9. This country is probably more conservative than it's been since the 1920s, economically speaking.

Socially speaking, I think we continue to improve, but our economic system has been very regressive starting at around 1980.

I don't think social issues are very important to people like Rush. They just use them to keep the rubes voting for them. They are much more concerned about their money. So I don't really know what Rush is lamenting here. The wealthy in this country are wealthier than they've ever been and he is a part of that class. They have a Republican controlled Congress and a Democratic president who is willing to play ball with them on the TPP, an agreement that will probably only further entrench the wealth of the 1%.

Why the long face, Rush?
