Glenn Beck: An Inconvenient Debt

I am a bit of fan of new Fox commentator, Glenn Beck. I thoroughly enjoyed "An Inconvenient Book" and I appreciate his energetic straight-talk on a variety of issues.

For all our concern about the economy here in Canada, we do not have anywhere near the troubles to be had down in the States. We may be a smaller country but I think that the Harper Conservatives have done a fairly solid job managing the economy, and providing a somewhat measured, albeit politically motivated, budget.

This Glenn Beck video is a sombre reminder about how sketchy this whole economic situation is becoming for the United States. It makes me think that St. Obama and his followers will be in for a bit of a rude awakening sooner or later, and hopefully sooner. Throwing huge gobs of money has never been a solution to troubles like this before and that's not about to change.

Unfortunately, everyone is tied to the American economy and Canada's unique position means we probably have the most to lose besides the Americans of course. I'm hoping cooler heads prevail.
