Book Presentation: Broke by Glenn Beck

Book Abstract

America is today facing challenging times. National debt is spiraling out of control and progressives have gained the upper hand in both political parties. Whereas Democrats and Republicans once fought to be known as the party of minimum government and maximum freedom, there is now almost bipartisan fiscal recklessness no matter which party is in power.

All these problems have arisen because America has turned its back on what was spelled out in the Constitution and in the actions of first-generation American political leaders. Once this is understood, then the solution becomes easier to map out as well. We need to demand the kind of radical reform our political leaders are unable and unwilling to undertake because it may impact on their ability to get reelected.

To restore the American dream, we must return to enshrining individual rights as paramount, adhere tightly to the blueprint laid out in the Constitution and completely reengineer the role of government in a free society. It’s time not to storm the beaches but to move the nation forward by restoring and reinvigorating what America has always stood for and by uniting around the inevitable shared sacrifices which will be required.

Summary of Broke (Glenn Beck)

Part I – The Past is Prologue

History teaches the empires of the past always crumbled from the inside out and that very few people who were involved ever saw the end coming. That is the danger which is facing America today. America doesn’t need a foreign enemy – instead, we need to come face-to-face with the issue of America’s debt. We’ve reached the tipping point where national debt needs to be addressed before it spirals out of control. The country is broke and no amount of sugarcoating or hedging about this inconvenient truth will make it go away. The real battle to be fought today is with the laws of economics – and thus far, America hasn’t really faced up to what the problem is. The only way out is to choose to build up individual achievement levels and to insist on limited government and low taxes.

The way forward is as clear as it is difficult. As individual citizens, Americans need to:

Spend less on material items – like new televisions, cars, boats, etc.Save more – so we can all get out of the exorbitant interest charged on consumer debt.Expect fewer public handouts for anything we want to get done.Put more skin in the game by expanding our personal efforts to give to private charities.
