Laredo or Bust

What started out as Glenn just trying to get to the bottom of people being kidnapped at an alarming rate in Laredo, Texas (by thugs from Mexico) has ended up in an all out political battle. Both the Mayor of Laredo and the Congressman from the district that represents Laredo have decided to attack Glenn instead of attack the border problem. Both the Mayor and the Congressman have implied Glenn is a racist for depicting the town of Laredo as a war zone. After Congressman Cuellar received endless phone calls from Glenn Beck listeners yesterday, he started to see his career melt before his eyes, so he is now trying to say that he never implied Glenn is a racist. Oh really? Read this article and decide for yourself. Glenn is fed up with politicians who would rather play the political games than deal with the issues --- so he is taking matters into his own hands. Glenn announced today a plan to shine the spotlight on the border crisis not only in Laredo, but in many other border towns. Read about Glenn's plan here. (Insiders listen to Glenn lay out his plan here).

Good or Greed?

Warren Buffett was on Capitol Hill this week making the oh so brave pitch to politicians of 'please, tax me more' as if they needed the encouragement. Steve Moore from the Wall Street Journal joined Glenn to preview his column that runs tomorrow in the Journal about how Buffett is a giant sized hypocrite. At the same time he complains he's not being taxed enough, he's pulled off the biggest tax dodge of all time using of all things the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Read about it here. (Insiders listen here to Glenn's interview with Stephen Moore).

Fiscal Tsunami?

Glenn talked about an article in Newsweek that hit on a lot of the things he has been talking about lately with the economy and how we are headed for trouble. This article talks about how the Chinese are looking to move more of their money into Euros, how Medicare is doomed and Social Security will start it's decline in 2009 and how the prescription drug benefit is 'the most fiscally irresponsible act in decades'.
