It's disappointing that a national news commentator is so ignorant of basic economics. Then again this is BOR that I speak off. In a "gotcha" cheap shot attempt BOR tried to get Donald Trump to say taxes need to be raised to help with the deficit.. The Donald, much to his credit, tried to explain and educate that a robust economy will increase revenues dramatically. It is a basic concept that BOR can't seem to understand. Raising taxes actually decreases tax revenues because most economists believe the USA's federal tax rates are on the right side of the laffer curve inflection point. Then again BOR is probably incapable of even grasping what an inflection point actually means.....
As long as they are a propaganda arm of The Cheap Labor Express I will not watch.
Megan Kelly is very appealing eye candy, but I still don’t watch.
and no, this is not related to the monkey story.
Doubt he is ignorant. He is using viewers ignorance to turn voters away from Trump.
Yeaah, #1 rated cable news commentator, author of 5 or 6 best selling "Killing personalities" books...multimillionaire....donates more to charity that probably any other T.V. personality....but a pinhead...O.K.
Yes they are scary and why the analysts are all getting spooked.
In business terms, the US economy is highly leveraged, in that a modest increase in the “top line” e.g. GDP generates a huge (Yuge!) amount of benefit throughout the economy. For example, consider that if a business increases it’s sales its cost of good sold decreases because it can buy materials in higher volumes and labor becomes more efficient. Similarily when the GDP grows, tax receipts at all levels go up, and costs go down. In my area, population has declined but it still takes the same number of firemen, the same number of people to run the courts, etc. Government automatically becomes lean when the economy grows but we’ve been way too long in the opposite mode, where government has expanded to absorb every available dollar (and then some).
This is what Trump explained to O’Bloviator.

I happened to catch this segment with Trump...
I was completely flabbergasted by his complete idiocy...
He must have been trying to play Trump, because he simply cannot be that stupid...
Oreilly is in the bag for the Cheap Labor Express.
Of course they have ‘virgin ears’ that were just simply appalled and offended.
(I think my eyes are going to fly to the moon if I roll them one more time.)
Amazingly, the MSM is bleeping it out...LOL
Where was BOR in the Reagan years?
OMGosh, I LOVE that movie! Funniest ever!!!
“Megan Kelly is very appealing eye candy, but I still don’t watch.”
Well, send her to me! I have a ball gag that will fit her perfectly!
Yeah, he thinks new laws will improve gas mileage as well.
He used to be a high school teacher. This explains a lot of the problems we are now facing.
You’re setting a pretty high standard there. O’reilly’s already a master of pontification and bloviating and blathering and interrupting and browbeating. Now you want him to come up to speed on econ 101?
BOR is for BOR...
I've always said, if it paid better to be a left wing progressive hysterical libtard...
BOR would make Micheal Moore blush...
That fact he is the # 1 rated cable show, show many Americans are completely clueless...
O’Reilly has no understanding of economics. I remember when he bitterly lost a bunch on investments and started blathering about nationalizing oil.
I watched the interview and I saw it as O’Reilly trying to get Trump to say what he would cut in order to pay off the debt.
I guess we all see things differently.
I would like welfare,food stamps,and the like cut.
.
I'm ok as long as food is limited to bags of rice, apples etc.
