Meanwhile... the Economy Is Tanking

RUSH: Washington, New York, Boston, wherever, and in London, they must be telling themselves that there isn't any real problem in the economy. They're doing okay. Everything where they live is fine. They see the number of 5.1% and they actually believe it. The disconnect here is profound, is my point. They don't understand. I think it's been a long time since the political class has been as woefully out of touch with the population of the country. I can't remember it being any bigger.
