VOICE: The Glenn Beck program presents more truth behind America's March to Socialism.
GLENN: Well, perhaps we should have been a little more suspicious when President Obama declared that the stimulus package must be passed or America just might not make it. Maybe we should have objected a little louder when President Obama said government was the only solution to the problem. And maybe we should have raised our eyebrows when news reports predicting stimulus success said things like, quote: Amid all the anticipation of Obama's stimulus package, Americans should realize that the effects of the stimulus aren't likely to be felt until the economy is already rebounding on its own, end quote. What? What? I mean, maybe I'm a hair paranoid here, but perhaps we shouldn't have shrugged off Obama's comments that the stimulus would start helping people on April 1st because now the joke is on us. Unemployment just went up another 1/2%. 9.4%. I have more on this coming up later. It's worse than anybody is telling you. The White House admitted that that number is much higher than they anticipated. Yeah, 1.4 than their worst case scenario. Even the AP is reporting that the stimulus is and other big spending programs designed to help boost the economy having wait a minute the opposite effect and actually making things worse. Wow, who would have seen that coming? But don't worry because it's not like there are, you know, more giant government programs in the works like massive healthcare overhaul which President Obama says he's going to pay for by... yes... taxing the rich. You know what? We're all going to need healthcare soon because there are not going to be any rich, there's not going to be anybody that can afford it. We're all going to need government healthcare.
Well, I have some good news. Coming directly from the government and the congressional website, here it is. Quote: The stimulus is putting 200,000 Americans to work every single day. Is there a footnote on that or I mean, I'm not a mathematician, but that doesn't seem even possible. But I mean, what do I know? The economy is complex and, you know, they've got numbers and periods that they call they don't even call them periods. Decimal something or other. I mean, it's all kind of I'm an idiot conservative, you know. I spent a week in a flyover state. What do I know? I just hope there's some more free money coming my way. Yeehaw! That would be right.
