REID ON SAVING ONE CHILD THROUGH FUNDING COMPROMISE: 'WHY WOULD WE WANT TO DO THAT?'

Bash mentioned the fact that due to the shutdown, children with cancer are being turned away from clinical trials at the NIH and that the GOP will pass a bill today funding the NIH.

852 don't fall for the phony garbage. It's hilarious the tea partiers and their conservative followers scream on and on about big bad government until they realize that this is the type of stuff (NIH) that government does.

9:56 What a dunce you are. In a true capitalist, robust economy those rich folks you so crucify always step up to the plate with charitable contributions.

No need to tax those on the bottom rung still struggling. The rich by default take care of things.

NO BIG GOVERNMENT.
