Larry “The Cable Guy” Wingnut is what’s wrong with America: an ignorant prole spreading uberklass idiotology. The favorable reviews here are as illiterate as Right-Winget is mindless. Susan Jacoby’s “The Age of American Unreason” is a book about such socio-pathic narcissists’ favorite subject: themselves. Too bad they can’t read. They’d find out what the rest of the world knows: pinheads like Winget and his ilk are prime examples of why Amerrycaca is, as Merle Haggard puts it, “rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell.” The nation of Jefferson, Madison, Washington, Adams, and Franklin has become the nation of George Bush, Ronald Raygun, Al Sharpton, Jane Fonda, and Larry Winget. As such, it’s a nation that can no longer govern itself. Its only hope is to continue being governed more and more by multi-national corporations, which are increasingly run by other nations, none of whom are as incompetent as America, which is losing two wars at once because it can’t even beat a gang of camel jockeys.

This book is just another attempt by Winget to get rich off the backs of people who already have a tough time making ends meet. Buying his book is not going to fix your problems and it’s not going to make your bills and debt go away. What it will do is leave you wondering why you wasted the money, and it will leave HIM that much richer at your expense.
Seriously, watch the video here and see if you don’t agree that he comes off as a showman, something like the host of an infomercial trying to hock his wares. If you still have no doubt, go ahead and waste your money. Otherwise, for those with even a modicum of common sense, please save the money and do something more worthwhile with it. Winget is only out to get your money, not fix your problems.

Words are cheap! Larry gives no details as how to “get money” or to truly save money! Want to start saving money…don’t buy this book!

this is a tough talker and that is all – I am not broke because I want to it’s because jobs are not there in my community. this book was an easy read and it really said that same things my moma taught me…I don’t have the credit cards and I don’t have a 50,000.00+ job as well. Larry was interesting to read for a weekend read- but I would challenge him to walk in the working poor steps for a year-this book is worth you passing on – borrow from someone – don’t buy it- I am donating my copy to the library….which is a great place for resources-Larry is simply shocking you back into doing the basics- the bottomline is-there is not quick answer and you got to get back to the basics-save your money-what Pres. Bush told us to do long time ago

Larry spends a lot of time in this book talking about his cable TV show, Big Spender.
But then he says a great way to cut our expenses is to cancel our cable TV.
So how are we going to watch his show and learn from it?
