Tonight at 9 pm Eastern, your favorite
new cable news show, Fox Business Network’s The
Independents, will dicuss the hot-of-the-presses
bipartisan budget deal hammered out between Rep. Paul Ryan
(R-Wisconsin) and Rep. Patty Murray (D-Washington), and whether
increasing federal spending by $45 billion is worth the
pain-avoidance of not having budget or debt ceiling fights for a
while.
Also on tap: How’s that
GM bailout looking now? Uruguay becomes the first country in
the 21st century to
legalize marijuana! What does
Steve Jobs’s preferential liver treatment tell us about the
ethics of organ markets? And if Obama shaking hands with a Castro
is like
Chamberlain pressing the flesh with Hitler, what do we get to
call the historic
McCain-Qaddafi tent-party?
All this and more, with your hostess with the mostest Kennedy, plus
Matt
Welch and Kmele Foster, in
addition to a buncha fabulous guests.
Hit up The
Independents website for some video from last night’s
debut broadcast; heckle us live on Twitter @IndependentsFBN (we’ll
read out a few), follow us on Facebook, and
