Here is today's Rush Limbaugh basic K-8 math error, which keeps him and his audience from appreciating the fact that high gasoline prices have been pummeling the American people for one year longer than he says they have:
"The number of people losing their jobs is up. The number of jobs lost, all of this, is up. The one thing that none of these stories cover is another thing that's going on, and that is the price of gasoline has been over $3 a gallon for 20 months now. Now, Obamacare is gonna raise everybody's health care costs. Premiums are gonna skyrocket. The cost of food is way up. Gasoline is over $3."
----------------------------------------------------
Actually the number of people losing their jobs is DOWN and down big in the last 2 months to a rate low enough to compete with George W. Bush, if it can be sustained. Usually part-time is not up significantly, and usually full-time is almost back to where it was on Election Day 2008. The real story there is the failure of full-time to recover to the 2006-2007 level.
But gas has been above $3 for 1000 consecutive days, according to The Wall Street Journal, not 600 days:
1000
------ = 33 months (not 20).
30
He read it, he flubbed it, boo hoo. And you people pay for that?
