in western siberia. Commercial development is expected to begin by 2013. Turning to jobs. Some positive news as we heard the Unemployment Rate fell to 7. 7 . That is good and a step in the right direction. But not everything is rosy. The economy added 146,000 jobs. Lets face it that is not good enough. That is the first topic for todays money power panel. Economist peter morici, you know him. We love him. Fox news contributor jonathan hoenig, we love him. Catalist pig. Com. We cant leave out ian shepherd at pantheon econic advisors as well. Thanks to you guys for joining us. Peter, let me start with you, what is your reaction to todays jobs number . It is kind of pathetic we get really excited at 150,000 jobs. At this rate it wi take us nine years to get back to where we were before the recession. One of the big factors with the falling Unemployment Ratee, more people sat down. Depending which number, 350 to 550,000 people chose not to look for work or in addition to more. And in addition, about 50,000 jobs were in retail sales. A lot of those jobs are part time. Thats one of the big stories of this recovery of thso many people are getting pushed into parttime work. If you put together the discouraged workers and parttimers the Unemployment Rate is over 14 . Melissa yeah, absolutely. That a great point. Ian, were looking 22. 3 Million People part of the u6 number we talk about. Those are the people unemployed or working part time and really need to be working more in order to make ends meet. Its not great. No, its not great. At the rate were going those people will still be looking for jobs in years to come. That is tragic. People forget skills. Forgetting how to get to work in the morning. It is tragic. Well have half a generation out of work for many, many years. Melissa jonathan, go ahead. It doesnt have to be like that melissa. In a free economy there is unlimited amnt of jobs can be created. Unlimited amount of alth. Unfortunately we have anything about a free economy. That is why the recovery if you want to call it back is so let that aric. Doesnt compare to 74, 92 or 81. Melissa other recessions we bounced back, with 200, 300,000 jobs a month. We haventeen that so far. I feel like were not goin to. I think this is the new normal. What is the main thing you think holding us back . The lack of economic freedom. What does that mean . Put yourself in the position of someone able to hire a f fulltime worker. They know their costs are going up. They know their taxes are going up. They know regulatory expenses are going up and they know if they do make money that will be taxed at a higher rate. A lot of employers are shrugging their shoulders and saying why take the risk. Melissa peter do you agree with that. Yeah. It is the barack obama efct. Only 150,000 a month the man is obsessed what did he say last week campaign, voting is the best revenge. Now he is about to take it out on the one or 2 . That is all his focus. He is going around the country, hurricane sandy, rebuilding needs to be done. He is not paying attention to that and certainly not paying attention to jobs creation. Instead he is on this vendetta. Melissa ian, at the same time you see companies out there, theyre doing what they need to do. We saw ibm for example saying that when it comes to their 401 kk instead of contributing every other pay period the way they have before they will wait until the very end of the year and do their matching then. Almost an accounting trick. Not really a trick. A way to do it differently they save a lot of money. They hang onto theoney for entire year and earn interest on it. God forbid youeave the company and never see the money. For workers you dont earn on money all year long. Not in your 401 k growing. These are the kinds of things well see companies doing to adapt to this new normal. If ibm gets away with it im sure they will. They are a benchmark. If they successfully push it through, the company that didnt fail, didnt have a crisis during the crash well see other Big Companies following suit. One of the problems we have there is not much Income Growth from the consumer. Taking money away to my mind y be good for ibm at micro level but macro level not what we need. We need more cash in the consumers pockets. Melissa that is absolutely true, jonathan. Companies have tdo, now theyre backed in this corner. They cant speak out against washington because they get punished for that. They have the Health Care Costs coming down. Everyones taxes are going up. They have to nd ways to make ends meet. I think the fact that ibm is even still matching at all and didnt do away with the whole program is amazing. Kudos to ibm heres a company not only is the stock doing well they pay contribute, 10 of an employees income to retirement fund. That is called being aood employer. You know what . Employment is like that. Has to be mutually beneficial. Good for the employer and good for the employee. Jim is the best example when companies let compensation costs get out of hand. Theyre keepin their books in order. I wish washingn could do the same thing. Melissa lets keep wishing for that. Stick around. We have much more with the power panel. Could the platinum coin, there it is, the platinum coin in jonathans hand be the solution to our debt woes . It sound insane. Alchemy. Melissa could be worth a trillion dollars. It is getting real traction. That is not crazy. Is thi what it is coming too . Our panel reacts. At the end of the day it is all about, well, platinum i guess. [ thunder crashes ] [ female announcer ] some people like to pretend a flood could never happ to them. And that their Homeowners Insurance protects them. [ thunder crashes ] it doesnt. Stop pretending. Only Flood Insurance covers floods. Visit floodsmart. Gov pretend learn your risk. Melissa so we have breaking news right now on Chinese Energy giant cnooc acquisition. Robert gray has the details. Canadian giving green light for cnooc in the 15. 1 billion deal to take over next send. That cnooc would be allowed to do it. It needs u. S. And u. K. Government approval as well. Because they have nexen has significant assets in both nations. They also at the same time, canada approving a 5. 25 billion deal proposed by Malaysia Petroleum in bid for progress energy. Canada selling off assets to two stateowned entities. Cnooc deal liable to get a little bit of attention here as well im sure, melissa. Melissa very much so. Robert, thanks so much. Moving on we picked up on an interesting idea to solve the debt crisis. Here it is. Have the government mint two platinum coins and assign them a value of trillion dollars each. Deposit the coins directly into the Federal Reserve, boom like magic were 2 trillion away from hitting debt ceiling. Under the current law this is perfectly legal. Our money power panel is back to discuss economist peter morici. Jonathan hoenig from capitalist pig. Com and ian shepherd son from pantheon macro advisors. Guys, what do you think . This is serious idea out there being float the around. We have the peterson institute, theyre a bunch of serious folks out there saying i like it. There is nothing obviously economic problematic bit. What do you think . Peter, i let you go first. Im surprised. There is a lot that problematic. It is equivalent of printing money. Melissa right. Essentially thats all it is. Basically make a coin. Hand it to the Federal Reserve and turns around and put as trillion dollars in your bank account which you stt spending. A way around the debt ceiling problem. It gives barack obama the right to print money to spend as much as he wants to. Melissa there is one catch, ian. One point they make were not printing it to spend money. We already spent this mon. Its gone. So were just sort of fixing part of the debt problem. You could make 3 trillion coins which is why it wont happen. The reason it wont happen is politics. If they do this and get away from the debt ceiling thing it gets republicans off the hook. From obamas perspective leting a deal not hpen and falling over the cliff, all the polls show republicans will get blamed for that. Why would he want to avoid that . Melissa jonathan, are there obvious inflationary problems on this . Someone followi us on twitter says you will need it to buy a loaf of bread soon. What do you think . This is one ounce platinum coin. You can put any value that i want but has real value of 1600 a ounce. If they think this plan works you have to be in the chain gang or belief in the tooth fairy. It is delusional on its face. Reality exists. It cant be conned. Ashe panel points out this is explicit inflationary you would ne 1. 2 billion actual platinum coins to make 2 trillion dollars in wealth. Cant happen. Melissa we did a little math. If you were trying to do it the real way you would need 78 Million Pounds of raw platinum in order to get this done. What else weighs 78 Million Pounds . Lets take a look. 7800 african elephants or 15,600 for f150 picps. We could have 312 million quarterpounders with cheese. They would also add up to about the same weight. Were really saying obviously that is tru weight. It is fiat money. Like dollars. That is the real idea. That you have two coinsout the, boom, were backing this. Kind of, i thhnk the point, from an intellectual point of view its not that different from all the other hijinks that were puing right now. We print money. Were putting out debt. I mean you have the treasury putting out debt. Federal reserve buying it back and forth. Were ing so many tricks and gimmicks anyway. What is the difference between what were doing and this . This is tremendous scale and political maneuver. Wouldnt be Economic Policy objective but a political stunt. Hats off to the guys that say it is legal b it wont work. Meliss go along with me. That is even mo delusional. A dollar bill is piece of paper with number on it. This actually has a value. 1600 an ounce. Now its a trillion. Now its five trillion. It is completely delusional. The bas, notion of what money is, it is inflationary. It wrecks the economy in the process. Melissa peter, it is delusional but so is Everything Else were doing right now. I think thats my point the whole notion of the debt ceiling and raising it and owing, spending our childrens money, everything were doing is insane rig now. Oh i agree with that. Its a way around the debt ceiling problem. Instead of printing bonds, you create this coin so you dont have to get t debt iling raised. The debt ceiling is one last point of restraint we have in the system. It causes us to focus. This is like a monopoly token. The coin might as well be a checkers piece. Exactly. Melissa guys, weve got to go. Thanks to all of you. You are fantastic. You have to come back and be our power panel again. Take care. Melissa all right. Here is the question of the day. Would two platinum coins soe all o debt problems . We want to hear what you think. Like us at facebook. Co facebook. Com melissafrancisfox. Or follow me on twitter, melissaafrancis. I loved your responses. I read them all. Coming up, i love new york and i love my plastic bags but my favorite chicago alderman wants to take them aw from me. He is pushing to get them out right banned in the windy city. I ho mayor bloomberg isot listeng. He said it time to end the war on plastic bags. Do you have too much money or plastic bags frankly. Melissa so you know the question. Paper or plastic . Well my next guest doesnt want to heart anymore. He wants to completely ban plastic bags throughout chicago for all businesses larger than 5000 square feet. I think there is a need for plastic bags. Paper bags just as bad anyway. My favorite chicago auld sister man joe marino is here to disagree with me. Thanks for coming back on the show. Thanks, melissa for having me. Melissa what is your beef with plasticags . Not my beef. Other countries and other states. It is economic and environmtal issue. We use 3 billion with a b, melissa, in the city of chicago. Every time we clean out a sewer and every time we clean a park and ery time we clean streets we pull the plastic bags out of the sewers and off the trees. They cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars a year. That is bet ware i. There is better way we have affordable, composeable bags that look and feel like placic, made of greener sources not Petroleum Based sources overseas and saudi arabia. There is bet way to do this. Other municipalities that have done this have great result. Break down some of the points. 85 to 90 of the bags are not recycled according to the wall street journal. So were, paper bags, were not saying that paper bags are option. Best as you know bring your own bags. Th have value. We already have stores that do this. Melissa you have to ban plastic bags in order to get that done. Why donyou provide incentive. Give them a discount. We tried to do that in 07. I was not on the council. We tried to recycle bags. It has gone nowhere. They have tried to stop this legislation, friendin the Petroleum Industry five or six years ago. They did stop it. They did stop it. And nothingchanged in five orsix years. The bags are not getting recycled. Nothing is changed. In fact it has gotten worse. Let me give you examples of companies doing quite well without these. Costco. Whol foods. Alde. Trader joes. They dont use the bags and theyre fine economically. Melissa whether they pass the cost on to their customers and customer knows it and is fine witit the hang on. Because they have wealthy customers who can afford it. But paper bags cost 10 cents per ba plastic bags cost two to three cents. Fa you familiar with alde . Are you familiar with the alde chain . Melissa im not. That Food Consortium has very lowpriced, theyre goods are very lowpriced. They cater to a middle to lower income families. So it is not just whole foods. It is also alde and also costco. Melissa they are more expensive. They have to absorb the cost or pass it onto the consumer. I was saying if you want people to not use that is not right. Melissa it is absolutely right. Margins for a business that is very cheap. If a costco did you look at study i sent you. Melissa hang on. Yes i did. If cost goes up you have to absorb the cost or pass it on to consumers. Monedoesnt come out of thin air. First of all the study i sent you were getting municipalities in california where their costs have not gone up in the stores where they put these in. That is fallacy. Melissa that is impossible. It costs more money. It costs more money to make a paper bag. So the money doesnt come out of thin air. Let me ask you this too you talked about composeable, i hope im saying that right, bags. Yeah. Melissa they only work i you have a place to do compost. And not everyone has that. How will you dealwith that problem . That is another cost. Anything that can compost, whether paper orwhat not has to be compostable. That is education we have to have. Dig out a phone book from the 70s hasnt been turned not compostable of anything, paper or otherwise has to be. Youre using an argument that people used against styrofoam, big mac and whopper containers. It will cost more money. It wl put the guys out of business. They were all over your streets it back in the early 80s and 90s those coanies have done very well. I know you put up the bag and say, you hold up the bag and say you love the bag. Someone doing that with styrofoam containers 15 or 20 years ago melissa hang on i have to get a few words in here too. This is disagree with me. Goahead. Melissa takes 91 more energy to recycle paper bag than plastic bag. I worry about that. So much easier to recycle bags. Every store i go into the new york, when you walk to the front door to your left a full container has bags when people brought back. When i bring back a plalastic back i use it deat i dont buy bags for trash bins in my house. I use this. Not like people take them and throw them away. Gohead, respond. Use actual statistics and some facts instead of intuitive ideas. Melissa no, that is fact. 91 . The facts of this are of plastic bags out there less one in 10 are put into the resentable you talk about. Less than 10 . The of the 10 put in there, one in four are actually recycled. You know why . Because they havto be single stream. For instance, in chicago we have blue bin recycling. Throw all the recycling in there. Sorted and recycled. Plastic bags dont go in there they can not be thrown in general recycling. 1. 2 Million Pounds of plastic bags were recycled last year. Were out of time. You made a great case. You are a fantastic opponent. Alderman moreno, come back again. Anytime, melissa. Melissa when we have a lot more ammo. Lets do it. Im ready. Melissa breaking through military barricades around egypt. And theres word that a crucial vote on egypts constitution could be delayed. Weve got the latest. Greeces debt crisis turns its hospitals into virtual ses pools. How it is spawning Health Disaster that could reach far beyond its borders. Piles of money coming up. Melissa now onto the middle east. The pressure not letting up for egyptian predent mohammed morsi. Reports say he is ready to postpone the scheduled vote on the new constitution which would cement his sweeping powers. Earlier today protesters broke through the barriers around the president ial palace. Police fired tear gas at a crowd of almost 1000 people out seed cairo tv studios. We have a fox news contributor, specializing in middleeast counterterrorism affairs. Lisa, it looks like things are getting more out of control all the time. People keep saying ts is going to calm down. What is your, what is your take on it . Well, as long as mois factions, the Muslim Brotherhood will remain steadfast in a power grab d maintaining their agenda, the people, opposition saying this is not what we fought for the company will remain in perpetual revolutionary mode. There is no way arou it. Morsi will have to make concessions and even when he does it might be too hail too late as far as the people are concerned here. Melissa everybody keeps talking about as well the. 6 billion in foreign aid the. S. Continues to send to egypt that were on the hook for. And withdrawing it. I wonder if that makes the situation, if it alienates us further from the situation if we withdraw that money. We have all eyes on the ground right now in egypt to see how things unfold and u. S. Has every interest in seeing how things unfold. Look, the bottom line is we could have our enemies and people who undermined us do that for free. We dont need to be paying them to do that. We saw morsi helping iranian factions get the weapons through the Sinai Peninsula into gaza. That cant happen. We cant have our pivotal ally in the middle east behaving this way and receiving the 1. 6 billion in aid as well. Melissa why do you feel this region is so meaningful to us and egypt especially . Why should we stay in the game . Seems no matter what we do we dont have a lot of influence and were no wellliked in this area. Whether we give money or not were having a hard time having an impact . We are having a very hard time having an impact. The money helps us have a certain amount of influence, whether that be inhe next chapter where egypt is heading politically, nationbuilding and, being actually on the ground and helping and, sending lawyers and comnity organizers and peoplele there who can actually have a exact input there. The money helps as well. When Hillary Clinton had moi broker the deal between hamas and, between hamas and israelis it was basically saying look you ha to play big brother here. You get all the allowance money. Now you have to help out and were watching yo melissa on the ground in egypt what kind of influence can we really have . They cash a check we send but beyond that what other kind of help can we give . Im not sure wer welcome. Were not welcome, this regime, the morsi regime, Muslim Brotherhood compare it to the Iranian Regime 30 years ago. One of the platforms is creating antiwestern propaganda within the country. That has been one of the things that happened helped them go forward. You have the presence of many different factions within egyptian society. Thats what we need to cash in on. Not in terms of finances but in terms of support. Exactly what we should be doing in iran. We take more secular factions, people came to tahrir square, women, children, people being marginalized by the Muslim Brotherhood saying we support you. We want you to have a say in the future of egypt as a nation and were going to help you. That is who we should be reaching out to. That is where the money should be spent on these more democratic and i hate to use that word in the sense of middle east becau for every country it means a different thing but to have a say what happens in the next chapter. Melissa lisa, that is an interesting point. Thanks so much for coming on. Myleasure. Melissa coming up a completely unexpected outcome of the greek debt crisis. Their economic problems literally hitting the health of the country, putting its hospitals in ce red but just wait until you hear how. These are really stunning details coming up. At the end of the day it is all about money. Melissa some shocking news out of greece now. Uninnded consequence of its 2 dal billion euro Health Care Debt is making it nearly impossible for hospitals touy basic supplies like gloves, syringes, letalone crucial medications. On top of that massive layoffs mean fewer doctors and nurses are treating more patients. The severe lack of medical supplies is making much more easy for disease to spread especially from a country whose main industry is tourism. We have lee vinokur from Louisiana University shreveport. Thanks for joining us. My pleasure. Melissa how serious of a problem is this . It is a true greek tragedy because the greeks were somewhat responsible. At one point their Health Care System covered evybody for everything, the most expensive medicines. It was 10 of their gdp. And then the imf put them on strict austerity. They had a huge debt. They were borrowing a lot to cover medications and such. And the austerity budget really cut back to the point where kids ant getting vaccinated now. There is no vaccinations. The pharmaceutical Companies Wont issue them medications anymore because of the credit and debt that they owe. And if you think its just greece, i mean the european community, the continent is small. When youre talking about communicable diseas it c be a issue for everyone. Talk about shots and vaccinations, heard effect, most people getting it keeps the disease at bay. Now you see resurgence of things in greece we havent seen for a while. They talk about basic sanitation. People not wearing rubber gloves or reusing them. It sound very seous and yucky. No. Its true. I mean they dont, they cant get the new supplies. So thats an issue. I mean there are, you know, some people are trying to donate medicines that they dont use back. You hear about a woman looking for insulin for her 3yearold child. Melissa wow. It is a tragedy but, and its a serious tragedy. I understan that th have to cut back. There is a debt issue and an austerity budget and they were lax in the beginning but of all the things they should be it should be their health care theyre focusing on the most melissa yeah. European community should ow thattoo because resistant bacteria that are getting out of greece, you know, epidemics of measles andiptheria affect everyone. Melissa that only cure for what is going on in greece is growthe economy. The best way to grow the economy, best resources are tourism. It is a wonderful place to visit. If people hear about this and are afraid to go because it is filthy or diseaseridden it will hurt only real asset thee have at this point. No, youre absolutely right, melis. The creditors have to cut them a little slack with regard to some of these things. Pharmaceutical companies will g rid of medications when they are a couple days past their expiration date. Maybe it us is time to think about that and generic drugs and things like that but its a real issue and it doesnt just affect greece. We all ve to think about that. Melissa lee, thanks for coming on. We appreciate it. My pleasure. Thanks for having me. Melissa got the sniffles . Kleenex will not make you any better. You know what could . Take a look at this. Slamming back a whole whole bunch of these. New Research Says beer may be the cure for that winter cold. Thank you, science. Were going to explain why coming up. You can never have too much beer. Oh, you made a mess. I cant believe it. I cant believe it. Melissa ware joined by persal finance expert and our very own david asman. Personal expert. Thats who i am. Melissa the amazing christian says he can work hisagic to fix the fiscal cliff. Thats right. All he needs is an hour and a room with both president obama and the house speaker. Basically he would play a denim and check on them. He says if he can bri them to the right state of mind and thugh mental suggestion and mental conditioning that will start compromising. Its a trick of like to see. I love someone its unmanly kind of love, but i love this guy the three and a half and on my show of force years ago, and he predicted the super bo victories. Unwilling. Melissa before the game . Before the game. He lost something up in my room and did not give in hawaiian. A ticket home with me. He predicted it. However embarrassing a think hes met hisatch year. To vote folks inside the beltway dont think logically. Thats what i dont think itll work. I said bring the men. Given the track. Bring the man. They can actually find that compromise. Of love to see him in there and now he would make sense. Melissa one that at a magician. We already have clouds in the next. Beer is one of our listings. The whale carcass is running near Celebrity Homes in malibu. 40,000pound whale carcass causing a gigantic cleanup problem. It is entrenched in the sand making it impossible to tell. The whalers on a private beach. The city doesnt know who will clean it up. Everyones fighting over who is responsibl is that shocking . Its a private beach and been. I understand why they cant do certain things with the will, but i dont understand why they cant chop up in a small piece and dispose of it. Again all that. Its sitting on a private beach. By. The responsibility lies with the private owners. Not everything is the responsibility of the government. Not everything is the responsibility of the wildlife foundation. When its on their beach. Is their responsibility. I would think there would be highly motivated to move this thing. This is not smell of vision. I have feelings. But had not think it will be allowed to. So many different organizatns and vernment agencies are involved that if thhey touch the think in a get arrested. A new. Melissa that would be lassic. Moving on to a lab near st. Louis is missing 700,000 in gold dust. It was purchased last year for research. No one is even sure if it was somehow misplaced or actually stolen. What you the story where somebody was knocking down a buiding in the open the ball and behind the wall were all these jars of coal dust. Gold dust. In the wall space there were these jars of coal dust. And just thinking. I dont know. I dont want to get anybody in trouble. Melis what you think they use it for . Thats the big mystery for me not a mystery weather was still in a loss. It was probably stolen. In south africa they have a train called the blue train which is the most expensive train ride you can get in the entire world. The glasses are tented with cold thats so expensive. Melissa you been on the strength . I read about it. I would be running so fast. Melissa good news for beer drinkers everywhere. This is why david is hammered right now. An ingredient in beer cause cold like symptoms and even serious ammonia. The downside is you have to drink about 30 years to get the virus binding effect. The downside, you say . The downside the drinking 30 years. I could not set 30 years in my stomach. I like all the health benefits. Its good for you, your heart, blood clots. Melissa its good for everything. Work on kid. Of thing so. Bubble we going to breathe law right now. If chardonnet its ot real beer. Apple juice the little hat on a. My wife had me on this warm cake. That i love your. Every since the ban on 1i reay havent. Melissa before we head into the weekend a few thoughts about senior saving billions of prescription drugs. I saw a headline earlier this week to assess seniors that save 5 billion because of the Medicare Prescription Drug program. Demi thinking, well, if senio save 5 billion, whre those savings come from . To thats a lot of money. I checked with major pharmautical Company Financial statements and most of them had seen steadily increasing revenues of the last four years. So they werent short of the 5 billion. Even though they say theyre discounting pscription drugs for medicare, it doesnt appear it is negative impact of their revenue. So does it mean the Drug Companies made up by charging youuand me more for o prescriptions . I dont knowhe answer because i suspect
