I noticed after the debate last night, I did get home in time to watch the post-debate roundtables, the wastes of time on the Drive-By cable news networks last night, and I detected a theme. The Democrats are doing two things. They\u2019re bringing back, not the Iraq war, but the surge. Nancy Pelosi has issued a press release yesterday proclaiming the surge to be a total failure, on the same day that we\u2019re told we\u2019re about being ready to be able to turn over Anbar province to the Iraqis! <\/p>\n<p>Eleven out of 18 provinces in Iraq are soon to be turned over to the Iraqis, and yet the surge didn\u2019t work! The second thing that the Democrats, the commentators on the Democrat side, are really pushing is the economy. It\u2019s horrible, it is rotten, it is bad. Of course, the one guy on the Republican side that\u2019s going right along with them and echoing that sentiment is Mike Huckabee &#8212; and this whole notion of angst (panting) and uncertainty and fear about the future of the economy has got people on edge. And, of course, the Democrats, the Drive-Bys are eager for that impression to take hold because even though for the last eight years the economy has not been an issue that will have an effect on elections, because Bush was the president, all of a sudden, guess what\u2019s back? Iraq\u2019s off the front page, the economy is on the front page, and guess what? The economy is rotten. The economy is bad. Let me share some things with you. You can turn on any financial news network or read a newspaper, and you can find what you think are disasters in the making. The price of gold is way up. The price of oil is way up. Stocks are plunging, the subprime crisis, banks having to refinance with foreign money and so forth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"140\" height=\"276\" class=\"alignright\"\/>&#8216;Oh, my gosh, Rush! Look at people losing their homes, forecloses.\u2019 Ninety-four percent of all Americans are paying their mortgages! I\u2019ll just give you this in personal terms. Do you realize how cyclical all things economic are? Just like all things are cyclical in history, all things are cyclical in all of life. The idea of people in a panic over normal, since-the-beginning-of-time economic cycles is a little frustrating, and I want to try to do something about it. All of the panic-mongers try to make it sound as if none of this has ever happened before, and that creates panic. &#8216;Why, what are we going to do? We\u2019ve never seen this set of circumstances before!\u2019 Now, I know that there are new variables thrown in at all times, like the ChiComs and their economic growth, but these are all cycles and they\u2019re all cycles in all of life\u2019s activities. Nothing is new. The ChiComs may be expanding, but guess what? There are other parts of the world that are contracting. The EU is a nonfactor. I told you this a couple years ago. They\u2019re soon to fall behind the ChiComs in terms of economic output and competitiveness. <\/p>\n<p>So while the ChiComs are making up the balance&#8230; We\u2019re always going to have competition from someplace, and just because it\u2019s the ChiComs growing, it\u2019s actually a probably pretty good sign the ChiComs are growing because the more economic power that their people amass, the tougher it\u2019s going to be for the ChiComs to maintain a tight communist control on all areas of their society. It\u2019s not going to change any time soon; it\u2019s gonna take some time to roll out, but there\u2019s good, there\u2019s so much good on all of these things that happened, and nobody wants to try to find it. Everybody wants to focus on the negatives, start biting the nails &#8212; especially in an election year. Let me try to give you an example. I was 16 in 1967. When I got my driver\u2019s license, you know what the price of a gallon of gasoline was? Take a guess, Brian. You weren\u2019t even born in \u201967, so I want you to just take a guess. This is a very good example. What was it? Give me a wild guess. It was 28 cents a gallon in 1967 when I got my driver\u2019s license, my Pontiac LeMans. That was with taxes; that was with everything &#8212; and then there were gasoline wars, and sometimes the price would go to 25 cents. Stop and think about this. <\/p>\n<p>Now, granted, you know, I was working my first job, and I was making I think a dollar and a quarter an hour. It didn\u2019t matter. I was living at home. I gave my dad my paychecks, because I was 16. So 28 cents &#8212; and then we\u2019d get to the seventies and, of course, all hell broke loose. We had Nixon, wage and price controls. We had contrived shortages of oil. There weren\u2019t really any shortages. And guess what happened? The price of gasoline overnight doubled. It didn\u2019t go from 28 to 31 to 35 to 37, all of a sudden it was 50 cents, and that was a huge shock, a dramatic percentage increase. And then it didn\u2019t take long for it to get to a dollar, then we had the gas lines. We had gas stations open two or three days a week, alternate days you could go in based on your license plate depending on where you lived to gas up. We had people siphoning gasoline out of their neighbors\u2019 cars. People have forgotten that. And look where we are today after all of that! We are prospering like never before; we are affluent like never before. Yet, people who were alive during those days and experiencing it for the first time and the price of energy jumping like that, it was Panic City. <\/p>\n<p>But we don\u2019t learn that there was no need to panic. That was 1967. Now of course the gasoline figure, what, a little over three dollars a gallon since 1967? This is 2008. What is that, 40 years? That\u2019s not really bad, is it? From 28 cents a gallon to over three bucks a gallon in forty years, and yet look at the panic the Drive-Bys are able to inspire and instill in people. Despite this, we are booming. All of these cycles, up and down, do not kill us! We adapt and we prosper. Prices for everything will always increase; prices always go up. Phone bills get more expensive. Now, people are immune to it. You will have the introduction, say, of high-tech electronics at ridiculously high prices, but that\u2019s to recoup the R&amp;amp;D because they know there are suckers like me who will go buy the first version, and thanks to suckers like me who will go out and spend 1,200 bucks on the first Betamax, the price comes down to 200 bucks in a short period of time. These things happen to work, because markets work. People always want cheap stuff. Every holiday season (grave news announcer voice), &#8216;People are waiting here to find the best deal.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>When do they not try to find the best deals? News out of China, by the way: the Chinese global trade surplus, up 50% last year. Numbers came out overnight last night. So all this talk about boycotting ChiComs toys and so forth, it didn\u2019t happen. All the lead content, it didn\u2019t matter, because people want to pay as little as they have to for things. That has never changed. It does not mean that there are economic problems ahead because people, consumers, are trying to find deals. When have you not tried to find a deal on a car? The only exception is when you buy a house you love to tell people how much you spent for it. When you buy a car you love to tell people how you screwed the dealer. All of this stuff is just cyclical. It happens all the time. There\u2019s nothing new here. And guess what? Because people want low prices, we got Wal-Mart. We got Wal-Mart, and Wal-Mart is so successful, the Democrats are trying to destroy it. <\/p>\n<p>Why are they trying to destroy it? Because Wal-Mart has created a bond and loyalty to its customer base that Democrats want government to establish. Democrats want low-income people, middle-class people to look at government with the respect, the loyalty and love that they look at Wal-Mart with. (sigh) You know, I watch all this and have all these economic stories of people in panic and I cringe, because it just isn\u2019t necessary. I\u2019ll tell you, one of the things&#8230; See, the problem is that there are people &#8212; Madeleine Albright is one &#8212; throughout the US government who don\u2019t like the fact that we\u2019re the only world superpower, both militarily and economically, and they want to do everything they can to bring us down. There are some people, like Albright, who, would love the ChiComs to become a competing economic superpower because of their perverted view. Lacking the concept of American exceptionalism, they think the world would be more stable because they think the US is evil and that we need to be counterbalanced. This is a serious problem, and that\u2019s who\u2019s telling you things are bad.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: To finish off this business on the economy, there are a number of people in this country, folks, you\u2019ve seen them in action trying to secure defeat in Iraq. Madeleine Albright has said countless times, the Clinton secretary of state, that it\u2019s bad that we\u2019re the only superpower in the world because it promotes instability, it makes the rest of the world hate us. Of course, to believe that, you must not, if you\u2019re Madeleine Albright and other people like her, you simply cannot accept the concept of the US as the good guys. If you want there to be a competing super power, particularly a competing economic superpower and a competing ideological superpower &#8212; for example, if you want a country like the Soviet Union or the ChiComs to be a competing superpower, then it\u2019s ideological. So you want an enemy. You must not have the concept of the US as the good guys. You must believe that we\u2019re evil; you must believe that we are the cause of many of the so-called problems that exist in the world. These people are getting a toehold now on the economy. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.27070.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"297\" height=\"188\" class=\"alignright\"\/>There are people who want the US economy to become less important to the world and in the world, and the reason they say this, it\u2019s a very seductive reason. They say, &#8216;Well, if there was another competing economy, another competing financial center out there that could wrest control from us, then it would cushion our down cycles. But when we\u2019re the lone economic superpower, if we go down, the world goes down with us. That\u2019s not fair, Mr. Limbaugh. That\u2019s being egotistical. We must protect the world, forgot the short comings&#8211;&#8216; this is the new castrati-speak, by the way. &#8216;We must protect the world, Mr. Limbaugh, from the shortcomings of the US capitalistic system.\u2019 So they run around and tell people, &#8216;Yeah, it would be good if there were another major economy that would absorb the blows for the rest of the world when we have a down cycle.\u2019 Is that not perverted? You start allowing that to happen, we\u2019re eventually going to be eclipsed. If you think the economy is bad now, I mean, everything\u2019s a product of expectations. Only in the United States of America, where there is American exceptionalism and high expectations, could some klutz making a hundred thousand dollars a year whine about having to take public transportation. And he doesn\u2019t live in New York. No. A hundred thousand dollars in New York is one thing, a hundred thousand dollars, say in Atlanta, a hundred thousand dollars in Biloxi, is a different thing. <\/p>\n<p>Complaining and whining about a hundred grand and how the economy is forcing hardships on him. Only in America could that happen. And then, of course, ready to ride right in and capitalize on this is your Democrat Party, which wants to portray all of this misery as the result of George W. Bush\u2019s tax cuts for the rich, which, in fact, were tax increases for the rich. The rich tax increase went up, the amount of dollars they pay, top 1%, top 5%, top 10% up. Their rates may have gone down, but they\u2019re paying more of the income tax burden than ever before. So the Bush tax cuts were actually Bush tax increases. I\u2019m spending time on this because the Democrats, I noticed after the debate last night, just couldn\u2019t stop talking about how rotten and horrible the economy is. They\u2019re trying to take it off of a Pew poll that showed that 84% of the American people are very happy with their lives, very comfortable with their lives, but 70% of those same people said that America is heading in the wrong direction. How in the hell can that be? How in the hell can that be? It\u2019s precisely because, while 84% think things are hunky-dory, they think they\u2019re not for everybody else. They\u2019re hearing about the subprime problem; they\u2019re hearing about mortgage foreclosures; they hear that stupid comment from John Edwards that every night in America 200,000 people are sleeping under bridges or on grates, and that most of them are US military veterans. Flat-out lie. They hear all this, &#8216;Oh, that\u2019s terrible, in America, veterans, we must be headed in the wrong direction,\u2019 even though their own evidence, their own life\u2019s evidence is expressly counter.<\/p>\n<p>So let me just grab you this economic story I keep referencing here. Oh, and, by the way, the Washington Post also on the case here: &#8216;Economy Slumps to the Top of the Campaign Agenda.\u2019 But then on page two, they ask, &#8216;What is the economy? Different voters have different anxieties about the economy. For some, it may be jobs.\u2019 Really? Statistical full employment for how many months, years now? &#8216;For others it\u2019s housing.\u2019 Really? We have a housing crisis, a housing shortage. You try to find the good in everything. Do you realize that, as this housing bubble splits and the mortgage crisis goes on, do you realize what\u2019s happening in house prices? They\u2019re coming down, which is going to aid who? First-time home buyers. Yeah, it\u2019s not going to help existing home buyers, their equity may be awhile in returning. That\u2019s a cycle. It happens. Go back to the eighties. <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go back to the eighties again in oil. Oil got down to $10 a barrel in the eighties. Oh, that was great for consumers, domestic oil business. Bottoms up. Plant \u2019em dead and plant a flag because they had to cap all the wells. They couldn\u2019t make money bringing oil out of the ground at ten bucks a barrel. Great for the consumer. You think things have never been worse. Those of you who were alive, do you remember the Carter years? They were so bad we had a misery index to measure it, interest rates at 21%, inflation was, what, 14%. Jimmy Carter created the modern Islamic Republic of Iran with the Ayatollah Khomeini by getting rid of the Shah of Iran. You think things are bad now? They\u2019ve been much worse. The point is, we came out of it. You go back to any point in time, Great Depression, all these so-called recessions, look where we are now, better than ever. Every day in America is better than the day before. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.46684.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"365\" class=\"alignleft\"\/>Now, here\u2019s this story I keep referencing. It\u2019s out of the Los Angeles Times: &#8216;Public Senses an Economy Going South.\u2019 Dateline, Sedalia, Colorado. &#8216;The numbers stopped adding up some time ago, and every month, Shane Covelli gets angrier. He sells heavy equipment on commission, and construction firms aren\u2019t buying. Covelli has sold his Corvette, stopped taking his wife out to dinner, pulled his son from the ski team. He has withdrawn nearly $50,000 from his retirement accounts and started taking extra work, laying carpet and pouring concrete evenings and weekends. Still, he owes more than he earns, and he can\u2019t seem to fix it. &#8216;It\u2019ll take the country four or five years to dig out of this,\u2019 said Covelli, 44. &#8216;By then, I\u2019ll be bankrupt.\u2019 &#8230; In Atlanta, Bernadette Smith, 31, has watched her credit-card debt climb to nearly $40,000.\u2019 Yeah, she was sitting there minding her own business, folks, poor woman, just sitting there doing her best to make it happen in this rotten economy known as the United States of America, one day, while she was minding her own business trying to be a great citizen, the credit card bill comes in and, lo and behold, her credit card debt is 40 grand. She just watched it climb to 40 grand. She had nothing to do with it, according here to the LA Times. Just watched it climb. That\u2019s more than her annual take-home pay. What a sucky country. <\/p>\n<p>This is not fair, ladies and gentlemen. The woman\u2019s credit card debt magically enlarges to the point it\u2019s larger than her take-home pay? &#8216;She works 13 hours a day at two jobs. Once obsessed with the latest style of designer jeans, Smith now shops for clothes only at Wal-Mart, or maybe Target.\u2019 The embarrassment, why, the indignity. What a rotten country! &#8216;She has come to consider dinner at Ruby Tuesday a splurge.\u2019 This is embarrassing. These people, apparently proud to have their names in the Los Angeles Times, with these details attached. Just watched her credit card debt climb to nearly 40 grand. Has that ever happened to you Mr. Snerdley? You been watching your credit card debt every month, it comes in and gets bigger, you just watch it happen and say, &#8216;How did this happen? This is not fair; this is not right, now I gotta go to Wal-Mart?\u2019 The credit card debt goes up, you usually have something to do with causing it, do you not? You weren\u2019t just sanding idly by. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The faltering economy costs Leslie Garza, 18, nearly an hour of sleep each morning; her mom won\u2019t spend the gas money to drive her to downtown Los Angeles for her job scooping ice cream. So she sets the alarm early and takes the bus. Garza recently canceled her cellphone service to stretch her $450-a-week paycheck.\u2019 I tell you, what are we doing to our children, folks? What are we doing to our children? She\u2019s 18, and she has to get up an hour early to go scoop ice cream? Losing an hour of sleep in the United States of America! &#8216;Enoch Brown, 49, a data-entry worker in Atlanta, said his annual household income is about $100,000. Yet he\u2019s riding public transportation to work so he can save on gas and parking.\u2019 So? He\u2019s making an economic decision. Doesn\u2019t mean the country\u2019s horrible, doesn\u2019t mean the economy\u2019s in the dregs. This is the Drive-By Media, and this is what they want you to think. And, of course, they\u2019re trying to evoke sympathy for this. Now, some of you people waste money. We all waste money. Do you know what one of the largest areas of wasting money is? It\u2019s right in your own home. If you own a home, and you have one of these age-old conventional water heaters, the big tank, you are wasting your money. It\u2019s heating hot water you\u2019re never going to use. It does! And then half the time the hot water is not there, if you got guests in the house. <\/p>\n<p>You talk about wasting money, well, I\u2019ll tell you what you can do about that, you can get a Rinnai tankless water heater, that\u2019s what you can do. It\u2019s a little up-front cost, but you will stop wasting money because the hot water will only be there when you need it, always be there when you need it, but it won\u2019t be there when you don\u2019t. Would you still drive a Model A? No. We haven\u2019t changed technology on water heaters in homes in a hundred years or 80 years. You have to admit this is a brilliant transition. Not too many broadcast specialists can do this. They\u2019ve got a savings calculator on their website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foreverhotwater.com\/\">ForeverHotWater.com<\/a>. Folks, this really is revolutionary, you\u2019ll have all the hot water you need whenever you want it and you won\u2019t have it when you don\u2019t need it, and so you\u2019re going to save money like you can\u2019t believe. Just go to ForeverHotWater.com and see what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Now the economy.
