WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Feb 17, 2020

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Leftist intellectuals have a new economic model they're promoting. It's

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>called the D growth movement, and the people behind this

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>are on a mission. They want to change the belief

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>that economic growth is a good thing. That's right. According

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to these people, economic growth is bad. It's bad for

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 1>the earth, it's bad for society, bad for you. It'll

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>make the world a cleaner, nicer, more fair place if

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 1>we D grow the economy. To D grow, we have

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>to get rid of capitalism. We have to create a just, participatory,

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>ecologically sustainable society. Rich nations meeting America must downsize income

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and wealth must be redistributed. Now, this new economic model

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>is exactly the same as every other leftist economic model.

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:49.160
<v Speaker 1>The growth is just another name for socialism, and it's spreading.

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>The BBC has a big puff piece on D growth

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>as a solution to global warming. They say we should

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>work less, thus slowing down the global economy and curbing

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>our epic tight to consume more stuff because that's the

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>primary source of admissions. A shorter work week, they say

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that could save the earth. The D growth movement is

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 1>now they don't work movement. Now. You can laugh all

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>you want, but these people are serious, and their movement

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>is gaining traction worldwide. If you think the idea of

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>d growth is fringe, pay attention to what the Democrat

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>candidates are saying. It's exactly what they're proposing. Ending America's

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>growth is exactly what they want
