I love Rush, but imo he avoids econ discussions because he gets in over his head. Witness the fact that he had to read I, Pencil just the other day. On the other hand, he might avoid econ discussions because he's decided his listeners tune them out.

Ya want an econ discussion? Listen to Levin.

I love Levin, especially when it comes to the Constitution and political philosophy, but when it comes to economics Stuart Varney or Larry Kudlow are better.

Rush does pretty good on economics considering he didn’t finish college and hasn’t studied economics. He clearly has a strong interest, is widely read, and I’m sure lots of smart people have privately tutored him. But you are right — he often gets in way over his head. Example: his explanation of work force participation rate is close, but not dead-on.

However his reach is huge and he does yeoman’s work in this area even if not always 100% right.

Levin read "I, Pencil" on Thursday. Rush did also?
