RE :” Basic economics is in real short supply in Talk radio!!

I had to ping you to show an example of what they are teaching. I still listen to Rush but had to give up Hannity and Levin. They have a simple narrative they are selling and to sell it they have to write their own history. It goes :“Bush tax cuts ALONE saved the economy” This is repeated over and over and although I think they really mean upper income tax cuts and capital gains specifically, it is usually not clarified as such(which is problematic in itself because Bush tax cuts included removing many from tax rolls) .

Greenspan/Bush printing 2003 does not fit into that narrative. Obama/Bernake printing now and future inflation fits the Jimmy Carter 1970s narrative they are using so they dont mind warning us about that.
