Limbaugh Finally Gets It
The Market Ticker ^ | Karl Denninger

Posted on 08/03/2011 4:55:33 PM PDT by Gritty

So this afternoon I'm going to the tag office to renew my vehicle tags, and I have Rush on the radio. I must have been touched by God or something, because just as I turned it on he started with a long monologue on how everything we've had for the last 20 years has been fake.

Cars, houses, flatscreen TVs, unlimited medical care for the poor, Medicare, etc, you name it - all fake.

Oh sure, the car, the TV and the doctor are real - you can touch them. But we never paid for them. We borrowed more and more money.

In short, Rush woke up to the reality of this:

Yes, he put a nasty partisan spin on it but you have to give the devil his due - he finally awoke from his long slumber. For the last several years I've wanted to smash the radio whenever he has gone on his "Republicans good, Democrats bad" mantra when it comes to deficits, taxes and spending.

Well, not today. Oh sure, today he had to say "Obama has been worse", but that's to be expected.

But he acknowledged - for the first time I've heard on his broadcasts - that what we've been doing, and are still continuing to do, not only hasn't worked but can't.

The people are waking up. Oh, it's slow, but they're doing it. And the small number who are awake and really, really *****ed off are going to turn into a very large number of extremely *****ed-off Americans in short order.

With good cause.

We've been sold a bill of goods in America...

What is this self important idiot talking about. Karl Denninger couldn't carry Rush's golf bag. First of all, who started this ball rolling against Obummer by declaring that he "Hoped he failed"? If I recall at the same time, this loser Denninger OPENLY VOTED FOR OBAMA.

You are an irrelevant putz Karl. Go away.

In the last month I have [finally] come to believe that the Obama administration is working towards making our money worth nothing.

I still can't figure out what the end game of their plan might be. But I really think that they want to level the field by making it so that while most people are waiting in line for their potatoes and toilet paper, some can go an buy the same for $100 or maybe even $1,000.00. But, how long will they hold out - or, how fast will they go through everything they have?

This guy passes right on by that the current crises belongs to Obama. Sure we’ve been spending on entitlements. And the debt had to be dealt with and the spending stopped. But Obama capped it off and brought on a crisis with stimulus, bailouts and Obamacare. This mess belongs to the marxist.

Great article and should be a must read for all citizens of the Republic. Only one of many quotable lines in the article: "Washington DC is full of liars, and nowhere are there more of them than under the Capital dome and in the wings to each side. Never mind the White House and the Treasury building next door."

Financial Armageddon is certainly coming soon.

1. Collapse of society and rioting in the streets.
2.??????????
3. Communist control.

4. Profits.

The bottom line is "this mess" belongs to all of us, as we are the primary one's the mess will be dumped upon.

The problem with people 'waking up' is when they realize how bad it really is - that we're BROKE - and broke NOW - not just for our grandkids but RIGHT THIS MINUTE - there might be a bank run - or worse...

That said, I'm betting the big crash won't come until after the election... but I could be wrong.

When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you...you may know that your society is doomed.

We didn’t create it. And we tried to stop it.

"We don't have time to wait for the future that never comes any longer; the wolf - the real one this time - is at the door."

Fantastic. A very well written article that lays out the problems facing America in a very straight forward logical manner. I know nothing of Denninger but I'll certainly be looking for more of his articles. Thank you for posting this.

First off, Karl, Rush bashes Reublicans all the time. I guess you don’t listen much. Then again, you probably won’t ever see this comment surfing ThinkProgress

iT is a mix is reparations, paying the US back for its jingoistic actions of the past ala Barry's daddy and a profound hate for whitey. At the end of the day with Barry it is not Marxism or some other grand idea he follows, it is pure hate. Same with his old lady. She wants the "slave owners" to pay and pay dearly.

What stupid people they have turned out to be. I'm not saying they are dumb. They are not. But what an amazing gift this first dark skinned fellow had. Right when we could look around ourselves and see that most of us really don't care what color someone is Barry came along. At a point in time most Americans did not look at skin color and make some assumptions about character or intellect. Barry came along and people handed him the golden ring. And he blew it. He has to go.

Hope I can stay up long enough to listen to Rush’s answer to this, if he thinks it important that is.

Let’s start a pool. Pick a date when obama will try to make it illegal to own gold.

Does this supercommittee have power over things other than the budget? For instance, can they put something in their recommendation that outlaws personal ownership of gold?

I should have put quotation marks around “we” - the people - will be the ones, in the final analysis, to actually deal with “the mess” created by “our” elected representatives over the last 30 years.
