    Glenn Beck just makes me blue.

    There's no argument there. Nothing to push back on. Just sentiments that leave you feeling icky.

    I need newspapers, by the way -- I have absurdly low blood pressure. Getting mad is good for me! (So is a 1:1 salt-to-food ratio.)

    Seriously, think of the most prolific trolls you've ever even heard of.


    Glenn Beck is more trolly than that person by like, orders of magnitude.

    So do people really believe Glen Beck? I could never imagine a person who would seriously think he is smart or well informed or anything close to that.

    You are living in a dream world

    edit: I mean, look, he doesn't have some of the biggest ratings on talk television because people think he's joking. There is a huge part of the population that is hanging off his every word.

    that's not what this dream monitor says

    I just want a food replicator so I can say "Tea...Earl Gray...Hot" every 10 minutes.

    and every 10 minutes you get a cup of something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea

    I hope Captain Picard phasers you in the nuts.

    Also, I don't know anything about tea. I drink coffee, because I'm a man.

    I don't drink either because I am not powered by caffeine

    Caffeine is awesome.

    hatred and rage is better

    i just throw some amphetamines in the mix and i'm good to go with the hatred and rage

    I have never listened nor read Glen Beck before, but I just read that article that was linked. It was filled with sensationalized fluff, but he did have one good point. Healthcare is expensive and how does the government plan to pay for it? I am afraid of the answer, that is why I am getting my investments out of the american dollar.

    2.6 million viewers on average... and he had his teaparty 9/12 thing that had people singing his praises for how he was the only one to inform them of the truth (well, him and fox)... I can only hope that his last few weeks of absolute ruhtard paranoia (OnStar is spying on you) is going to have some of the people watching start questioning how "with-it" he actually is.

    great job!

    There is nothing I can do that will help anything if the government decides to print more money or tries to borrow more, but foreign investors require higher interest rates or don't lend at all.

    Also, I am not just moving my money into international investments, but rather I am planning to make investments that are not tied to the value of the american dollar. Such investments can still put money into our economy.

    edit:

    Also, I shall invest in a gun! As per metz's advice, he is totally correct. Gotta be prepared for possible zombie apocalypse or alien invasions.

    you crazy

    there's no way the amount of money this plan will cost is going to be enough to crash the dollar even if they just pulled a Mugabe and started printing the cash to pay for it.

    which they can't do legally anyway

    but if you're sure about this, I have an investment plan you might be interested in

    Oh, it's not just the plan, but the whole string of bailouts, ARRA spending, etc. The value of the dollar has already been dropping and some say the inflation rate is bound to start increasing. I am not really worried about the dollar "crashing", if it did we would be screwed anyways. Just that if my investments are in things that are directly tied to the american dollar, then I will lose a significant amount of my purchasing power.
