The fact that Beck acts the stupid "everyman" role is not in question... Or even that Beck cites historical facts ...often even accurately...
Its his conclusions that are hair brained...
Beck is like a psychotic person... who "seems normal" at first...
But slowly, slowly you start to realize that something is wrong with this person...
To the extent that Beck notes that the nation is doomed...that's fine...it is.
But the notion that International Capital and Wall Street are not at fault...and somehow government is evil and always to blame by some bizaare historical law that only Beck knows about...is just wrong...
We know this from the 1930's debacle ... And a few recessions and financial collapses since then...
Yes...Bad government is wrong...as Republicans prove to us every few years...
But good government along Progressive principals is why we don't have slavery and have child labor laws...and a bunch of other things like Social Security and Medicare...which everyone loves to hate...but can't do without...
International Capital has looted the US economy to the point of no return...so whether you get your gloom and doom from real academics and liberals... or, from the Fox cranks and crackpots makes no difference...
Its all the same deal...
