Greetings, my friends, and welcome back, Rush Limbaugh firing on all cylinders and more.
Guided here by a working philosophy taught to me by George Toma, the official groundskeeper for the National Football League.
He was the groundskeeper for the Kansas City Royals and Kansas City Chiefs when I worked for the Royals in the late 70s through the early 80s.
Saw George at the Super Bowl in Miami.
During the pregame, I'm upstairs in the press box.
I look down, and there's George Toma.
The head honcho of the whole ground currently is on his hands and knees.
And that's pretty high.
I can't say what he's saying.
He's on his hands and knees, walking by uh uh traipsing the uh Buffalo Bills bench area.
And uh bills are out there and they're throwing there, it's a pregame.
So uh I went down to the field with Steve Sable of NFL Films and I ran and said, Joe, what are you doing?
So the Super Bowl.
It was artificial turf at the time.
He had tape, he had duct tape on his uh hands and his knees, and he was getting lint off the field.
Lint, that no TV camera would ever see.
It wasn't high definition back then.
I said, what does it matter?
He said, We always do everything we can, and then a little more.
The guiding principal of the EIB network.
Friend of mine just sent me a quote from Eric Hofer.
Eric Hoffer was uh uh awarded the uh presidential, what was it?
Uh Presidential Medal of Freedom, February 83 by President Reagan.
And he uh my friend said that I was reminded of this quote listening to your brilliant monologue on the Democrats and how they are portraying this country around the world.
The quote from Eric Hoffer is this there is a tendency to judge a race, a nation, or any distinct group by its least worthy members.
Though manifestly unfair, this tendency has some justification for the character and destiny of a group are often determined by its inferior elements.
This is uh this is I don't want to be grouped with the Democrats.
I don't want people around the world thinking that I'm one of them.
I don't want people around the world thinking I'm one of them or their supporters or these fringe leftists.
They are giving the country a bad name.
They are giving the world an entirely different perspective of what this country is really all about.
They single-handedly are doing it.
They are costing the country big time.
They are making victory more difficult.
They're doing it on purpose.
Uh, and it is we we're paying a price in a number of ways.
We keep hearing about America's image in the world.
What pray tell who pray tells really responsible for that?
To the extent that this country looks like it's out of control and melee's uh uh to the extent that the people of this world think that we have uh our own Adolf Hitler running the show here.
Who is responsible for this impression?
Because the characterization of George W. Bush and the characterizations of the greatness of this country are not theirs.
Their characterizations are this is a country on its last leg, soup line America, we got Hitler running our country.
That's the image the Democrats and their allies, the drive by media present to the world.
Moving on here, uh ladies and gentlemen.
Little noticed story.
I did the morning update today on this little noted story recently uh from Mrs. Clinton, presidential candidate and front runner for the Democrat nomination.
She was speaking to college students.
She promised to create a new layer of government.
She promised that if she were elected president, she would create a national academy to train future government workers.
I'm gonna be asking a new generation to serve.
I think just like our military academies, we need to give a totally all paid education to young men and women who will serve their country in a public service position.
Most of the people, I mean, I could be wrong about this, but if you ask the largest single group of employees in this country probably work for state and local governments and the federal government.
We probably have more people working for government in some capacity than any other quote unquote industry.
And yet it's not enough.
We also have the Ivy League, which trains young skulls full of mush liberals to come out and infest these bureaucracies in the government to insulate liberals from election defeats at the ballot box.
But of course, the Ivy League costs a lot.
Mrs. Clinton wants your three-year-olds and she wants your four-year-old, she wants to take over preschool from private industry, have the state run it so she can institute her liberal re-education camps.
Now she's proposing a virtual new layer of government, a national academy to train future government workers.
This is not idle chatter.
I mean, this proposal, you you can just see these uh liberals out there in their hearts quivering with pre-orgasmic delight.
Now, the the the mission of the founding fathers of this country and the purpose of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights was to limit the power of government.
Ever since then, liberals have been doing everything they can to grow the size and power of government.
And giving a totally all paid education to hordes of young liberals so they can pursue a life in government means the era of big government will never die.
Now, despite her nod to the military academies, Mrs. Clinton's purpose is not to serve America, ladies and gentlemen.
Her purpose is to serve her ideological ambitions.
At her command will be a young, totally paid-for army of liberal bureaucrats ready to infiltrate every crack and crevice of government.
From now and forevermore.
This is her version of FDR's new deal.
Social Security, all of these things designed to empower Democrats for years by creating as much dependency in the general population on government as possible.
This is to take a bunch of young skulls full of mush, get them in these academies, teach them how to be liberal bureaucrats so that government is their life.
A liberal empire is what she envisions.
Uh implementing the liberal agenda when her party is in power, sabotaging her political enemies when her party is out of power, much as we have seen sabotage of the Bush administration from unnamed sources leaking all kinds of things from the Pentagon, from the State Department, or from the CIA.
This, folks, is a is a Trojan horse proposal.
Mrs. Clinton knows the story of the Trojan horse very well.
Oh, this sounds wonderful.
Public service, serving your country, working to make yourself a good citizen, serving others, and giving of yourself and giving back.
Oh, it's so wonderful.
But it conceals diabolical warfare within.
Because inside the Trojan horse is an army of uh indoctrinated young people who will infiltrate all of these various levels of government under the auspices and instruction of the no doubt very liberal professors and teachers that will populate these academies.
And given what Mrs. Clinton is planning to do to the country, it is no surprise that she's got a Trojan in her pantsuit pocket.
Your guiding light.
Times of trouble, confusion, murkiness, pestilence, bowel cancer, melanoma, torture.
Humiliation, and yes, even the good times.
Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone to the phones.
We go, Jesse in Houston.
This guy was in Afghanistan when I was there, uh, and uh has a report.
Hey, Jesse, how are you?
I'm doing fine, sir.
How are you?
Never better, sir.
Glad you called.
Thank you.
I just got back.
I've been home for two weeks now, and I'm gonna tell you one thing.
The base that you were at was in Kendar, and uh that's where I was.
He went to visit it there.
I did not get a chance to see you because, you know, security restrictions and everything, they did not let us know you were there.
But basically you were there for the troops.
We appreciate it very much, sir.
And I'm gonna tell you one thing.
That base, right now, you ought to see it now.
It has expanded, it has grown, and we have number one top-notch military forces there.
And that's all I got to say about that.
And and they are victorious.
They're working they're winning.
Very much so.
Very much so.
You know what I'll tell Jesse what amazed me.
I had never been to Afghanistan.
I'd never been to any place like Afghanistan before.
Uh It totally changed my view of poverty and struggle and uh and this sort of thing.
Uh I I the the U.S. military installations I saw, like at Kandahar.
Well, where these women lived right now about women flib and everything else, they need to go over there and see how those people live and see how those people are being treated, and tell me that we're not making a difference over there.
Yes, we are.
We're making a big difference, and I'm so proud to be an American.
I I love hearing this is how every one of you guys that I ran into over there was.
You were there because you loved your country, you were there on a mission, uh, and uh and and you uh uh very, very, very just I didn't find anybody, didn't want to be there, didn't find anybody was there because they had to be there, didn't find anybody that was upset.
Um sure there were people upset, but I I didn't run into them.
But what I was gonna say was the U.S. military installations that they build, the temporary installations for housing and so forth, the water treatment systems, the uh the HVAC, were thousands of years ahead of how average Afghanistan people live.
It was the most amazing thing to drive through Kabul.
We would uh we would go in convoys of multiple SUVs.
We had security people in every one, and the uh the convoys did not stop for anything.
People, red lights didn't matter.
And that it was uh you you zigzagged behind and in front of the uh behind the uh SUV uh you were trailing uh and uh the SUV behind you is doing the same thing, so everybody was constantly a moving target.
This stirred up a lot of dust, the main dust like crazy.
I'm looking out the window, and there are Afghanis, uh, with their outdoor markets, food, uh sides of beef, goat, whatever it was, just hanging uh dust all over it.
Just it just it just it was um it was mind boggling.
Uh uh I I just uh had a whole whole new uh appreciation for it.
But I met a lot of great people over there.
Jesse, it's great.
Uh great for you to call, and it's wonderful to hear your uh your attitude about that.
All right.
The spat between Mrs. Clinton and Barack Obama.
Uh you know, last time something like this happened, it was a spat between Edwards and uh Elizabeth Edwards and uh and Hillary, in which Elizabeth said, My husband's more of a woman than your man is than you are, Mrs. Clinton, because she he cares more about women's issues and does more about it than you do, and blah, blah, but little country attempts.
And Bill Clinton had to go on Good Morning America in sort of a demeaning appearance to defend his wife's femininity didn't quite pull it off.
Now he's out there having to defend his wife against what Obama said.
Um it's being reported that that that Bill uh sides with Hillary, but you tell me, you listen to this.
This is yesterday in Nashville, and this is Clinton talking about the Hillary Obama riff from the debate uh in which Obama said he'd meet with all the thugs of the world as president.
Hillary said that was naive.
This is what Bill said.
I don't want to get in the middle of that little spat Hillary and Senator Obama had.
But there's more than one way to practice diplomacy.
You can make up your own mind about that.
The thing point I want to make is that they and all of our other Democrats had a vigorous agreement on the big question, which is should we have more diplomacy?
The answer is yes.
Then you can parse their answers to the specific questions, decide who you think is right.
Now it's being said that uh Bill Clinton rode to his wife's rescue.
It doesn't sound like that to me.
It sounds uh I don't want I don't want to get in the middle of that little spat Hillary and Obama.
But then he plunges right in and doesn't defend her.
Uh uh there there's more than one way to practice diplomacy.
I'll give you that.
Uh Obama could be right.
Uh, Hillary could be right.
Uh the thing they both say we need more diplomacy and that's thing, and then you analyze and parse after that and decide who you're folks.
This is the second time here.
We do not have a ringing endorsement from the former president regarding his uh his wife.
Uh this is uh this is funny.
It's fascinating.
As well, ladies and gentlemen, John Edwards into the recording studio, continuing his spat with Mrs. Clinton over who's more of a woman.
Well, is it a secret that uh that Hillary Clinton is a woman?
Isn't it?
Well, that's like I've always said she puts her pants on one leg at a time like all the other guys.
Last night on CNN situation room, Wolf Blitzer talking about Hillary's cleavage with uh Democrat consultant Stephanie Cutter.
Uh Wolf said, uh You're a strategirist and a PR expert.
Do you acknowledge that when Ann Lewis writes a letter like this, a fundraising letter, and puts it out on a Hillary Clinton website, that's going to generate even more discussion of cleavage?
Is it a secret that she's a woman?
Is it a secret that you know she she's running for president?
These is not a legitimate issue in the American people's mind.
I think what it does reflect is that there was significant outrage amongst female voters across the country, whether they're liberal or conservative, because I don't think this story was liberal conservative.
I think it was just stupid.
Yes, and it was in the Washington Post, uh House organ B for the Democrat Party.
Let me say what outright Well, no, there is some out there.
There's some outrage among the Feminazis, Mr. Snerdley.
The general female population, I don't think is revved up about this, but oh yeah, the Feminaz are demanding stories on the views of the male crotch.
Uh male politicians and their crotches.
They are, there aren't there.
If this, you know, fair's fair.
We're going to just look at who's responsible for this.
Who's responsible for this?
This is not difficult at all.
Clinton's responsible for this because every day of her life she wears a Mao jacket.
I don't know.
Nine out of ten days, she wears something that covers herself all the way up to the neck.
Then Elizabeth Edwards comes out and says, uh, what she said about uh uh women and uh femininity and so forth, and all of a sudden Hillary shows up on the Florida Senate in a costume that the nation is unaccustomed to seeing her in.
And why?
Because it had a compared to a Mao jacket, it had a plunging neckline.
Well, of course, when you have shallow uh uh culture columnists and and fashion columnists in the major newspapers are gonna notice this.
Presidential campaign are gonna write about it.
They're gonna want what's with the cleavage here.
And the Clinton campaign secretly likes this, ladies and gentlemen, because it allows them to portray her as a victim.
Oh, look at they're knocking the girl again.
They're hitting a girl.
This is bad.
Uh Mrs. Clinton can't do anything without being criticized for it.
Let's get a fundraising letter out.
And uh they love all of this.
This is uh this is uh entirely within the Clinton modus operandi.
Uh also known as the M.O. for those of you in Rio Linda.
It could also be this, folks.
We never know.
There's so much going on behind the scenes we don't know.
It could well be she dressed that way on the Senate floor because she had a hot date that night.
We'll never know.
Yes, uh happily and gladly so.
The uh making it complex understandable here on the EIB network.
We better not leave Obama out of this uh presidential uh segment here.
This is from the Washington Times today.
Senator Barack Obama striking a delicate balance to capture black voters, but avoid becoming the stereotype that has sunk past black hopefuls for the White House.
Well, now, let's see.
How many of those have there been?
How many past black hopefuls have there been for the White House?
There has been the uh uh Reverend Dax.
There has been uh Carol Mosley Braun.
She ran into Primarys once.
There has been the Reverend Sharpton.
Uh who is the who is the Oh, yes, Alan Keys.
Shirley Chisholm.
Did she did she ever run for president?
Shirley Chisholm ran for president.
Well, you throw her out, and you throw out Keys because he's a Republican, and you actually throw out Carol Mosley Braun because she didn't go any.
Basically, what this story is saying, uh, when they say Senator Barack Obama striking a delegate balance to capture black voters, but avoid becoming the stereotype that has sunk past black hopefuls.
White uh it can only mean can I can I translate this sentence for you?
Senator Barack Obama striking a delicate balance to capture black voiders, but avoid becoming perceived as a justice brother.
I mean, this clearly says that he's doing everything he can to avoid being perceived like the Reverends uh Jackson and Sharpton.
The uh Illinois Democrats running ads in South Carolina to shore up support among black voters, he told a black audience Friday his election would create a transformation of U.S. race relations.
However, political analysts and prominent black leaders observing the primary race say Mr. Obama has not locked up the black community's vote.
That's well, we've been telling what do you mean you don't need analysts for this?
We've been telling you this for months.
He's not yet perceived to be down for the struggle.
He doesn't have roots to the struggle, the civil rights struggle.
Uh political consultant Morris Reed, managing director of the Weston Reinhardt group, said he's not running for president of black America, but for all of America, but he has to be particularly sensitive not to lose out on this crucial voting block.
Most African American candidates running for president thus far have not had such a mainstream message.
Uh see, th this is bogus.
There's nothing mainstream about Obama's message.
He's a full-fledged tax and spin liberal.
And he would have the U.S. surrender in the war on terror.
Mr. Obama's a much different candidate than the Reverend Sharpton who ran in O4 of the Reverend Jackson, who ran twice in the eighties, Mr. Reed said he would be wise to continue trying to be a candidate for everyone instead of getting pigeonholed as the candidate only concerned about minority rights.
Mr. Obama mastered this idea by giving a non-answer to a question about reparations during last week's debate, Mr. Reed said.
If you want him to do what Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson did, you don't want him to be a winning candidate, Mr. Reed, who is hosting a fundraiser soon for Mrs. Clinton.
The expert they went and found to comment on Obama is hosting a fundraiser for him.
You gotta love this.
All right, Frida in Los Angeles.
I'm glad you waited, Frida.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Frida.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, hi.
Hey, Frida, how are you?
Fine.
How are you?
Never never better.
Listen, I'm um I'm a Middle Eastern and uh American by choice, uh and uh an ex-feminist and a liberal.
Uh anyway, I just want to second the uh the caller that we had before regarding the American forces making a difference in Middle East.
It is it is true.
Uh this is going the Middle East is not going to be the same again because of American forces.
We should not what Middle Eastern's actually hate, they hate the Hollywood culture, but not the American values.
And this is what our media does not show that.
Um average I lived in Kuwait, I lived in Iran, and I know how people think there.
Um and and and I and what our media wants to treat this is as a Hollywood movie.
They think the war has to be ended in in a couple years with happy ending.
It's not going to be like that.
And we are making a big difference, and and I just want to you your callers to hear from the Middle Eastern background that what an average person there thinks.
I think if you call if you talk to any Kurdish person, if you talk to any average Afghan people, they're very grateful for American uh help.
I know.
I d I ran into some.
I didn't talk to a lot of Afghanistans.
I mean, I not nearly enough to form a scientific uh analysis of it, but uh, they were they were they we drive by these convoys and and they'd wave uh some of them had American flags.
It was it was uh uh it was obvious they want our presence there.
Scared to death we were gonna leave.
And exactly, and if you go to uh the Curtis area and which is one third of whole uh Iraq, if you go to any Kurdish uh home, you'll see the flags you even see.
I mean, at one point there's some babies that they were born, they were calling them George, but the media does not want you to hear that.
Um that's all.
That's all I had, and I just want to thank you because um you have it.
I used to hate you actually when I started listening to you at that when I was a liberal, but you did make a big difference in my thoughts and how I developed to become a conservative and an approach.
Um I was in Iran during the revolution, and I was a little fortunate or ex feminized as you would uh say it, but you turn me around.
So I want to credit you and people like Dr. Laura and um and I love this country.
I love the Dr. Laura is giving Dr. Laura's not doing that much.
Let's let's just kidding for I'm just just in playful mood today.
I I know so but I I um again, you know, there's uh people say that there's an anti-American sentiment in the world, but every uh embassy, any embassy, if you go to a Middle East, you'll see the lines for American embassies the longest.
I know.
You know what?
That's that's an excellent point.
This is this myth that we've lost our reputation in the world, and the you know that that's just that's more propaganda from the left leftists in this country and the Democrats as they continue to try to destroy the American people's own opinion of their own country.
Well, you says great.
You you uh you're you're great.
I am so happy that you called.
I you thank you thank thank you very much for what you said.
You know, she said something that uh you know many people think that uh uh it may be a partial factor that that uh the Islamo fascists, the Al Qaidas, and so forth, uh uh despise the decadence of America.
These the these are these are you know devout holy rollers in their religion.
And it is said that they get their view of American decadence from our media, from Hollywood, MTV, uh Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, this sort of thing.
I think there's a little bit of that, but I wouldn't rely totally on that as the reason why these people despise us.
This is it it is really religion-based, and it's simply the fact that this this militant sect of Islam really believes that anybody doesn't believe the way they do is ordered to be killed by their God.
It doesn't matter whether they move make uh dirty movies or what if they if they are infidels in any way.
You you could be the president of Chamber of Commerce.
And you have not done one publicly immoral thing in your life, and they're still gonna kill you because you're not one of them.
And that's the primary reason that the the that that uh they're motivated, and that's the hate that they are raised with uh from young ages that sends them out uh uh on these on these suicide missions and so forth and so on.
Uh because one thing that we know is not gonna change.
I mean, if if if if if getting rid of decadence in Hollywood is necessary to win the war on terror, we're cooked.
Well, isn't this just rich?
House Democrats are going to put together uh uh what is being called an impeachment investigation.
Uh we're gonna move this forward.
I predicted that this would be part of their battle plan back in 2004 if they lost the presidency.
So they want to put together some panel to uh do an impeachment investigation to see if it is warranted.
They also want to try to file perjury charges against Alberto Gonzalez, but even Ruth Marcus, who is a you know, a lib columnist for the Washington Post writes that this there's there's not there's no it doesn't fit the statute.
There's this is a waste of time.
This is purely political.
There was no perjury.
Uh it doesn't matter.
The facts, reality don't matter.
This is just Democrats' playbook weaken the country, weaken the presidency, destroy our attempt at victory in uh in Iraq.
Uh people aren't gonna put up with this much longer.
Even Ruth Marcus warns the Democrats look at if you guys keep going in these investigations and there's no smoking gun, there's no smoke.
If there's if there's no crime here that the American people can understand if there's if it's if it's if it's something when he convoluted things that is uh ambiguous, you're gonna lose big in this.
This is Ruth Marcus basically saying this in the Washington Post today.
If you got a absent of smoking gun, this is gonna be perceived as purely what it is, and that's politics.
There's this story, actually it's a column, John Tierney in the New York Times today, the whys of mating.
Uh why we have sex.
237 reasons and counting.
Uh this is also um reported in uh in a story at Live Science dot com.
Two hundred thirty seven reasons to have sex.
Folks, this is not that complicated.
There's basically one reason.
Well, for me, maybe two for some of you.
But I mean why do a survey on this?
Well, I got I got some of the list.
Some of it's come up, some of interesting.
People have sex for more than two hundred reasons, ranging from I was bored to I wanted to feel closer to God to I wanted to get a promotion.
According to a new survey, researchers asked more than 400 men and women ranging, and they did this University of Texas, Austin, uh ranging from 17 to 52 years of age to identify the various reasons why people have sex.
Then more than 1,500 undergraduate students were asked about their sexual experiences and attitudes.
A top three reasons for having sex, I was attracted to the person.
I wanted to experience physical pleasure, and it feels good.
The combined results showed 237 sexual motivations, which the shrinks, David Buss and Cindy Meston of the University of Texas Austin sorted out into four major factors and 13 subfactors.
There are the physical reasons.
Well, it reduces stress, seems like good exercise.
I want to improve or expand my experiences.
I was curious about it.
And the physical desirability of a partner.
Goal-based reasons.
Practical considerations, I wanted to have a baby.
Social status, I wanted to be popular.
Revenge, I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease.
All of these reasons were that came up as why people have uh sex.
Then there were the emotional reasons, love and commitment.
Uh I wanted to feel connected, expression, I wanted to say thank you.
But the most interesting thing in this to me, there has been, and this is according to results here.
There has been uh a stereotype out there about women.
And the stereotype is that that women uh use sex to gain status or resources.
You know, the casting couch thing.
You know, women, you know, rise to the top, and the stereotypes been, well, who'd she sleep with?
Turns out, according to this survey, men do that far more than women do.
Our findings suggest that men do these things more than women, said Dr. Buss.
Uh they had sex to get things, like a promotion, a r a raise or a favor.
Men were much more likely than women to say they'd had sex to boost my social status.
Uh one of the things they found was that that uh men feel they can boost their social status if they succeed in mating with a um woman that they think is out of his league.
Uh Dr. Buss said, although I I knew that having sex has consequences for reputation, it surprised me that people, notably men, would be motivated to have sex solely for social status and reputation enhancement.
Now that's the thing about, you know, having sex somebody you think's out of your league.
That's the but then you gotta brag about it, because who else would know?
Yeah, that's not cool.
Um but what I uh you know I hate to be naive and ignorant here, but I have to say, what what in what sex to get a promotion?
From a man's standpoint, from a from I know that tur this this I know that's what I was gonna say.
This turns this whole sexual harassment thing upside down.
Uh sex to get a promotion?
Uh sex to get a raise.
Sex to get a favor.
Well, that's yeah, see, that's what the thing I'm wondering about here.
Uh since since there aren't that many female bosses out there, how in the world does this work for men?
How do you go out there and have sex uh oh.
Never mind.
The boss is a guy, I get it.
All right, that's why it wasn't computing here.
Uh uh Will in Bristol, Rhode Island.
Welcome to the uh EIB network.
Nice to have you with us.
Mr. Limbaugh, hyperdiddos from the Blue State trenches of Rhode Island.
Thank you, sir.
Great to have you with us.
So about that uh New York Times editorial.
Um I actually have a couple of thoughts about this.
From a public policy standpoint, I think it's great.
It reaffirms what we've known and have faith in for you know years, through thick and thin, you know.
But I'm talking about you're talking about this op-ed yesterday by these two guys from Brookings saying that the surge is working.
Yes, yes, I am.
I mean, it finally, if if they admit it, that has to be, you know, going right.
But from a journalism standpoint, I'm by the way, a student journalist, you know, so I we talk about the New York Times and of course declining, you know, sales over time.
Nothing to do with their ideology, of course.
No, no, of course not.
It's the stupidity of the readers who don't realize what a great publication it is.
Exactly.
Um, I have some fears about this.
I'm gonna run them by you.
My first fear is that this is going to be a disturbing trend.
Um, I mean, we we like to see it, but I'm afraid this is gonna have help bring sales up and put more legitimacy.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't panic.
This this is not the New York Times writing this.
This was not the editorial board.
This is not a New York Times journalist.
This is a couple of wayward scholars who have lost their way.
They were not writing for the time.
The Times can they guess, yeah.
We threw that in there, a little balance and so forth, uh, keep the critics off the back.
There may be a little bit of that, but no, no, no, no, no.
This was not the Times writing that.
And um, you know, whoever commissioned this thing, we don't know if they still have a job at the Times.
I know.
You know this cleavage thing with Hillary, it's uh much ado about nothing.
I bet you Bill Richardson has more cleavage.
Yeah, maybe Bill too.
I don't know.
Get this.
Get this, folks.
This from USA Today, aging U.S. population at risk for eye disease.
Really?
Blindness, ladies and gentlemen.
More than forty-three million Americans.
We'll develop age-related eye diseases by 2020.
Oh no!
And the majority of those who are most at risk are unaware.
Medical costs of skyrocketed.
About two billion dollars.
It's a financial burden.
It's it's it's it's a burden to your personal quality of life.
So we got 43 million Americans uninsured.
Now we got 43 million Americans that are going blind and do not know it.
