""It's a crapshoot. This is why I didn't stay in it very long. I never did, instinctively, understand why I should give people who had less money than I have my money to manage."

Thank God Rush escaped this guy.

“Thank God Rush escaped this guy.”

I think you are the one that missed the point. Look at the context, he was speaking of money managers such as Madoff working with zero accountability, not government officials subject to electoral review.

He then went on to make the point about “charlatans” controlling 12% of GDP in SS and having them pull something like this with that money and the disaster that would ensue.

He specifically used the word “crapshoot” meaning independent investments which of course are a gamble and should be. The word “crapshoot” is a direct contrast to SS which is a guaranteed annuity backed by the GDP of the United States. Limbaugh is actually being lucid here, that is why I was so surprised and started the thread to begin with.
