Rush Limbaugh: Economy Being Destroyed 'Under The Guise' Of Saving Lives

...with communists

 

[charsan]

Believe something from left wing nonsense let the rag huffpost, hardly they could not tell the truth if it depended on it

 

[Jeshu]

Not sure about the democrats plotting with communist, but it seems to me that economic disaster has indeed befallen us at this moment in time. Not to stop the virus, but to have it spread in such a way as to minimise the loss of lives, or that is what they tell us.

Nevertheless unless a vaccine is found those at risk will die from it sooner rather than later. We wrecking our economy buying time for those who are going to die from it most likely anyhow unless a vaccine is found.

It is going to take the tax payers decades to pay for this years losses. Lets hope it will have been worth it.

ummm for the billionth time, it's not to stop those from dying that would anyway, it's to stop people from dying like they are in italy, spain, and about to in new york, where they just can't do anything to help those dying because not enough resources to go around. 30% of people end up in the hospital, including young, everyone helped is potentially bumping another person that can't be. New york hospitals apaprently are looking at a Do not resusitate on corona virus patients.

Matthew 7:21-23 New King James Version (NKJV)
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Jesus was a big fan of economy over people as I understand it. That's why he rewarded all those moneylenders in the temple.

If he gets COVID-19, he won't be protesting very long... (He is being treated for lung cancer.)

 

[OldWiseGuy]

With all the money that's going to be borrowed and printed the economy will be just fine. There will be hyper inflation for a while but that will settle down as well.

He’s worked out of his own radio studio for ages; he’s practically he living incarnation of social distancing.

That’s what they said last time and it didn’t happen. There’s only hyperinflation if all that money goes into people’s pockets and they spend it all really quickly. What happens these days, though, is that banks just sit on it.

We are going to have incredible pent-up demand, and the ability to fill those demands. If demand for money is low interest rates will be low as well. I suspect that business will take full advantage of that which will kick start the economy. Remember too that there are many huge commercial and industrial projects on hold that will restart quickly when things cool down. I would like to see infrastructure projects get going when this is over. That would really boost the economy.

I know it's a dirty word here but businesses and industries must be protected from failure as it is they that will lead us out of this recession.

You're optimistic.

Which is one reason he feels like he can advocate for people taking on substantially more risk in the name of capitalism. He isn't the one taking the risk.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

You're optimistic.

I am.

 

[Ana the Ist]

I am.

Lol why? You trust that those in charge have a solid grasp of the situation and can handle it appropriately? Or that those at the bottom....the most vulnerable to economic disaster....will put their faith in the kindness and charity of their fellow man?

Yep.

We're all playing it by ear. The important thing is to have faith in the system that has served us so well in the past. There will be support for the most vulnerable. I think the stimulus will do wonders. There will be money everywhere. As soon as the testing thing is resolved people are going to go back to work.

I'd like to think so...

My only big concern is that if you're wrong...and this is an extremely precarious situation...no one is going to tell you. You'll have to figure it out on your own.

Weird there wasn't a similar complaint about "all the money" that was "borrowed and printed" to fund tax cuts for the ultra wealthy. Or the predicted effect.

That is only because the ultra wealthy are very responsible spenders. They did not waste that money on items like food and rent.
