Shutdown Looming
The government is on track to shut down next week because Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on the budget. Which party will blink first? Plus, Senator Chuck Schumer was caught on tape detailing his plan to play politics during the budget debate. Will his strategy to label GOP demands “extreme” be successful? Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume joins Tom.
Obama’s Energy Blueprint
President Obama said we need to drastically cut our dependence on oil imports. Tom questions whether Obama’s plan will focus more on domestic energy production, or on pushing “green” cars and light bulbs down our throats. Also, Obama wants to give those who buy green cars an instant $7,500 rebate! Will this plan end up being the sequel to “Cash for Clunkers”?
“Tax the Rich”
State and local tax revenue reportedly spiked sharply this year, but that doesn’t mean struggling cities and states are out of the woods! Tom explains why local governments are still facing major economic problems. PLUS: Why are states like California and New York in so much economic trouble? Some say their longtime dependence on taxing the wealthy just doesn’t work in this economy. Tom explains why the “tax the rich” solution is not a solution at all.
I'm sure that this subject has been discussed on your show, however
I have yet to hear it.
If International waters begin at 15 miles, how does the US Fed government dictate to oil co's what they can or cannot do at that distance or beyond?
You have the most diverse show on the air, keep it up.

You can't drill till you can show you can stop a oil spill, someone needs to tell the President no more money till you balance a budget.
