That is to say, commentator Glenn Beck.
H.L. Mencken once opined to the effect that, nothing was so injurious to certain ideologies than to fervently believe in them. That describes Beck to a "T" as he was howling for "small government" and libertarian virtue for a good ten minutes this morning.
HE complained at length about being "a successful business owner" (he owns a magazine no one has ever heard of) who couldn't plan for the future out of fear that the gummint was about to double his taxes or parachute social workers into the suburbs.
The fact that neither he nor I nor FORD MOTORS are considered good credit risks has nothing to do with his anxiety.
The is no policy to resolve Glenn Beck's fears, I recommend a liberal does of old fashioned miltown...something old timey for an affronted conservative.
Apparently, the eight years we've just escaped of libertarian utopianism wasn't enough for Glenn....in his mind there is a better purer form of economic catastrophe we could embrace if only we had a courage to do so.
Hence his disappointment, hence the need for downers.
