Limbaugh Says Low Gas Prices Are A Sign Of Weak Economy — Guess What He Said When Prices Were High

Limbaugh opened the January 20 edition of his radio program by purporting to let listeners in on the “dirty little secret” behind these low oil prices — a struggling economy. Limbaugh charged, “One of the leading, or primary, reasons why the price of oil is down, and gasoline, is demand. Demand is down. And the demand is down because the U.S. economy’s in the tank.” The reason “you won’t find very many experts acknowledge this,” he went on, is “because it contradicts the idea that the economy is roaring back.”
