Oh dear god. Glenn says that "the rain is coming." I love, in particular, his belief that government injecting money into the economy doesn't lead to "real" economic success. I think Keynes might have something to say about that, but, whatever...
It's amazing, too, how he manages to shift from his laments about the unemployment rate to snidely deriding the government bailout of GE: "We couldn't lose all those jobs. We wouldn't want Americans to get a boo boo." And then he shifts again: "How were the people of Detroit repaid?" he asks. And he answers this by making fun of a new factory (which, no doubt, includes jobs) in Delaware.
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt; I do. But even if you only watch this clip of Beck, his vacillations between tears for lost jobs and derision for economic measures taken to create/save jobs is, at best, idiocy and, at worst, a complete act.
In other words, he's either stupid or a liar, and, let's be honest, he's probably both.
Let's get building people.
