Today on DT: Fun with government stupidity, Obama breaks a promise, and we find out how much six months of life is worth
The new Capitol Visitors Center is open, and not a moment too soon for Harry Reid, who was tired of stinky tourists walking through the Capitol unwashed. Of course one man's tourist is another man's taxpayer, but we digress.
On
today's show well run through a bunch of interesting/amusing/disturbing
news relating to the Obama transition. Looks like he's ready to break another campaign promise, this time on a windfall profits tax for oil companies. Plus Hillary Clinton's appointment might be unconstitutional. But don't fret, politicians tend to be much better at opening loopholes than closing them. And Bill Clinton is eyeing some kind of role as a superambassador, likely to your daughters.
Finally, we'll ask you to tell us: How much is six months of life worth? More countries are considering
following Britain's lead, where they limit costly healthcare
expenditures when they may produce limited results. In other words, if
a medicine that will extend your life for six months costs $50,000, the
British government says it's not worth it. What do you say? Call us at
