More amazing is that he is on the air in 2 prime time slots. I watched him about 2 times over the past 3 years and he is a GIANT BORE!! He should be back on the radio where we do not have to watch him. Actually if he wants to be on TV, it is my understanding that the BOZO the CLOWN character recently passed away. Wow! Glen Beck could easily take over that role except that like many parents of small children, I would not let my children watch his show because I would be afraid that they might hear his half baked and clownish theories on the economy, race relations, running of the government, etc. His views show that at the very least Harvard or any other major University would not allow him entry into their schools. Umm...maybe he could go to Sarah Palin's old alma mater ...the Univ. of Idaho..naw..they wouldn't let him in either...maybe he could go over to Mexico to attend the Juarez Mexico University school of economics -- the Mexicans have a bunch of half baked economics programs like sending all their poor people here to live.

And that’s where most of our colleges and universities fail miserably.” Then he agrees that business' should be taxed fairly too instead of the economy losing 250 billion dollars every year in corporate welfare?! Hypocritical. Yes, but you missed a huge point!

Instead, they're covers for tax-free businesses that compete unfairly in the marketplace. That IS hypocrisy.

I'm not surprised that his facts on this matter are faulty. I've watched his show maybe a half dozen times since it started and frankly I'm amazed its still on the air.
