Sean Hannity Takes on Social Democrat Robert Kuttner

Economics writer Robert Kuttner mixed it up with Sean Hannity.Fox News has this transcript from the Hannity and Colmes show:
KUTTNER: If you think the economy is great, you campaign on that.

HANNITY: And Barack Obama wants to spend $1 trillion on new spending. A trillion dollars in new government spending on nationalized health care. Is that good for the economy?

KUTTNER: We probably need more than that. You talk...

HANNITY: Really?

KUTTNER: Yes. You talk about the average person about their insincerity of health care.

HANNITY: So you want the government to take care of all our problems?

KUTTNER: Well, the secretary in the treasury, Mr. Paulson, apparently does when it comes to bailing out Wall Street.

HANNITY: The same government that bankrupted Social Security? The same government that bankrupted Medicare? It's going bankrupt.

KUTTNER: Social Security is in much better shape than Citigroup or Morgan Stanley or — if most of the banks on Wall Street were in as good a shape as Social Security, this country would be in great shape.

HANNITY: You're dreaming.
Robert Kuttner a man who believes in coercion.
