The Facts.
The Future.
The Fight To Fix America - Before Its Too Late.
In the words of Harvard economist Niall Ferguson, the United States is .an empire on
the edge of chaos.. Why? Glenn Beck thinks the answer is pretty simple: Because we.ve
turned our backs on the Constitution.
Yes, our country is financially broke, but that.s just a side effect of our broken
spirit, our broken faith in government, the broken promises by our leaders, and
a broken political system that has centralized power at the expense of individual
rights.
There is a lot of work ahead, but we can.t move forward until we first understand how
we got here. Starting with the American Revolution, Glenn takes readers on an express
train through 234 years of history, culminating with the Great Recession and the
bipartisan recklessness of Presidents Bush and Obama. It.s the history lesson we all
wished we.d had in school. (Did you know, for example, that FDR once made a key New
Deal policy decision based on his lucky number?)
Along the way, you.ll see how everything you thought you knew about the political
parties is a lie, how Democrats and Republicans alike used to fight for minimum
government and maximum freedom, and how both parties have been taken over by
a cancer called .progressivism.. By the end, you.ll understand why no president,
no congress and no court can fix this problem alone. Looking toward them for answers
is like looking toward the ocean for drinking water. it looks promising, but the end
result is catastrophic.
After revealing the trail of lies that brought us here, Broke exposes the truth
about what we.re really facing. Most people have seen pieces of the puzzle, but very
few have ever seen the whole picture.and for very good reason: Our leaders have done
everything in their power to hide it. If Americans understood how dire things really
are, they would be demanding radical reform right now. Despite the rhetoric, that.s
not the kind of change our politicians really believe in.
Finally, Broke provides the hope that comes with knowing the truth. Once you see what
we.re really up against, it.s much easier to develop a realistic plan. To fix ourselves
financially, Glenn argues, we have to fix ourselves first. That means some serious
introspection and, ultimately, a series of actions that will unite all Americans around
the concept of shared sacrifice. After all, this generation may not be asked to storm
beaches, but we are being asked to do something just as critical to preserving freedom.
Packed with great stories from history, chalkboard-style teachable moments, custom
illustrations, and Glenn Beck.s trademark combination of entertainment and enlightenment,
Broke makes the case that when you.re traveling in the wrong direction, slight course
corrections won.t cut it.you need to take drastic action. Through a return to individual
rights, an uncompromising adherence to the Constitution, and a complete rethinking about
the role of government in a free society, Glenn exposes the idea of .transformation. for
the progressive smokescreen that it is, and instead builds a compelling case that
restoration is the only way forward.
