So that's what's wrong with the Chinese

Needless to say, I didn't listen to Limbaugh today, but I did miss this gem.
In an interview with conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, Bush said China should become "a society in which there's consumers. Because now they're a society of too many savers."


I'm sure with their growing world influence, trade surplus, and booming economy, they'll be quick to take Bush's advice.

  • Oh that we could get some savers in this country.

  • So they too can have a 10 Trillion dollar debt.

  • For brevity, I clipped the next two paragraphs where Bush said the reason they save is because they have no pensions or healtcare. (From the man who wants to privatize social security.)

    He also (almost drooling) spoke of what a market China could be if we could just convince them not to save and instead become "consumers."
