The FBI admits using drones
in the United States. A Congressional Budget Office report says an
immigration bill would cut the federal deficit. And the Federal Reserve
outlines an end to its stimulus. Diane and a panel of journalists
discuss the week’s top national news stories.
The Afghan government stalls
peace talks with the Taliban. President Barack Obama calls for cuts in
U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals. And widespread protests continue in
Brazil. A panel of journalists joins Diane for analysis of the week's
top international news stories.
There's a lot of misinformation out there. For too long, too many hard
working Americans paid the price for policies that handed free rein to
insurance companies. President Obama’s health reform law gives hard
working families the security they deserve. The Affordable Care Act
holds insurance companies accountable, lowers health care costs, gives
Americans more freedom and control in their health care choices and
improves the quality of care.
TIL- that there is no archaeological evidence whatsoever that suggests Jews were ever enslaved in Egypt.
