Glenn Beck's series "America's Broke"

I know some can not stand listening to Glen Beck but thought I would post this anyway.

He is doing a week-long series about the financial troubles of the USA.


Video link to the first part.

I think Glenn Beck is amazing. He didn't go to college and yet seems to know SO much more about our economy, then so called experts. Why aren't more people touching the same subjects that he is, and he isn't blaming the democrats OR the republicans, he's blaming those who need to be blamed. Also, just wondering, WHY are there no heads rolling at fanny mae and freddie mac? Why isn't the govt. putting their CEO's to task just like they did with Enron? This is a MUCH bigger issue than Enron ever was and it's just being swept under the rug. Is it becuase of all the lobbiests(sp?) for those two? Also, heads should be rolling at AIG and the govt is just bailing them out...
Off topic, but also along the lines of Glenn Beck...I have his latest book and it's hilarious! I also went to see his show last summer, it was awesome. He really is an amazing guy with an amazing story to tell.

Beck is one of a few that is trying to get the info. out to the public. He does understand the serious situations we are facing.
I just wish politicans would be honest enough with the people and quit promising "free or low-cost universal stuff".
We have to take care of the mess now and get Washington under control.

I have been watching this and yesterday he really got quite emotional over it. No one seems to be doing anything about it. And when the politicians say "free" and stuff... It really makes me cringe, there is no way to be able to do this, they were just talking how were are so in debt just because of the "free" medications under part D of medicaid(medicare? I forget which is which). Something George W Bush did, and it's costing up our freedom... China is now starting to buy us out... We are going to have to start learning Mandarin.
