biden pushing back without this snowballing it actually hurting him? i don t know if he has found it or if any democrat has figured out the sweet spot in these situations. we saw the clinton campaign struggle with that. this is not something that is unexpected, particular formal joe biden but for democrats in general that something like this would happen where trump would find a falsehood to try to promulgate here. it s how you combat it. because to julie s point, they re not going to do the equivalent during a lie at him. but there is a huge risk. what s joe biden going to do, give an hour-long speech point by point debunking what his son did? that only gives more oxygen to it as well. i think a big piece of this which democrats are still figuring out is the social media aspect. republicans are increasingly, and there have been evidence of other republican firms putting out misinformation, putting out falsehoods across social media, across platforms, and it s
julie. thanks to both of you. you were next, history saying sett s sell your stocks in may. but we have the stocks you should buy right now. woman: everyone in the nicu all the nurses wanted to watch him when he was there 118 days. everything that you thought was important to you changes in light of having a child that needs you every moment. i wouldn t trade him for the world. who matters most to you says the most about you.
are you saying you can t get people s names and addresses that make more than a hundred grand a year? there is no data base for this? i deal with wall street guys all the time and that s all they do is call. i can get any name, any number, any data base, but there are rules in my industry that you cannot call people that are on this no call list. right. you re not going to go to jail for it. but it s still out there. ben, this week we had a lot of union workers saying let s boycott staples because of the deal with the post office. listen, i know the unions are in dire straits but it feels like all of these things back fired. you know, why would you boycott staples? why would you want to knock down something that could actually bolster the post office and make it more relevant? because the unions as you say are desperate and not thinking clearly and as to julie s idea that somehow unionization is going to help the middle class, it helps the people in the union but then the p
sacrifice, and toil. they just do with it what they want. this is a small microcosm of a huge problem. government is their own place. they don t care. it s not their money. it s an endless amount of bucks coming from the taxpayer. 15 years ago, the government spending was 1.8 trillion. it is going to be near 4 this year. there s so much sloshing around, what do they care? they have nobody to answer to, no accountants, nobody looking over them. so you get what you get. we get to talk about it. julie, you know, we have huge trust issues in this country. stuff like this just doesn t help. i think ben just talked about ten felonies on air. forget the irs. i think the fbi is coming for ben. i m with you. it s a bigger issue than just irs bonuses. when are bonuses ex-pecked? aren t bonuses for jobs well done? there is this culture now that it s part of your salary. it is actually for people
that work for for profit companies that return money to the share holders. i m with you. this is a bigger problem. i m with you. there is no merit. it s irs by the way. 2/3 of the employees at the irs got bonuses in fiscal 2012. 2/3 of them. whoever heard of working for the government and getting a bonus? here s the thing. when the president of the united states goes out and says you didn t build that bridge, we built the bridge. think about the way this country is changing fundamentally. we re in a situation right now where government controls everything. where the government controls your money. where the people that work for the government think you work for them. well, i think that does turn the idea of public servant on its head. julie, back to you. are you actually saying then that people in government shouldn t even be able to earn bonuses? government workers? again, i don t even know what s going on today, but i side with charlie on this one. yeah. i don t eve
