Sen.
Bernie Sanders is skimming over the facts in claiming that his
“Medicare for all” plan will lead to big reductions in what Americans
spend for health care.
In a recent tweet, the Vermont independent insists the plan will cut $2 trillion from the nation’s health care bill.
But that’s based on a scenario in which hospitals and doctors accept
significantly lower payments for many patients. It’s a big asterisk, and
one that Sanders fails to disclose.
A look at the claim:
SANDERS: “Medicare for All will lead to a $2 TRILLION REDUCTION in
national health expenditures over 10 years.”
THE FACTS: Sanders’ vision of El Dorado in his tweet and a YouTube
video is being widely echoed by supporters of a government-run national
health system. But Sanders mischaracterizes a study from a libertarian
policy institute that found his legislation would actually lead to a
massive boost in federal spending and taxation.
The study from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in
Virginia also concluded that “Medicare for all” is unlikely to produce a
dividend for U.S. society in the form of lower total health care
spending. To get that result would require paying hospitals and doctors
much less than they get now and risk putting some out of business.
The study found that if hospitals and doctors were willing to accept
Medicare-based payments of 40 percent less for patients who currently
have private insurance, then projected U.S. health care spending would
decline by about 3 percent from 2022 to 2031, or $2.05 trillion.
That’s the number Sanders is celebrating.
But the study also said if medical providers continue to be paid
about the same as now, U.S. health care spending would increase by $3.25
trillion over 10 years under “Medicare for all.” It works out to about 5
percent more.
That’s far different from Sanders’ assurance that his plan “will lead” to huge spending reductions.
The study concludes it’s unlikely.
“More generous health care insurance would be provided to everyone at
the expense of health care providers,” it said. “Whether providers could
sustain such losses and remain in operation, and how those who continue
operations would adapt to such dramatic payment reductions, are
critically important questions.”
The List Of CNN’s Bungled Reporting Is A Sight To Behold
Amber Athey | Media and Breaking News Editor
Despite
CNN’s assertion this week that it “does not lie,” the network has an
extensive history of bungled reporting — some of which has gone
uncorrected.
President Donald Trump called out CNN for its
questionable report on his son’s 2016 Trump Tower meeting with the
Russians, insisting that “CNN is being torn apart from within based on
their being caught in a major lie and refusing to admit the mistake.”
“Make
no mistake, Mr. President, CNN does not lie,” the network responded.
“We report the news. And we report when people in power tell lies. CNN
stands by our reporting and our reporters.”
While
CNN is standing by its July 27 report claiming Michael Cohen was
prepared to tell special counsel Robert Mueller that Trump knew about
the Trump Tower meeting in advance, a number of factors have called
their reporting into question. (RELATED: CNN’s Quadruple Down On Dubious Trump Tower Story Leaves Out Key Details)
Unfortunately for CNN, the Trump Tower story isn’t their first fling with dubious or just flat-out wrong reporting.
The following list details 20 additional stories that CNN has bungled following the rise of Trump.
1. Scaramucci Slip
CNN
retracted a story in June of 2016 claiming that former Trump adviser
Anthony Scaramucci was under investigation by Congress for his alleged
ties to Russia. (RELATED: CNN Retracts Story About Trump Adviser Being Under Investigation)
The
story relied on one anonymous congressional source and CNN apologized
to Scaramucci for the error. Three CNN reporters ended up resigning from the company over the botched report.
2. Trump Jr. Collusion
CNN
reported in December of 2017 that Donald Trump Jr. received special
access to documents stolen by WikiLeaks on Sept. 4, 2016. However,
Donald Trump Jr. actually was emailed about the documents on Sept. 14,
2016 — a day after they were already available to the general public. (RELATED: CNN Botches Major ‘Bombshell’ Alleging Contacts Between Don Jr. And WikiLeaks)
CNN updated the report but still has not explained how two sources managed to give them the wrong date on the email.
3. 17 Intel Agencies Lie
Former
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said during a
congressional hearing in May that three intelligence agencies — the CIA,
NSA and the FBI — concluded that Russia interfered with the 2016
election.
Nonetheless, CNN has repeatedly claimed that all 17 intelligence agencies
came to the same conclusion about Russian meddling. CNN’s claim is pure
nonsense, as the Department of Energy, Department of the Treasury, and
Drug Enforcement Agency, among others, would have no authority to make
any assertions about Russian meddling in elections.
4. Comey Testimony Crumbles
On
June 6, 2017, CNN reported that former FBI director James Comey would
contradict President Donald Trump’s claim that he was not under
investigation.
When the time came for Comey to release his
opening statement for his congressional testimony, he actually ended up
confirming Trump’s account. (RELATED: Comey Confirms: Trump Wasn’t Under FBI Investigation)
“This
article was published before Comey released his prepared opening
statement. The article and headline have been corrected to reflect that
Comey does not directly dispute that Trump was told multiple times he
was not under investigation in his prepared testimony released after
this story was published,” CNN corrected.
5. Trump’s Fish Food
When
President Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last
November, the pair took part in a koi fish feeding ceremony. A video
posted by CNN appeared to show Trump dumping his entire box of food into the koi pond unprompted. (RELATED: Journalists Slam Trump For Copying Fish Food Dump)
An unedited video revealed that Trump was simply following the lead of Abe, who emptied his box of food first.
6. A Clean Bill Of Health
In May of 2017 when Republicans were authoring a new health care bill, CNN claimed that GOP changes to Obamacare could make rape and sexual assault pre-existing conditions. PolitiFact
rated that claim “mostly false,” explaining that “the bill does not
change what is or is not a pre-existing condition; the health insurance
companies write those definitions for themselves.”
7. Officer Cuomo
CNN
anchor Chris Cuomo inexplicably said in October of 2016 that possessing
WikiLeaks stolen documents is “illegal,” but insisted it’s “different
for the media.”
“Also interesting is, remember, it’s illegal to
possess these stolen documents. It’s different for the media. So
everything you learn about this, you’re learning from us,” Cuomo said.
According to The Washington Post, it is not illegal to possess or distribute illegally obtained material so long as you were not involved in the original hack.
8. Just Tap It In
CNN
originally denounced Trump’s claim in March of 2017 that former
President Barack Obama was wiretapping phones in Trump Tower as a “flat-out lie.”
Then,
in September of 2017, CNN reported that the FBI had a wiretap on former
campaign chairman Paul Manafort — who has a residence in Trump Tower.
While
it is unclear if the FBI tapped Manafort’s phones in Trump Tower or
picked up his conversations with the president, it’s plausible enough
that CNN should not be dismissing Trump’s claims out of hand. (RELATED: CNN Reporter: Trump’s Wiretap Tweets Still Not Plausible)
9. Zeleny’s Folly
CNN
reporter Jeff Zeleny tweeted on July 31, 2018, that President Trump had
not taken questions from reporters in at least a week.
Just one day prior to Zeleny’s tweet, Trump answered questions during a joint news conference with the Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
10. Republicans Did (NOT) Fund The Dossier
The
salacious and unverified Steele dossier was paid for by the Democratic
National Committee and the Clinton campaign, but that hasn’t stopped CNN
from pinning the document on the GOP. (RELATED: Media Still Pinning Dossier On Republicans)
Former
Obama official and current CNN reporter Jim Sciutto was just one
network talking-head who claimed the dossier was “initially paid for by
Republicans.”
While Republicans bought standard opposition
research from Fusion GPS, they stopped paying the firm well before it
ever contracted with Christopher Steele to compile the anti-Trump
dossier.
11. If You Build It, They Will Lie
CNN claimed
that only Democratic members of Congress gathered to pray before the
2017 Congressional Baseball Game — the first game after House Majority
Whip Steve Scalise was shot and nearly killed. (RELATED: CNN Incorrectly States Only Dems Prayed At Congressional Baseball Game)
Pictures
of the prayer circle clearly show both Democrats and Republicans
praying together, and CNN eventually deleted their tweet claiming
otherwise.
12. CNN Gets Hit With A Cruz Missile
After
the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, CNN media reporter Brian
Stelter accused Republican congressmen of being “scared” to come on the
network to debate gun control. Anchor Chris Cuomo specifically called
out Texas Senator Ted Cruz for not rising to the challenge.
As it
turns out, Sen. Cruz had done a 15 minute interview with CNN earlier
that day. He blasted the network for airing “NONE” of his interview and
noted that he had previously done three town hall debates on CNN with
Senator Bernie Sanders. (RELATED: Ted Cruz Did A 15 Minute Interview With CNN — They Aired None Of It, Then Attacked Him For Not Coming On Air)
13. Silly Stelter!
CNN media reporter Brian Stelter accused the Republican National Committee of “misquoting” him in an ad attacking the credibility of Michael Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury.”
“Real factual errors … makes you wonder about the overall content,” Stelter was quoted as saying.
Stelter did utter those words during a CNN International television hit and quickly deleted his accusatory tweet.
“I stand corrected: I thought this RNC ad misquoted me, but the quote came from a @CNNI TV hit,” Stelter admitted.
14. These Boots Were Made For Correctin’
Nancy
Sinatra made a quick joke about her late father’s song, “My Way,” being
used at Trump’s Inauguration in January 2017. She tweeted in response
to the news to “just remember the first line of the song” — which is,
“And now, the end is near.”
CNN spun Sinatra’s tweet into an article claiming she was “not happy” about Trump using her father’s song at the Inauguration.
“That’s not true. I never said that. Why do you lie, CNN?” Sinatra asserted. “What a rotten spin to put on a harmless joke.”
15. School Shooting Slip-Up
After
a May shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas, CNN reporters
immediately began claiming that there were 22 school shootings on the
year. (RELATED: CNN Re-Ups False 22 School Shootings Stat)
However,
CNN wildly exaggerates the number of school shootings by using
methodology that includes accidental firearm discharges on school
property, domestic disputes, and other non-active shooter events.
For example, one listed shooting at Savannah State University in Georgia involved just two people, neither of whom were students.
16. Where’s Melania?
Multiple
CNN reporters speculated about the whereabouts of Melania Trump after a
scheduled kidney surgery and then denied responsibility for any
conspiracy theories about the first lady. (RELATED: CNN Reporters Shirk Responsibility For Melania Conspiracies)
Media
reporter Brian Stelter led his “Reliable Sources” newsletter on June
3rd with the headline “Melania M.I.A,” and insisted the first lady’s
whereabouts were a “mystery” because she had not been seen in public
since May 10.
While Stelter blamed random internet commenters for
specific conspiracy theories about plastic surgery or a move back to
NYC, CNN repeated such theories in an article and even asked Melania’s spokesperson to comment on them.
17. Fake News About Fake News
CNN
cited a study from the Oxford Internet Institute to claim that fake
news targeted swing states during the 2016 presidential election.
However, as The Daily Caller first reported, the study says nothing of the sort. (RELATED: Mainstream Media Reporting About Twitter ‘Fake News’ Is 100% False)
The
researchers in the study were talking about “junk news,” not “fake
news” — and their definition of junk news includes mainstream
conservative sites like The Washington Examiner and Breitbart News. A
deep dive into the study thus reveals that Twitter users didn’t receive
nearly as much “fake news” as CNN initially claimed to readers.
18. Trump (Not) Ignorant About Japanese Cars
CNN
Money’s Daniel Shane accused President Trump of not knowing that Japan
makes cars in the United States, writing, “Trump asks Japan to build
cars in the U.S. It already does.”
During the president’s
November visit to Japan, he told Japan Inc, “Try building your cars in
the United States instead of shipping them over. Is that possible to
ask?”
However, when reading his full remarks — which Shane left
out — it is clear that the president was making a joke and knows that
Japanese manufacturers make cars in the U.S. (RELATED: CNN Spreads Two Fake Narratives During Trump Visit To Japan)
Shane ended up issuing a correction on his article.
19. Hands Up, Fake News
A CNN panel consisting of Margaret Hoover, Sally Kohn, Sunny Hostin and Mel Robbins displayed the “hands up, don’t shoot” gesture in 2014 while talking about marches against police violence.
The gesture seemed to be a reference to the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
While initial reports speculated that Brown had his hands up when he was shot by Darren Wilson, the DOJ concluded in a report in 2015 that physical and forensic evidence showed Brown’s hands could not have been above his waist.
20. Peace Be With You
CNN
deceptively edited a video of Sherelle Smith and Kimberly Neal, the
sisters of an unarmed black man who was shot by police. The network
claimed the two sisters were “calling for peace” amidst riots in their
neighborhood.
“Don’t bring that violence here,’ [Kimberly] Neal, his other sister, said while sobbing,” CNN’s report said.
However,
in a longer video, Sherelle says, “Y’all burning down s—t we need in
our community. Take that s—t to the suburbs. Burn that s—t down. We need
our s—t. We need our weaves. I don’t wear it. But we need it.”
CNN removed the portion of their report about Sherelle and owned up to their error.
“An
earlier version of this story mischaracterized what the victim’s sister
was trying to convey. She was calling for peace in her community,
urging the protesters to go elsewhere,” CNN told The Washington Examiner.
What Comes After Trump's Federal Pay Freeze: Why Not Equal Pay For Equal Work?
8/31/2018
Federal Pay: After President Trump announced he
wants to revoke federal workers' automatic 2.1% pay raise this year, the
response was predictable. Democrats and government unions squealed. The
only really surprising thing is that Trump didn't do it sooner.
"In
light of our nation's fiscal situation, Federal employee pay must be
performance-based, and aligned strategically toward recruiting,
retaining and rewarding high-performing Federal employees and those with
critical skill sets," Trump wrote in a letter to Congress.
The move brought a near-instantaneous response. "Cutting federal pay is not the way to run the best government possible or to recruit and retain the most talented Americans to serve their fellow countrymen," No. 2 House Democrat Steny Hoyer said.
California Democrat Eric Swalwell was more succinct, tweeting out that Trump had "screwed" federal workers.
Despite the wailing on the left, Trump's move shouldn't be controversial. What he described is exactly how private employees get compensated. Why should government employees be any different?
The truth is, by any reasonable measure a federal employee makes way
more than a private worker for doing the same job. But federal workers
don't have to answer to a marketplace. Once hired, it's almost
impossible to fire them. And it's equally difficult to tell whether a
federal worker is productive. How do you measure a bureaucrat's output?
By the way, Trump's move doesn't include the military. They got a
2.4% pay hike last year, and will get 2.6% this year. It's the 2.1
million federal workers, who got a 1.4% pay hike last year, that will
get nothing. Unless, that is, Congress rejects his move.
Before you bring out a violin, please note: Bureau of Economic Analysis data show that in 2016,
federal government workers had average total compensation — wages,
benefits, vacation, etc. — of $127,259 a year. For the private sector,
it's just $70,764. So federal workers make 80% more than private ones, an absurd and unsustainable gap. As recently as 1990, the difference was just 30%.
Washington, D.C.: Fat City
This is a big reason why the counties around Washington, D.C. are
today the nation's wealthiest. Of the 21 major sectors in the U.S.
economy, federal government workers are No. 3 in terms of pay,
behind only utilities and the managers of companies. That's why even
some Republicans wince at the thought of not automatically raising
federal pay; it would affect their constituencies too.
By the way, Trump isn't being a grinch. Recall that President Obama also imposed a partial freeze on federal employee pay in 2011. It's gotten out of hand.
Once again, the problem is spending. Big departments spend huge sums
on workers, whether they're needed or not, and whether they're
productive or not, then promote them. It's time to "right-size" our
federal bureaucracy, cutting unnecessary programs and making managers
choose the workers they need to accomplish goals.
Federal workers have fed at the public trough for too long. The
left's mantra for years has been "equal pay for equal work." We agree.
With federal deficits now at close to $1 trillion, it's belt-tightening
time.
Household Income Jumps To All-Time Highs Under Trump — Why Isn't This Big News?
8/29/2018
Economy: Median household income is up more than 4%, the
economy is growing fast, optimism is at decades long highs. Not that
you'd know it, since the press is too busy trying to drive President
Trump from office.
Inflation-adjusted median household incomes in July hit $62,450 according to the latest release from Sentier Research.
That's the highest level since Sentier started tracking this more than
18 years ago. And if you combine Sentier's numbers with annual Census
data, median household income is at all-time highs.
More interesting is the fact that median household income has shot up
more than 4% in the 19 months since Trump took office. It had been flat
over the previous year and a half. Over the course of President Obama's
entire eight years in office, median household income climbed a mere
0.3%, Sentier data show.
Overall economic growth is accelerating as well, after years of
Obama-induced stagnation. On Wednesday, the Commerce Department boosted
its estimate of Second Quarter growth to 4.2%. That means average growth
for first half of the year was above 3%. And if it continues strong in
the third quarter — as appears to be the case — chances are we will see
growth for the entire year at or above 3%. That would be the first time
since 2005.
This, too, is a sharp turnaround that just happens to coincide with
the Trump presidency. In Obama's last year in office, GDP growth was an
anemic 1.6%. The growth rate dropped in each of the last two quarters of
that year. And economists were everywhere telling the public that 2%
was the best we could do.
Perhaps that's why polls are showing the public's mood better than it's been in many years. Examples:
The IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index
surged to a 14-year high in August. (The September reading comes out
next week.) The IBD/TIPP poll also found that Americans are more
satisfied with the direction of the country than they've been since
2005.
The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index just reached an
18-year high at 133.4. The month before Trump won the election in
November 2016, it was 98.6.
The Conference Board also reports that job satisfaction is the highest it's been since 2005.
A survey by Express Employment finds that blue collar workers are
more upbeat about the direction of the economy than the general public.
Whatever one's view of Trump, this is undeniably good news. After
years of "unexpectedly" underperforming growth, the economy is giving
every indication that it is returning to its vigorous norm.
But instead of heralding this news, the mainstream press either
ignores, downplays or tries to explain it away. As we noted in this
space recently, The New York Times and others keep trying to claim that
the current boom was simply the continuation of growth set in motion
during the Obama years.
There's a simple reason for this. The press is singularly fixated on
bringing down Trump at all costs. Since good economic news will help
Trump, it must be overlooked.
The reason Einstein’s theory of relativity E=MC2 has withstood the test of time is because it explains the source of everything.
Scientists
already explained molecules represent everything that can be seen, and
atoms represent everything that cannot be seen with the naked eye. They
also knew how to split a molecule to its source, atoms: and also split
atoms into neutrons, protons and more. Einstein was the first to split
an atom to its source — Pure Vibrating Light , the source of everything!
This
pure vibrating light sends out wave forms of probability that become
atoms, two or more atoms become molecules, and so it is. The Eternal
Cycle.
In
this process scientists discovered wave forms have an intellectual
intelligence and could communicate with each other even when cut in
half. Scientists also found it impossible to complete their report
because this intellectual intelligence intercepted their own thoughts.
Everything
on this planet vibrates, rocks, trees, soil, animals, humans,
everything. The difference is not everything vibrates at the same wave
length.
After
years of searching this comes the closest to explaining how/why I
remember my birth. Telling my little friends this does explain why I did
not have many friends as a child.
No
one ran from me when I taught myself to play the piano when I was four
years old. Nor did anyone express fright when I was asked to accompany
the Pastor of our church on is violin each week when I was six.
When
I was 19 and in a serious head-on collision, I had an out-of-body (OBE)
experience in the hospital. I seemed to be on the ceiling looking down
on my body and telling someone to cover my bare chest. No one paid any
attention to me, nor had I ever heard of an OBE.
In
2007 I was struck by a city bus running a red light, breaking my neck.
While trying to act normal and still teach a class in metaphysics, a
student asked a question I could not answer. So, I wrote to the
President of the Foundation for clarification, this generated weekly
letters for the next six years when he passed.
Eight
months into our correspondence I wrote the fun of writing to him was
because he had no idea to whom he was writing. A few nights later I had
the most beautiful dream. Like an angel standing next to me and although
we never spoke any words I understood everything we said. When the
dream faded out I had a profound sense of love and peace. It was so
beautiful!
In
my next letter I excitedly wrote of my experience with an angel. His
response was thanking me for letting him come into my heart and sharing
the love!
You
must know, I did not have any training on how or what I was
experiencing. Our connection continued until August 2013. I moved to
another state and wrote to give him my new address. The Foundation
returned my letter saying he was too ill to respond! I was shocked — not
knowing he was ill.
One
night, while I was asleep-(I have to sleep sitting up because of my
neck), he took my face in both hands and kissed me good-bye on the lips,
waking me. I yelled, “Stop that!” before realizing he was making his
transition. His obituary lists him as having passed the next day.
Two things, how did he know where to find me, especially since we never met in person? He still communicates.
Growing
up we all must have heard things like, 1)we are one, in spirit, 2)
Metaphysics tells us we are all Gods one son. I think of it as we are
all one in spirit, pixelated into many bodies. (We all have the same
hopes, dreams, desires to be loved).
When we die we return to pure vibrating light with an intellectual intelligence. (a thought).
John Williams watches as Gretchen
Haptonstall walk away from him after some exchange in words after the
School District 51 Board of Education members voted to fire the
district's superintendent Ken Haptonstall. Chancey Bush
The
School District 51 Board of Education voted unanimously to terminate
Superintendent Ken Haptonstall's employment Friday for his mishandling
of an administrative reorganization, paying him an undisclosed amount of
severance as part of a separation agreement that immediately ends his
employment with the district.
Board
members also released the results of a third-party investigation into
the reorganization, which concluded that while Haptonstall did not
intentionally obscure the financial impact of his plan, he mismanaged it
and failed to communicate effectively with staff and the Board of
Education throughout the process.
Haptonstall was terminated a little more than a year after he was hired to replace Superintendent Steve Schultz.
Haptonstall,
who did not attend the meeting, wrote a six-page rebuttal to the
12-page report compiled by investigator and retired FBI agent Jane
Quimby, whom the board hired to conduct the investigation.
At
multiple points Haptonstall questioned Quimby's conclusions, claiming
there was no evidence for her assertions and that several of them were
false, conjecture and/or inappropriate. Haptonstall also questioned
whether she was a "quality" investigator.
Haptonstall's
separation agreement includes a severance payment, according to board
President Tom Parrish, but Parrish claimed he did not know how much it
was. School district staff did not have access to the separation
agreement late Friday night.
The
details of separation agreements, including any amount of money paid
whenever a public employee is terminated, are a matter of public record
and must be disclosed under the state's open records laws.
The
school board's investigation was prompted by a Daily Sentinel review of
the administration changes, which included more employees, higher
salaries and a $1.2 million price tag. That cost includes salaries for
positions with titles such as coordinator, supervisor, executive
director and more.
Quimby's
report contended that the Sentinel's calculations included 12 positions
that are not on the "Administrative — Professional and Technical" salary
schedule and "failed to account for scheduled annual salary schedule
increases that would have occurred regardless of the reorganization."
According to the report, the cost of Haptonstall's administration reorganization was $946,322 as of Aug. 27.
Haptonstall
told the school board and the Sentinel in January that he thought the
shake-up would not add any top-level positions and save the district
money. After the Sentinel published the results of its investigation on
July 22, he said he thought the reorganization would cost $500,000.
After
the board members voted to accept the agreement, Parrish read a joint
statement from the board and Haptonstall. Parrish and board members John
Williams and Paul Pitton also made statements to the nearly 50 people
at the meeting.
Parrish, Williams and Pitton apologized for the controversy surrounding the administration reorganization.
"The
board has some complicity in this from a lack of oversight," Williams
said. "We had information occasionally along the way that should have
led me to ask harder questions and for more information. I'm deeply
embarrassed and I apologize to everyone in this room for that."
Williams
also cautioned against vilifying people with the label of
administrator, stating that people in administration have great success
stories and want to do great things for kids.
Pitton said it was the board's hope that the dust will settle, new leadership will be found and the district will move forward.
"I
personally would like to make an apology to the teaching staff, the
administration and the people who have been enduring a lot of stress and
tension over unanswered questions, insecurity over their jobs and where
we're headed as a district," Pitton said.
Parrish
said he hopes good will come out of the investigation, including
shining a spotlight on areas where the school board is not as strong or
attentive and being able to improve those areas.
"This
has been a miserable four weeks for everyone involved," Parrish said.
"This has not been an enjoyable four weeks, so I apologize as well, and
we're going to move forward."
After the meeting, Parrish said the board will appoint an interim superintendent and start the search for a new superintendent.
