Limbaugh endorses, claims Ron Paul economic plan

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh praised Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, on his show yesterday for producing economic and budget plan to cut government spending by $1 trillion, as Rush also claimed the ideas as his own.

Asked by a caller about the Republican plans for “governing once we take over in 2013,” Rush answered, “You’re not gonna believe my answer; Ron Paul has a good idea.” Paul’s plan calls for a $1 trillion spending cut in the first year and includes the elimination of five executive departments: Energy; Housing and Urban Development; Commerce; Interior; and Education.
