Are Medicare, Social Security on the Table for Cuts?

Published November 16, 2011

NEIL CAVUTO, HOST: Before you look for the union label first look for the union attack ads. Three senators are finding out the hard way tonight.

You try to make tough choices in Washington. Unions are going to make it very tough for you to get reelected. Wait until you find out how tough.

Because this ad isn't just targeting those senators. It was meant for the super committee as well.

Its employees may be grumbling, but now we know why 10 P.M. Thanksgiving night, Walmart's doors are opening.

When Will Road to Recovery Start for Penn State?

Published November 15, 2011

NEIL CAVUTO, FBN HOST: Well, Penn State, boy it's in a real state right now, right? Former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky not the better of that media interview with Bob Costas, and a situation that was already bad that many argue he made worse.

And for beleaguered Penn State, a battered brand, even more battered. Now the only question is how battered? And is it now irretrievably battered? Marketing expert Jason Maloni says Penn State is looking at a very long road to recovery. How long do you think, when all is said and done, Jason?

NEIL CAVUTO, HOST: Have you ever noticed these Occupy Wall Streeters? The latest indications are, despite Mayor Bloomberg's protest in Manhattan, that they are going to stay there, forever.

Major Airlines Reverse Fare Hikes

Published November 07, 2011

LIZ MACDONALD, HOST: Well, what goes up did come down. A slew of major airlines rolling back air fares. Delta the latest to hike prices by 10 bucks round-trip, only to ditch the idea days later. Marketing guru Jeff Hayzlett says higher prices for a low level of service ain't going to fly.

MACDONALD: The airlines have.

Paul Mitchell Co-Founder on the Wall Street Protests

Published November 03, 2011

NEIL CAVUTO, FBN HOST: All right, continuing now, as we sometimes do when we have a guest we consider certainly worthy of going long, with John Paul Dejoria. Of course, almost everything you have touched has turned to gold. I don't know how you do that, because the one commonality found in researching you for our last discussion and now this one is a certain common trait I find with those who break through or just become iconic.

Published November 02, 2011

Growing Economic Greek Tragedy Approaching Fast

Published November 01, 2011

From the folks who brought you the Acropolis...now, just a mess.

And at this hour, a Greek rescue package that itself looks like ancient ruins. Stocks tanking here and...darn near everywhere amid growing fears it's a mess and getting messier there.

Greeks protesting even paying half what they owe, a Prime Minister pulls a referendum on what they think, and bankers now protesting taking an even bigger haircut than they already have...and suddenly what looked like a sure thing is sure looking more like a Greek tragedy.

As they say, read the red arrows, and weep.
