This was at a George Soros-funded think tank called ThinkProgress.  &#8220;Limbaugh Attacks Help Put Chevy Volt Workers Out Of A Job.&#8221; You didn\u2019t see that over the weekend?  Well, General Motors shut down Volt production until April because nobody\u2019s buying them.  And so to fit the meme that had been established last week, it\u2019s my fault.  And why is it my fault?  Because I\u2019ve made fun of the Volt.  It\u2019s not that the thing costs more than people could afford.  It\u2019s not that people don\u2019t want the Volt. It\u2019s not for any reason other than me and other media critics.  General Motors is saying me and other media critics have poisoned people\u2019s minds against the Volt. <\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaGMPuma.jpg\"\/><BR\/>I predicted before they made it that it was not gonna be something that the American people make a mad dash for.  There\u2019s no market demand for one of these yet.  But I\u2019m reminded of what Nancy Pelosi has said, that unemployment compensation stimulates the economy.  So the right way to look at this is if I have helped put the Chevy Volt workers out of work then that\u2019s really not the case.  These 1300 workers are getting unemployment checks and they can finally stimulate the economy.  The headline ought to be:  &#8220;Limbaugh Jolts Economy by Forcing Volt Layoffs.&#8221;  Folks, I\u2019m telling you, if you\u2019re brand-new to the program, Nancy Pelosi of the Democrat Party, the former Speaker of the House has said time and time again, unemployment checks, extending unemployment beyond 99 weeks stimulates the economy, people not working stimulates the economy. <\/line><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaGM585Volt.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Well, if they want to blame me for 1300 layoffs at General Motors, I\u2019m gonna take credit for stimulating the economy, using their own words.  The 1300 workers will get unemployment so they can finally stimulate the economy.  &#8220;Volt Layoffs Jolt Economy,&#8221; should be the headline.  The problem with the Volt is just like all of Obama\u2019s green energy, there\u2019s no business there yet.  There\u2019s no solar energy business yet.  There\u2019s no wind energy yet.  It\u2019s not there yet.  But we can\u2019t have more oil.  We can\u2019t have cheaper gasoline prices.  Newt says that Obama wants nine-dollar-a-gallon gasoline.  Newt says Romney doesn\u2019t care \u2019cause he\u2019s rich and could afford it.  There is a Republican election coming up soon, by the way, folks.  I\u2019ve forgotten when it is, but I know it\u2019s soon.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: There was this headline.
