Several little ways there's not a dirty -- -- off today we have radio -- talk show host and author of -- you just happen.

Monica Crowley and of course we have attorney.

Mark when you're sitting next circus -- looking -- Monica too she's fabulous insight are moving there exactly are right at first up let's go to the post office it has finally come home run.

They're new Major League Baseball all star stands have all been out for a week they've already sold one point 51 million -- that.

That is a record look at that the four stamps series features called -- sluggers Joseph DiMaggio and Ted Williams I think it's -- this this proves.

But the post office ten sells something of value -- people they're good products in there.

It's just -- come on help me out -- -- this looks like a product that could actually tried to pull them out of being broke his bankruptcy and we know they're billions of dollars in debt and did they were thinking about cutting back this Saturday delivery they were talking about laying off and they dirty started to.

Hundreds if not thousands of postal workers.

This actually this product and this is entrepreneurship right it's capitalism this is the market yeah you you producer product that people want they want home.

There you go I'm an absolute fan I will say I'm not sure there's truth to the rumor.

That they've got four more sluggers plan in these will be super -- stamps for those who view steroids.

You don't we let me and I see -- media and can actually -- that was -- I think you need to generate revenue at this point that the one dollar I think the post office -- got to grow revenue not you don't get more money from us -- people -- not found guilty don't have stick them on the back because it just won't -- it's gonna -- and -- right Roger Clinton journalists and on those scars that are right next story -- a little surprised to hear this but according.

To a new poll only 57% of people think college is a good financial investment for young adults.

That is down from 81%.

Just four years ago and check this out the same Rasmussen poll shows that when it comes to who pays for college the majority 83%.

Think parents should contribute at least part to their kids' tuition.

So what I think is college mark I'll start with you because I tend to lean towards no -- out of five.

-- Go to school borrow bags steel -- your parents get anybody you can go to school absolutely.

It doubles your chance of being unemployed if you don't have a college degree -- -- doubles your chance in this bad economy.

It is still just doesn't guarantee success and I think that was kind of one of those things like the American dream by -- home you know it's your nest egg that wasn't true.

Go to college and you are in play electric have a great job gimmickry you're sat that was the dream but I think you know -- pointing to something that's -- to Rex.

Consequence of this bad economy which mark touched on.

Which is -- a lot of these public college kids are graduating with huge loans right hung over a 100000 dollar sometimes more they cannot get a job so they can even get a job to launch that American dream.

And start their careers never mind start paying off these loans so I think what you're seeing reflected in these numbers is sort of the depressed US economy especially for younger writers -- -- out that's true but you still gotta go.

I don't cut yourself out of actually I I yeah I wouldn't stand for my kids not going and I think it's just not a guarantee and people are realizing it but there's no guarantee there's no guarantee my -- -- suffered.

Taxes are moving on.

Airport seemed to be getting healthier but with a financial incentive of course airport since it Francisco and Dallas Fort Worth.

Are now offering free -- rooms while several other airports have laid out half mile walking paths in the terminal.

The idea is that travelers will consider which airports they will be using when booking their trip.

And they if they have healthier options at the airport it increases the business all around.

Do you pack your yoga I hear in your eyes -- -- -- You go video Vermont -- -- kind of nice when I'm traveling not really I'm not IBM was like a total sloppy it lately jeans sneakers with a socks and the sweater and yeah I -- in a pony tail I have -- but who -- time to actually go -- you know guy in an airport when you're trying to catch a flight right and then relax.

But the bigger point is that this is the free market -- -- -- this is capitalism work somebody had a great idea and said let's privacy that works if it doesn't work.

It won't work and people won't -- and -- these places will go out they'll go back to having a Hudson who -- stores in the Starbucks and McDonald's.

But you know what it's worth a try and if there's a market there -- succeed.

It is a great idea any market -- in our -- We try to -- today JFK term jetBlue has this amazing terminal JFK even though the airports apartment kids love -- when we get there.

They race around I mean there is something to be said for people have choices right.

I think absolutely and and I don't think this is just to fly by night things are bad pun but I do think that that attack he ha I was gonna wait.

I don't think.

This of these can take off I do think what we need did -- Is recognize exactly what Monica said this is America by golly.

And VFW is is an airport in Texas -- from and they've done an amazing job of this they've got a healthy places to eat running walking tracks all sorts of things.

I think it's fantastic.

Yeah although what is really -- the articles that -- people say they wanna be healthier when they're at the airport.

But the truth of the matter is you miss your flight in -- so angry that you go and get the cheeseburger French -- -- forget it I don't care about gets right what I am now the cinnamon -- cap a -- I -- unsettling and it's so -- -- feel better if in addition to the senate bond you've got to walk put off now I I just got it McDonald how had a child -- -- --
