Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck has a program called The Glenn Beck Program. On this program he states that “seventy percent of Americans get more money in benefits from the government than they pay in.” Glenn says that there should be some deep budget cuts implemented to bring the U.S. out of the recession. He says, also, that when this this happens, friends will be lost. He brings up Obama’s plan to pay unemployed for ninety nine weeks. This is keeping the time of unemployment still ticking. No one is going to work if they can get paid for not working. Glenn is pointing out that handouts from the government will not help and just increase the deficit in which we are in.

I agree with Glenn. Primarily when he says, “whose going to hire you after ninety nine weeks of unemployment.” If business owners were to think the same way, then the unemployment rate would never decrease. To give out more than seventy percent than paid in is to pay out more than you have. If you know anything about percentages, then you know that will increase our deficits. These policies and plans will hurt America and encourage workers to accept checks from the government. According to the Lawrence video I’ve commented on, more than half of America is for Obama. Could this be the same ones getting the handouts?
