March to Socialism: Out of Money
GLENN: President Obama was recently asked a tough question. Yes,
believe it or not they will happen once in a while. The interviewer, C
Span hosts Steve Scully, asking about soaring trillion dollar deficits
and said at what point do we run out of money? Here's what Barack Obama
said.
VOICE: You know the number's $1.8 trillion debt, a national deficit of
$11 trillion. At what point do we run out of money?
GLENN: Well, the way we print and spend money, I would expect President
Obama just to respond, well, we're not going to, et cetera, et cetera.
Here's what he said.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, we're out of money now.
GLENN: So the hang on. This is critical. The Messiah knows that we're
out of money now. That's weird, you know, that he's aware of that
because he's spending trillions of dollars. That's like going to the
mall and your wife is in the Prada store and you are like, honey, at
what point do we run out of money? And she's got all these purses and
everything and she's bringing them up to the counter and she's like, oh,
honey, we're out of money now. Why are we in the Prada store then?
Apparently Obama knew he said something that scenario at the Prada
store, something true but crazy. As Mr. Brilliant politician man, he
should have known you can't just say it that way. So he started to
backtrack.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: We're operating in deep deficits not caused by any
decisions we've made on healthcare so far.
GLENN: Okay. So that's your wife standing in the Prada store: Honey, at
what point do we run out of money? Oh, my gosh, we are I mean, we're out
of money now. But not because of any bad decisions we've made in the
past on buying purses or anything like that, no. It's not our fault, you
see. I love this explanation. Not caused by any decisions that we've
made on health, so far. He doesn't even consider that all of the other
spending has contributed to the problem of, you know, being out of
money. So in other words, this might be the first time your wife had a
purse she doesn't have a purse problem. She hasn't been spending money
on purses. She's been spending it on shoes. "Honey, we're out of money
now but not because of the purses." "Yeah, I know, but because you were
spending it on shoes." "Honey, we haven't been spending it on purses. If
I just buy enough purses, then we'll be okay."
Here's Barack Obama once again.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: This is as a consequence of the crisis that we've seen
and, in fact, our failure to make some good decisions on healthcare over
the last several decades.
GLENN: See, the problem with the deficit is we didn't have enough
spending over the past several decades on the right stuff. If we would
have only given away free healthcare to every citizen, visitor, illegal
alien, exchange student, maybe, then just maybe everything would be
okay. Is anybody buying this? How? I'd love an explanation. I mean, what
would have been a good decision in the past? Should we have bankrupt our
country back then? It's socialism. Socialism. Not happy with the speed
which we're destroying our country; we can do it even faster. Let's step
on the gas and accelerate right into that red brick wall at the end of
the road we like to call problem solved. What? We're not speeding out of
control anymore. Isn't it great?
VOICE: That was even more overwhelming evidence that we are destined to
be a bunch of socialist pigs very, very soon on the Glenn Beck program.
