The guy who made a fortune selling Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, the most popular childhood obesity product on the planet, is moaning about cutting Medicaid for children.
Bernie Sanders prog’splains to Brett Baier of Fox News why flying a chartered jet is the only way to run a campaign. Phil Scott tells VDC that driving an EV truck means you sometimes have to rearrange your Official Business schedule.
A communications device hidden in Chinese-made solar inverters could bring down the grid. Top officials in Vermont and the U.S. Dept. of Energy are taking the report seriously, they tell VDC.
And what happened to the ‘Veto Governor?’

Ben Cohen, a marketing genius who used Vermont chic and liberal ideology to peddle ice cream as health food…good for the dairy farmers…but not so good for those young arteries and waistlines.
‘I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream.’

Hilarious? Not!
As always, beware the art of logical fallacy.
Ben Cohen became rich selling anything but healthy food. Cohen is the classic progressive hypocrite (i.e., Marxist). Nothing new there. But his complaint that Medicaid for children is being cut is as deceptive as his ice cream advertising.
While Medicaid is being ‘cut’ to reduce waste, fraud and abuse, is it possible that one child receiving Medicaid benefits may lose them in the process? Of course. If only temporarily. But it’s as fanciful to think that this massive, corrupt and incompetent bureaucracy can be improved in only a few months of reorganization as it is to believe the Medicare system was ever perfect in the first place… let alone having been as wasteful, fraudulent and abusive as we’re learning it’s been.
Ben Cohen is a snake oil salesman, as are so many of Vermont’s progressives. And I continue to be suspect of those who buy into their deceptive reasoning, because I still find it hard to believe they are so short-sighted as to not see through the misleading advertising.
After all, “You’re an oligarch. You’ve got a product. And you want it to be number one.” The more unfettered Medicaid benefits are distributed to everyone, not just children, the more they can afford to buy unhealthy (and expensive) ice cream like Ben Cohen’s.
“The guy who made a fortune selling Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, the most popular childhood obesity product on the planet, is moaning about cutting Medicaid for children.” A great Marxist should allow guest to stay for free at his many mansions.
And why worry about Chinese-made communicative devices that could be hidden in solar inverters bringing down our electric grid just because “top officials in Vermont and the US Dept. of Energy” care?
Bernie Sanders, another Communist hypocrite polluting our skies with Chater flights.
Great work, Guy and Paul!
