Time Text
Hi, welcome back, my friends.
I am Rush Limbaugh, America's guiding light.
America's truth detector.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations every day.
And now with an accuracy rate, an opinion accuracy rate that has been calculated to be almost always right, 99.1% of the time.
A new rating we gone up a tenth of a percent because of the Sodemeyer prediction back in 1997, when I predicted in 1997 at Sonya Sotomayor would be picked.
She was in a rocket ship for the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Sullivan group informed me mere moments ago that the opinion audit has now shown me to be almost always right, 99.1% of the time.
It's just a thrill and a delight to be with you, my friends.
Our telephone, I mean, we're going to get to your phone calls earlier in this hour because we haven't taken any yet.
800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
Why are all these Democrats kissing the Chicom's butt?
They can keep buying what?
It's gotten more than that.
It's more than just, you know, wanting just China the Chicom butt so they'll buy more of our debt.
Pelosi's over there now.
You know, Pelosi fled to Shanghai to get away from her controversy here over when she knew and what she knew about waterboarding.
Pelosi went to Beijing from Shanghai today to cooperate on climate change, urging the Chinese to cooperate on climate change.
She called a safe environment a basic human right.
She uh spoke at Beijing's elite Xinghua University, and she continued a theme of her five-day Chikom trip at combating global warming represented a new challenge that both governments must tackle jointly.
Pelosi said we're in this together.
There was an audience of about 200 students and faculty who applauded enthusiastically throughout her 45-minute session.
The impact of climate change, she said, is a tremendous risk to the security and well-being of our countries.
Pelosi's trip has been notable for skirting human rights and the fierce public criticism she has frequently leveled at the authoritarian ChICOM government.
She's over there kissing their butt because the Chicom government, just like our government, wants their people to think they gotta go along with us environmental wacko stuff.
I have told you, I I hate that phrase, but I'm sorry.
It's 20 years, and I have told you.
But I mean I have said in the past that militant environmentalism is the home of displaced communists.
And it is.
There's no arguing it, folks.
I mean, you can, but you would be assuming a losing proposition.
Uh Pelosi's trip comes as President Barack Obama's administration has emphasized climate change as a new way.
The UK Times Online, or maybe it's the Daily Mail, has a story today of some idiot and his wife, who've bought full-fledged into this wind turbine business, the windmill to create electricity for their home.
So they put up this windmill, but as uh those of you who studied this know you need a turban.
You don't just take a windmill up there and run a wire from the windmill to your house.
You have a turbine and the turban does a number of different things.
I'm not gonna get into the technic technical aspects of it, but do you know what a turbine is?
A jet engine is a turbine.
Turbo fan turbine.
They make noise.
This guy and his wife, they put the turbine and the windmill 164 meters from their house, or 164 feet.
And meaning away from their neighbors, the neighbors have complained so much about the noise from the turban that the city fathers ran in there and shut the guy's turban down.
His windmill is no longer useless or useful because he can't legally use it.
They said it's pretty putting out a hum out there that's driving us nuts, the neighbors said.
This guy said it's no louder than the dishwasher.
What are you talking about?
Well, obviously is, because the neighbors are all feeling it, sensing it.
It's a cheap little thing, too.
There's a picture of it.
Uh It looks like a weather sock to me, much more than the windmill.
It's a tiny little thing.
Guy, I think lives in a Obama kind of house, in a little shack, Ted Kaczynski type place.
But uh he says he saved 500 pounds a month on his uh electric bill.
But he's causing all kinds of hair.
Now can you imagine a whole neighborhood full of these things?
That's why nobody wants them anywhere near where they live.
Except where you live, fine, but not where they live.
So anyway, Obama is emphasizing climate change as a new area where the ChICOM government and the U.S. government can broaden already wide-ranging engagement.
In a meeting Wednesday, the head of the Chicom National Legislature, Wu Bang Wu, told Pelosi that climate change was a common challenge and that Beijing stood ready to work with Washington.
Turning around her usual criticisms about human rights, Pelosi linked global warming to environmental justice, saying the right to a clean environment is also a human right.
To achieve this, Pelosi said that governments would have to make decisions and choices based on science.
They also have to do it with openness, transparency, and accountability to the people.
Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory, Pelosi told the Chicoms.
Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory.
Fine, madam speaker, you go first.
Let's inventory every aspect of your life, Nancy.
All of it.
How many times do you flush a day?
How much do you eat?
What do you eat?
How many prescription drugs do you take?
How many houses do you have?
What's your electric bill?
Let's look at all your brothers and all your children, all your grandchildren, see what's happening in their lives, Miss Pelosi.
Step up.
Be the example.
Be the leader.
Let's see how you fly around.
What's your carbon footprint when you travel, Miss Pelosi.
Show the world how it's done, Miss Pelosi.
Take responsibility.
Take leadership.
Show us.
Show us how this is done.
Show us how your life would be subjected to an inventory, every aspect of it.
Next week, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, travels to Beijing.
I mean, these Democrats who lead our government are out there, they're they're kissing Chikom butt.
I think Snurdly's on to something in a sense.
And we're scared to death that they're going to pull out on us, but they really can't.
Bob Pull out.
They've got too much tied up.
But they probably we are begging them to continue to buy uh our debt.
I don't know if I I don't think the Chicom's take Pelosi seriously, Mr. Mr. Snerdley.
I think she's a just a walking example of the use useful idiot.
I mean, here's a woman who comes over there and says everything the Chikom government wants the world to hear about the United States.
The Chikom government, which to this day denies that Tiananmen Square happened, therefore they lie, they're communists.
The ChICOM government says they agree with the speaker.
What the Chikoms want us to do is to purposely take action to weaken ourselves.
Pelosi articulates exactly how we're going to do that.
So of course the Chikoms are going to applaud this.
The Chikoms would just as soon we destroy ourselves.
That way, they won't have to.
They would just as soon we take ourselves down many, many economic notches.
And when you've got a useful idiot like Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the house coming over talking about how every life needs to be inventoried.
Of course the Chikoms are going to support that.
They already do it.
I mean, how far are we going to take this inventory?
Only one child per family?
I mean, well, that that's that's a that will lead to uh a clean environment, right?
Less kid poop, less diapers, less waste, less food needed.
I mean, if environment if a clean environment is a is a human right.
And the uh we can learn a lot from the Chicoms because they already do inventory the lives of their citizens.
All right, we're gonna take a break.
We'll call one before we go.
I I since we're talking about that part of the world.
The White House says, now this was yesterday, which makes this even better.
The White House says that North Korea's threats against South Korea will not give it the attention that Pyongyang wants.
It's only going to add to its isolation.
Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman, said yesterday that North Korea should live up to its promises and stop its provocations against the South.
That ought to whip them into shape.
I can just see Kim Jong-il shaking in his boots now.
So the White House is downplaying North Korea's threats.
Meanwhile, today the AP is reporting that North Korea threatened military action yesterday against the United States and South Korean warships plying the waters near the Korea's disputed maritime border, raising the specter of a naval class just days after the regime's underground nuclear test.
But don't worry, folks, as Obama was in California.
We ain't see nothing yet, he said last night.
We're just now starting out on our big roll.
The economy's worst times are behind us.
We're back from the brink.
North Korea threatens to attack the U.S. The NORC regime also said it can no longer promise the safety of U.S. and South Korean warships and civilian vessels in the waters near the Korea's western maritime border.
U.S. spy satellites detected the signs of steam at the uh North Korea Young Bion nuclear complex.
In fact, uh Mr. Broadcast Engineer, we we do we do we have a uh We do.
We have ladies and gentlemen, I knew we had this.
I knew it was coming.
We have a special message for this audience from Kim Jong il.
That's translated, but we I knew that it was supposed to arrive today.
I've just been told it did arrive today, so here it is.
As promised, it's time to go to the phones here on the Rush Limbaugh program, and we'll start Orlando, Florida.
Diane, thank you for calling.
Great to have you here with us.
Hi, Russ, how are you doing?
Fine, thank you.
I am like the poster child for what's happening in this economy.
I was laid off by a large bank in December.
I immediately called about my mortgage um because of this modification situation and was told that they don't do modifications.
So uh they suggested I short sell my house.
Wait, wait, wait, just a second.
Let's let's go back here to the beginning.
You uh you you get laid off uh by a large bank in December.
Yes.
You uh knew at that point that you would not have any steady income for a while, and so that you still had to make your mortgage payment, correct?
Right, because of what I did for a living, I sort of anticipated that this is not going to be um a viable option for the next probably two years.
Right.
So you called who about your mo mortgage modification situation?
I called uh the bank.
The first people I called was my mortgage lender.
I came home and talked to my husband, we looked at our money and said, okay, this isn't a viable option, so I'll call my lender and tell them what the story is.
Okay, so what a minute, you don't go too quickly here for me.
So you get you get laid off, you realize you got to make your mortgage payment.
You work did you say you work in the mortgage department at the bank that laid you off?
No, I was a recruiter at the bank.
All right, okay.
Your recruiter.
Yes, recruit re what, recruiting clients?
I was a legal recruiter for a large bank.
I recruited the attorneys that work for one of the largest banks.
Oh, you're a headhunter.
Uh but inside the bank.
Inside the bank.
An internal headhunter.
Yes.
Yeah, okay.
So they lay you off because there were no heads they need hunted because they weren't hiring anybody.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But you still have to pay your mortgage.
Now, at this time, had the president elect, had anybody in the government announced, because this you said this December, so he wasn't immaculated yet.
Right.
Had anybody in the government announced a mortgage rescue plan that you could avail yourself of.
Yeah, well, they had talked about it.
So after they said that there's nothing they can do, they said uh and the other problem we had is that we were current on our mortgage.
So, um, which we always had been.
Oh, well, see, that's a problem.
If you're if you're way behind, you would have been able to get help.
Exactly.
And that's what they said to me, that you have to stop making a mortgage payments.
And then I said, Well, this doesn't really go to what we do.
We have no we have excellent credit.
We don't owe anybody anything.
We own our cars.
We don't we pay everybody on time, and that's not something that we're comfortable with.
And they said, Well, then there's nothing anybody can do.
They'll just foreclose on you if you wind up not being able to make your payments.
So we waited until he came into office again, and I did everything they said.
I wrote letters and did everything I needed to.
Um and in the meanwhile, I had called um our new congressman's off uh I'm in Orlando and we have a new um very wacky congressman.
I called his office because I understood retraining was going to be part of all these packages, so offered to get retrained to do anything to get a job, and uh they told me they didn't know where I could go for this retraining, but they knew it was part of the package.
Now wait, wait, wait, what what what w when is w what month did this happen?
This is all in late January.
After he was um anointed, um I called then because I thought, okay, if this is all in process, then um right after he said, you know, we have to save everybody and we need all this money to save the mortgages, I called immediately.
I started making my phone calls saying, Okay, here's our situation.
And you know, can anybody help us?
All right, let's cut to the chase.
Uh have you been foreclosed on?
No, they just started the process.
They um take away.
You are still you're still unemployed.
Yes.
But looking.
No, uh okay, and it's tough.
It's very tough because what I did is just um hiring attorneys is not something that's going to come back soon.
That's why I called and thought I could get retrained, I'll do anything.
It doesn't matter.
Well, now wait a minute.
Re w what I'm I'm always puzzled by this retraining business.
What do you want to get retrained to do?
I dunno I don't think I'm not I don't know.
Whatever.
What do you said?
What do you love?
Well, I loved what I did.
I but it's not available to you unless you want to start your own business doing it.
Right, right.
So I would do um I could I was interested in doing paralegal work because there'll always be paralegals for bankruptcy attorneys, I figured in this economy.
Um or any you know, I could go into nursing or anything.
I would do whatever was available.
All right, but the point of your call is that despite all the promises for assistance with your mortgage and uh to be retrained having lost your job, there has been zilch zero not a nothing and to add insult to injury the bank suggested that we do a short sale on our home, so because we're in Central Florida and the market isn't my home is worth less than what we owe on it and you're underwater.
Right.
So we put it for short sale, we got an offer immediately, and now the bank has come back to us and said they'll only agree to the short sale if we make up the difference between what the people have offered and what we owe on it.
So uh and then our and our realtor said, well, if that was the case, if they had that much money, wouldn't they just save their own home?
This is I can't believe what I'm hearing.
Oh, yeah, and it goes it's sort of on and on because then what we had originally been told is that our it will be okay on our credit because it's a short sale, not a foreclosure.
So then last week I called a mortgage broker and just said, you know, we'd be interested.
We have children with special needs, so we like to be settled down there.
What's the big lesson you've learned here?
Uh don't believe anybody.
I mean, you're in it for yourself, save yourself.
Don't, you know, I mean it's uh I don't trust the government.
Ah, there you go.
There you gotta amend don't believe anybody to don't believe a government promise.
Virtually every circumstance you encountered was supposed to have relief.
You were supposed to be able to go to a website or make a phone call, and all would be okay.
The president of the United States has been on television repeatedly since he was immaculated, assuring people.
Now your problem, as you identified at the very beginning of your call was or is you were never behind on a payment.
Your credit was good.
Therefore, you are not a target of assistance.
You are a target to be damaged.
The solution, and you also nailed this.
Self reliance, your own self interest.
You've learned who you can't depend on.
You know you can depend on yourself and your husband.
So snap two.
Certainly, I have rethought this uh question that you asked me mere moments ago.
Why um are the Democrats cowtowing the Chicoms?
And uh, you said it's because they want us to continue or we want them to continue to buy our our debt.
I don't think that's the answer.
I think I think our Democrats and Geithners over there, I think we're scared.
They're satar rabbling.
They're warning us not to print money.
They are warning us about our monetary policy because they are invested in it.
They are, they they own us, in a sense.
And I think we're over there getting spanked.
And I think we're over there getting assured, reassuring them.
This this Pelosi story about, you know, the all this environmental garbage is is I'll guarantee you they're not discussing this in public.
When Pelosi goes out and makes these environmental remarks to two other students at some university, it's yip, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
And that's for our consumption back home.
This is this is to keep the media placated and satisfied.
But I'm telling you, uh Drudge has had it on his on his website for the last couple of days, and even more stories last week that the Chicoms are warning us about our monetary policy.
They they are warning us to not print m.
They are warning because they're a major investor, of course.
It's just like Warren Buffett.
I will never forget.
Back when ABC merged with Cap Cities, I had a little run-in with uh with a with a show that ABC did one prime time on me, and I got to meet uh uh the CEO of Cap Cities, Tom.
Thomas Murphy, Thomas Murphy.
And I I got uh you know, there were there were uh many things I learned in the conversation.
At the time, Warren Buffett was one of the major investors at ABC, who then of course became a major investor in cap cities.
And Murphy didn't tell me this specifically, but he did say it in media circles a couple times.
He said something to the effect, hey, you know, whatever Warren Buffett wants, then he's the largest stakeholder.
So, yeah, the the Chinese that they can they can pressure us here.
We are printing money, they own our debt.
If we make it worthless, if there is hyperinflation, if we make their debt worthless by continuing to print money, I know damn well they're upset about it.
I wouldn't be surprised if Chicom's leaders, Hu Jintao, I wouldn't be surprised if Hujintao says to one of our people, we don't understand what you're doing.
We're moving toward capitalism.
Yeah, we still lead our people with an iron fist, but look at our economy.
We're moving toward capital.
What the hell are you doing?
You're destroying the economy we're investing in.
Now, on one hand, the ChICOMs don't mind that from a you know a geopolitical platform, but in the in the uh in the realm of their economic investment, you know, it's uh they're walking a fine line here.
And I get they're probably look, if you were a primary investor in the United States debt, would you be happy?
I mean, I don't think it takes much to get the little tax cheat, Timmy Geithner on a plane over to Beijing.
All that has to happen is Hu Xin Tao makes a phone call.
You know how you have to treat people to whom you're indebted?
Uh I don't care well, their currency is a thing that they don't they're gonna look at that as their own internal problem.
We don't own a lot of their debt.
We've got nothing to say about what they do other than with our Hillary Clinton type diplomacy, but they are deeply invested in our debt.
You know, you can sit there and say they have the nerve to warn us.
Yeah, they own us.
So I think that's what's really going on.
I I don't think this has anything to do with the Kyoto Protocol.
I don't think it has anything to do.
You know, the Chicoms, that's just a that's just like a uh icing on the cake for them.
To have Pelosi over there and uh publicly say, sure, we'll start treating our citizens like you treat yours.
We'll inventory every aspect of their lives.
We'll roll them back economically so that so that we can control them.
Yeah, yeah, we find go ahead and do that, but but they're uh their investment in our debt, the T bills that they hold.
I think that's probably their primary concern.
Can we uh Mike play audio subbite number five again?
This is Robert Gibbs, the White House press Secretary yesterday responding to a question from CBS Chip Reed on the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor.
I think it is probably important for anybody involved in this debate to be exceedingly careful uh with the way in which uh they've decided to describe uh different aspects of this uh impending confirmation.
That's a threat.
That's a threat, right?
That's a warning.
The White House warning those of us who are critical of Sotomayor and the nomination be very careful.
From the AP today, President Mahmood Akhmadizad said that Iran has boosted its capacity to enrich uranium.
Another sign of anti-Western defiance by the leaders seeking re-election.
We have now more than 7,000 centrifuges, the West dare not threat us.
Well, Shazam, you know, it it it the Ma Mahmoud Akhmadinizad sounds like Robert Gibbs, Robert Gabb, be very careful what you say about this nomination.
Mahmood Ahmadini's odd, the West dare not threaten us.
Just wanted to point out the similarities.
Back to the phones to Apple Valley, California.
Hi, Chuck, great to have you on the EIB network.
Uh yes, hi, Russ.
Uh, I just wanted to call uh I you probably not happy about this, but I voted for Obama and largely based on the race issue.
I thought that uh he might be somebody that would help uh deal with the elephant in the room if we don't get this race thing under control at some point in this country's gone.
So I voted for him on the race issue, thinking that he would help uh bring this back in.
Uh I thought his speech with uh Reverend Wright was excellent.
Reverend Wright, I understand where he came from from his point in time.
Uh they were an oppressed minority, and I thought that Obama would be helpful in bringing this country together.
But after his meeting with Lula, especially, and I saw, you know, he was uh beside himself, he was practically orgasmic with uh you know his happiness that uh Moula said that uh the problems in the world were white people with blue eyes.
And it just opened my eyes to really what a community organizer is.
I mean, he was not in the community trying to bring uh bus businesses and whatever.
He was signing signatures, trying to get more government into the communities, and I see him more on the Latin level of uh taking over things on the other.
We ask you a uh let me ask you a question out there, Chuck.
Yes.
Are you would you describe yourself a regular listener to this program?
Well, I'm a semi-regular listener.
I don't get to listen to you all the time, but uh I agree with 95% of what you say.
I don't know.
No, that wasn't that was I just want how how long have you been listening?
Uh years, probably I don't know, you've been on the air fifteen years, maybe twenty.
Twenty years.
So you've got a long time listener.
So you were listening throughout all of last year now and then.
Uh yes, yes.
Uh I said, you must have missed it.
This was one I want to ask you about.
Well, no, it's uh I've several occasions I had people who were very hopeful as you have expressed you were hopeful that the election of the first African American president would end or really crimp uh racial strife in the country.
People asked me if I thought this was I said no.
It's going to exacerbate it.
It is going to make it worse.
We are going to have more race-related problems in this country than we have ever had.
You did did you hear that and not believe me?
Well, I did hear that.
I took it into consideration, but I also had the uh uh the possibility of McCain getting in as president, and all he's done is trash Republicans his whole life.
So I didn't feel we were gaining much.
It might just be a slower.
No, no, I under I under understand that.
But you but I mean you you were hoping, I mean, this is a pretty big reason to vote for Obama.
You were hoping that this elephant in the room that's dividing this country along racial lines would be obliterated.
That's their primary reason for voting for him, at least as as you said.
Correct.
You heard me say that that would not happen.
You must have doubted me.
Uh Rush, I don't usually doubt you, and I'm not sure.
Well, I'm not admonishing you, Arthur.
I but if when you heard me, this is a learning experience for me.
Okay, when you heard me say that, what was your reaction?
Well, I went more on what Obama said.
And I loved the speech that he gave, the the Reverend Wright speech.
I love that.
Because if we don't get this under control, if we don't get, you know, the way the Democrats have taken this country, divided it according to the United States.
But that's not true.
See, see, now this is fascinating.
This is fascinating because from his perspective, he was not lying when he said we've got to get this under control.
But what you didn't know was that from his perspective, Jeremia Wright is right that this country is racist, and the way to get this country fixed is to return the nation's wealth to its rightful owners via high taxes, redistribution, nationalization of industries.
And his he has brought an anger to the White House about this.
You can hear it if you listen carefully in all of the interviews he's done, particularly early on in Chicago in the late 90s and the early parts of this of this century.
So, yeah, I've you listened to him, you thought he's telling the truth.
We've got this racial problem.
But his problem, the racial problem in his mind is white supremacy.
Absolutely.
I agree with you.
I see it.
I see it now.
Well, I'm glad you've seen it now.
In the future, don't doubt me.
I have an email.
An email is interesting.
I've answered this question, I don't know how many times I've explained it, you know, this guy hasn't heard it.
So here's the question.
Dear Rush, you keep saying that Obama wants to return the wealth of our nation to its rightful owners.
Who's he talking about?
Who exactly is he talking about?
He well, he doesn't use the phrase.
It is my phrase to help people understand Obama's philosophy.
In Obama's mind, this is an immoral and an unjust country and the people who have prospered.
Which is anybody who has a dollar more than you have in his book.
People who have prospered have done so by cheating or by stealing, or by doing it on the backs of others.
And this has led this nation to being unjust and immoral.
All prosperity and all wealth is suspect.
So when I say that Obama's policy is to return the nation's wealth to its rightful owners, I'm talking about people he would put in the middle and lower classes, union members, minorities, any minority, uh people who have uh never succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
In other words, the vast majority of the American people.
The middle middle class contains far more people than the upper classes do.
So in Obama's world, and I I do think he means this, I do think it's in his heart.
I don't think this is mere tactics.
A lot of other liberals use it as tactics.
The class warfare is a tactic because they know that there are more middle class and poor people than there are rich people, and if you can get all the middle class and poor to vote for you, then all the rich voting against you cannot hurt you.
In fact, you don't need to get all the poor and all the middle class voting for you, just a few of them.
Because there aren't that many rich people.
Some people use this class warfare as a tactic.
In Obama's case, because of the way he was raised, because who his mentors have been, and because of the people he's listened to in church, I believe he has a personal animus against people who have succeeded.
There are exceptions, of course, people who donate to him on the left from Hollywood or big business or wherever.
But for the most part, his objective is to make this country just and fair again.
It's not fair that the people who've prospered have prospered.
They've done it by cheating, they've done it by stealing.
Ergo, we're going to have massive tax increases on the rich.
Ergo, we're going to redistribute.
Ergo, the unions are going to own significant portions of the automobile companies.
Without a single dime of investment.
Because you see, they have been used.
Union employees Are really the ones responsible for the wealth amassed by the Ford family, the people who started General Motors.
Union people are responsible for the wealth of the people in big oil.
Union people made it all happen.
And they've had dirt and coal, sand and oil flecks kicked in their faces.
Obama's going to return what is rightfully in quotes theirs to them.
Even if it means destroying the industries where these people were.
You see, the dirty little secret proven time and time again.
The very targets of all this munificence, the beneficiaries of all of this compassion, returning the nation's wealth to its quote unquote rightful owners.
The rightful owners, the little guy, quote unquote, is going to get shafted.
The little guy is getting shafted now.
Unemployment last month, a 25-year high.
One out of seven mortgages being foreclosed on.
Jobs at the automobile companies, the dealerships, the factories being shut down.
Where the little guy works.
You think the little guy is going to be on the Chrysler or GM board of directors, the little guy at the union?
No.
It's going to be union leaders.
Who are already doing pretty well?
So the the the intended beneficiaries of all of this compassion, of all this redistribution, of all of these tax increases on the rich.
The nation's rightful owners, quote unquote, are about to get the royal shaft again.
In fact, they're in getting it now.
When they get fired, when they get laid off, what do they have?
Empty promises from Obama to keep them in their house?
Mortgage foreclosures at one out of every seven mortgage?
This wasn't supposed to happen, was it?
Why the Obama was going to make sure that this didn't happen to you.
You have your unemployment check, but yep, yep.
Yahoo.
What's that gonna get you?
A subsistence.
Meanwhile, the big guys are getting bailed out.
The guys who have unfortunately profited on the back of all of you middle class people.
Wall Street guys are getting bailed out.
Yeah, they're talking about limiting their pay, but to what?
500 grand a year?
You'd take that, wouldn't you, as opposed to unemployment?
We can argue about the disaster that's gonna be, but my only point to you is that all of the middle class, all of these people that voted for Obama, all of the recipients of this grand compassion are the ones getting screwed.
They're the ones that can't pay their mortgage, they're the ones credit cards are closing them down or raising rates.
They are the ones that don't have jobs.
They're the ones whose mortgages are being foreclosed.
They're the ones who are having trouble getting health care once they get laid off.
All of this was supposed to be fixed by now.
All this we're supposed to have turned around.
It's just getting worse and worse and worse and worse and worse as it goes on.
So the wealth of the nation, wherever it's going, it's going somewhere, but it ain't headed back to its rightful owners.
Bernie Madoff swindled what, 50 billion, they say.
And we got armies of people trying to find it.
We don't know where it is.
We've spent trillions, trillions in four months.
And we don't know where that went either.
Don't you think it'd be easier to find a trillion or two than fifty billion?
