Yeah, sound economic principles are a bad thing. Especially for freeloaders.
What "sound economic principles" would those be?

You remind me of a cartoon I saw of some guy standing on the rubble of a collapsed civilization yelling "But the THEORY is STILL SOUND!"

Most "sound theory" adds up to "What worked yesterday will always work, and any variation is 'unsound.'"

Reporter calls Biden’s ‘obvious cognitive decline’ most ‘underreported’ story of 2024

A veteran CBS News reporter called out the media for not properly covering U.S. President Joe Biden’s “cognitive decline” until his disastrous debate against Donald Trump made it irrefutable.


Jan Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent, appeared Sunday on Face the Nation where she was asked what she thought was the most underreported story of the year.

“Under-covered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” she said on the morning show.

Crawford added that thorough reporting on the outgoing president’s health could have altered the election results.

“And yet he insisted that he could still run for president,” she noted.

“We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats.”

She continued: “It could have changed the scope of the entire election.”

Crawford also highlighted a recent report by The Wall Street Journal that detailed how White House aides covered up Biden’s mental decline over the past four years, and worked to limit the 82-year-old’s interactions with others.

Biden’s on-camera struggles and stumbles were reported on but the White House issued denials, no comments or non-answers when questioned about his mental acuity.



But there was nothing Biden’s inner circle could do following the June 27 debate on live TV that saw him struggling terribly.

Less than a month later, he dropped out of the presidential race and offered his “full support and endorsement” of Vice President Kamala Harris.

With less than four months to the election, Harris ultimately lost to Trump, who returns to the White House on Jan. 20.

Robert Costa, CBS News’ chief election and campaign correspondent and fellow Face the Nation guest, insisted that Biden previously said he was sick during the debate “and he’s always been fine and he leaves fine.”


Costa added: “That is his position, the position of many of his top aides as well, even though there is that reporting.”

However, Crawford wasn’t buying it.

“Yet still, incredibly, we read in the Washington Post that his advisers are saying that he regrets that he dropped out of the race, that he thinks he could have beaten Trump,” she said.

“And I think that is either delusional or they’re gaslighting the American people.”
