| John, we were talking about H.R.1, which is government takeover of state elections and how it's skewed to keep the Democrats in power. | |
| But while I have you, I feel like a guy who's ordering a second dessert. | |
| I would like to get a brief take on the $2 trillion bailout. | |
| Well, that may be the second worst piece of legislation I have seen in the last 40 years. | |
| Think about this. | |
| How many people do you know who have lost their jobs or had hours cut back and are struggling with paying their bills? | |
| I bet you and I both know a lot. | |
| Of course, yes. | |
| Did you know that government workers, who, by the way, even if they've been working from home, Haven't, you know, reduced hours, haven't suffered any cutback in pay. | |
| Did you know that this bill includes a $20,000 leave benefit because they've been on leave at home for federal workers? | |
| No, I did not know that. | |
| $20,000. | |
| Now, private sector workers aren't eligible for that. | |
| Just government workers for the pay. | |
| This is the seal of the corruption. | |
| I'll tell you what gets me. | |
| The bailing out of Democratic governors and mayors of the gigantic, irresponsible debts that they have created, and now they will be paid in paper money manufactured by the government. | |
| Yes, and by the way, Dennis, I forgot to mention that the worst part, in some ways, of the H.R.1, which we have to reference, is the free speech provisions. | |
| You will no longer be allowed to make anonymous speech or anonymous contributions, even if you contribute $5 to a campaign that's going to show up. | |
| We all know what happened in California, the supporters of Prop 8 a few years ago, which was over gay marriage. | |
| They were often intimidated and harassed, were fired from their jobs. | |
| It requires that nonprofits that contact government over a bill will have to completely disclose their activities and their donors. | |
| The ACLU, Dennis, which, as you know, has gone astray so badly, the ACLU filed a 13-page letter opposing H.R. 1 in its entirety because of its restrictions. | |
| Wow. | |
| Well, wow. | |
| There is some good news. | |
| John Fund, I wish we could continue. | |
| We will. | |
