And they are the same assholes who deny we were ever in a recession during the Bush disaster. Remember the Bush Depression began in Dec 2007, and the pathological liars on the Right knew it then and proved they knew it when they refused to put money behind their claim that there was no Bush Depression.
Also pay attention to what the

says about debt and deficits while Bush was running up the debt!!!
Also pay attention to the rationalization the

gave for refusing the bet he knew he would lose. Only days before he had no problem with federal gambling laws!!!

RUSH: Now, the point here is this is
2008; this is three years ago. It's three years ago. Three years ago we're not in this economic mess. This is January 2008. We don't even know this economic mess is headed our way. We don't even know the calamity that's ahead of us

CALLER: I was hoping that I might make a wager with you and, to be fair, it was based on income. So
I'm saying that the economy is going to have a major recession to a depression, within the next two to three years -- and I base that belief on the housing market. A case where people are tapped out with equity; they've been living the good life, and now that spigot is shut off. Now they're going to credit cards and they're showing through the roof on defaults. I think it's just a matter of time before this house of cards collapses. What do you thinks? [sic]
RUSH:
Nope. I don't think it's going to happen. I've been hearing things like this my whole life.
I've been hearing the national debt is going to wipe us out. I've been hearing the annual deficit is going to wipe us out. I've been hearing the credit card debt and that people are not saving enough money, is going to wipe us out. I keep hearing that Social Security is going to wipe us out in 50 years unless we reform it.
I think that the country is built on far more than a house of cards, and
I wouldn't enter into a wager like this publicly because I choose not too violate federal gambling laws.

RUSH: By the way,
I want to renew a bet. I will bet my life's fortune against Algore's that what he predicts in 2030 will not happen...
I made this offer six months ago, and I'll make it again in future days
more wrong information equals deflection










It just kills you to see your MessiahRushie make a fool of himself.
Here is how the conversation went after the multimillionaire rejected the $500 bet he knew he would lose. Notice he blames the Liberal media, who it turns out were reporting accurately, for the caller's "doom and gloom!"

CALLER: (laughs) Yes, sir.
RUSH: (laughs) But what were you willingly to put on the line for this?
CALLER: I was going to put my $500.
RUSH: Five hundred dollars. Well, look, if you're right, you can't afford to lose $500.
CALLER: Well, I think that's so, but I think the money I'd win from you would be well worth it.
RUSH: Do you think a president can stop the slide that's imminent?
CALLER: No, Rush, and
I think the housing market this time is something like the country's never seen. It has never soared so high in the history, since they started keeping numbers. They can't compare it to any time in history except Japan, where it happened in 1984, and theirs is still coming down.
RUSH: Well, I'm amazed that people can take the news on a day like this. See, I think
you're being helped along by the context and the attitude in which all of this is reported: the doom and gloom. For example,
you make it sound like everybody who owns a house is going to go bust, because they're going to lose their equity in it, then they're going to turn to credit cards and they're going to get cut off from those and then they're going to be up a creek. Ninety-four percent of mortgage holders are making payments on time: 94%. Now, that might be better if it were 98, but the point is it's not 50. It's not 60. It's 94%.
So the roots of the so-called housing crisis, I don't think they're deep, and certainly it's not as bad as it's being portrayed.
