1. The US will continue to get involved in other countries.
2. Taxes will eventually rise on the wealthy.
3. Entitlement programs will eventually be reformed.
4. China will eventually have a housing bubble.
...if you think Beck was the only person who could have said the US will continue getting involved with other countries, that we will continue to increase our debt (like we have for decades), that our credit rating will eventually get lowered etc... then, I'm sorry. It's common sense.
However, our economy has not got worse. We are still WAY HIGHER than Q1 2009 in almost every aspect besides the unemployment rate. Do your research.
And the housing market
And the strength of the dollar
And the inflated food prices ...
The idiot Beck also said the markets would SOAR after the debt ceiling deal was hammered out last week. Oh wait, that was you....
Never heard him say that, but sure heard Obama say that repeatedly. How did that turn out?
Well, to be fair, Obama didn't promise markets would soar, but he did assure us that the markets would most assuredly tank if the deal wasn't reached. They most definitely would, he stressed. Just as he stressed we'd go over the cliff if we didn't pass the all the other gigantic spending bills. How has all that turned out?
I'll bet on Glenn before I bet on our illustrious non-leader in the WH.
Hmmmm.........Crazy Glenn Beck must have a crystal ball.
He said we were going to get militarily involved in more countries than just the two stupid wars we already had. People said he was crazy and not to listen to him. How'd that turn out?
He said gold was going to soar in price when it was only $700/ounce and now it's over $1600. People said he was crazy and not to listen to him. How'd that turn out?
He said the Fed was going to monetize the debt. People said he was crazy and not to listen to him. How'd that turn out?
He said America was going to fail to cut it's spending and would loose it's credit rating. People said he was crazy and not to listen to him. How'd that turn out?
Glenn said it's going to get worse. How do you think that will turn out?? My money is on Glenn.
But anyone can watch a few Youtube videos then pass the knowledge off like it's their own. You're just easily impressed.

I'm impressed that he had the foresight to be able to utilize that ability of his, to stand back away from the trees, to see the forest to create a historic turn in political thinking from the mess, the last 100 years has brought to the USA.

He did? NO!
That was a poster here that started a thread, not Glenn.
I don't remember Glenn having a view one way or the other on the Stock Market and the debt deal.

I know Beck didn't say that. It was none other than or Stock Market Guru bmw335xi who did.
It went down because of two VERY bad economic reports installing fear about a double dip recession...Right before the manufacturing report came out, stocks were up triple digits.
You are "cherry picking" here as it was mentioned many times on that other thread that the "other shoe had yet to drop" and you chose to ignore that and other admonishments about the "debt ceiling" not being the panacea you thought it was.
Those "very bad economic reports" that instilled fear, were there for everyone to see long before they were issued as formal reports, had you bothered to do any research at all.
You ignored a host of indicators and made your prediction anyway; c'mon now, man up!
