Today I heard Rush railing against T. boon pickens assertion about 700 billion dollar transfer of wealth. It seems that Rush had an issue about the word transfer as opposed to Exchange. He made a good point about the fact that we are getting something for the 700 billion. I was immediately bothered by his focus of rage toward that part of the issue. I wanted to call and ask him about whether he would feel better having that money spent on American oil, to American companies as opposed to Opec and Our nations antagonists. Fortunately, some guy called and did it for me. Rushes response was all over the map, he ultimately lost focus and never really addressed the callers point..... being that all things being equal , it's better to have the money trickling down directly onto American soil and businesses. I wonder what leads Rush to be more enraged by the "transfer" comment than the actual point made by T.boon Pickens. I am in favor of America being the winner in a world economy, not just being in a world economy. There is no honor in just participating. That's why all good conservatives should only be in favor of ,Either fair trade or Trade where we have the advantage, not some peter pan Idea of free trade. Capitalism is worthless unless we capitalize. Wow I never would have ever thought that I'd be to the right of Rush. By the way, I agree with him about 98.3 % of the time.
