19 year old reminds conservative economist that he's "not a scientist"



Stephen Moore, conservative economist and Wall Street Journal columnist learned the hard way that spin doesn't work in the face of facts. Bravo!

At 1:16, 19-year-old Zack Kopplin, science advocate and history student, offers up the only response one should give whenever a pundit starts talking about cutting science.

And at 2:25, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Bill Maher both pile on and fact-check Mr. Moore's spin again.

IF you are wondering why we funded snail mating habits, it's to prevent children in developing countries from getting parasitic worms and stuff.

Yeah, there was a good reason. IF you consider research to prevent kids from parasitic worms a good reason.

I do.
