Beck has lost it! Does he think that Americans are in need of his own dark vision of the economy? He paints a metaphoric concept of economic hopelessness and tells his audience that when one has a disease as he does, one has to stay away from things like cupcakes.
Glenn Beck has used his own weakened condition to explain the woes of the United States before this demonstration. Is he looking for sympathy? Either way, listening or watching Glenn Beck has become so depressing that even with cupcakes, someone feels hopeless. He needs to get control of himself and stop the doom and gloom.
His cupcake demonstration was not only infantile, but he licked the icing off his finger. He has some valid points, but his demeanor is one of a clown. Glenn Beck should stop while he is ahead, take his money, and concentrate on his health.

However, what I have heard makes me think he is sugar coating the doom and gloom instead of telling us what is really coming down the pike.
Economic upheavals historically always lead to hot wars. Wars cost money, lots of money. We have no money, so how will we be able to defend ourselves in a hot war? Have the Chinese lend us the money? Or the Arabians? Or the Japanese? Or the Germans? No one else has the capability to fund such a war. It would make no sense for anyone to lend us money to fight a war when it would be more to their advantage to gang up on us for the spoils. Will that happen? It sure looks like it to me.
At the very least it is going to be a long and bumpy ride before we recover. It took over ten years in the 1930's to dig ourselves out of the Great Depression. And, even then, it did not happen without the worst war in history.
History has a habit of repeating itself, over and over and over and over again. And it is happening again.
My impression of Beck is that he is either not telling us what his research uncovers, OR he has not done the required research. Either way he is not telling us what is coming down the pike.
He tends to think that our problems can be fixed by the government that created many of the problems in the first place. It can't be done. The government bureaucracy is too firmly entrenched and beyond the reach of the voters, no matter who they vote in.
Our economic and other problems are leading us up to another civil war. And, if so, our hindsight may determine that the first 'shots' were fired in Arizona last year when they took the bull by the horns and thumbed their noses at the federal government.
Since then many other states have been following suit. And every time I turn around I see more and more nose thumbing at the federal government by the states, like Walker telling Obama to butt out of Wisconsin. Look around. Most states are telling the federal government to get lost in one way or another.
All that is needed is some sort of a crisis and our house of cards will collapse overnight. Like, what if Egypt becomes a satellite of Iran and Iran closes the Suez and stops the oil flow? Or, what if the U.S. has a crop failure? Or what if terrorists destroy one or more major cities? Or what if China, Japan, Germany, and Saudi Arabia dump the Treasury notes they bought from us?
I could go on and on. But you get the picture.
Do your own research. Don't believe me, Beck, or anyone else. Just use what Beck and others say as a starting point for your own research.
