Every time I listen to Rush, I get a new bit of perspective on why things work, and why they don't.

Free market success creates jobs, and socialism kills jobs, ...and the people who need them.

Did anyone hear him talking about getting woken up by his cat this morning? Said he had to put is implants on to see if there was anything wrong.

My question, doesn’t he live with his wife anymore? Couldn’t he have asked her what was going on?

Rush is right, but we have a serious dilemna in our economy right now. We are mainly a service based economy and most people spend virtually all of their non work time (and some of their work time) on pastimes. The pastime market is absolutely saturated. There are no more hours in the day for people to spend more time wasting time.

So at one point a teenage boy would have been at a local cafe spending a few coins buying a soda and chatting with friends. Now he uses facebook. He may have watched some t.v., but now spends more time playing video games. So a new t.v. show will replace an old t.v. show. A new video game replaces an old video game. We never know what the next great thing is going to be, but the fact is, people are spending the vast majority of their time wasting time.

There is a cap to how many houses people can live in and we have already made more than that limit. There is a cap to how much food people can consume and we can easily produce more than that limit. There is a limit to how much entertainment people can consumed just by virtue of the number of hours in a day, and we have well superceded saturation.

Who knows what the next great thing will be. Perhaps something new will be invented that will drive a whole new industry. Maybe it's already been invented and is just catching on now and most of us haven't heard of it. But we may be at a point that without some sort of massive war, disease or disaster, the current economy may be the plateau.

As another former Sacramento guy who followed Rush’s career, this is interesting and puzzling.

Conservative media went from nothing to dominance in 24 years. Or at least competative with MSM for ears and eyeballs.

Yet we are still drifting leftwards.

All it did was polarize.

The independents still decide.
