Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24 7 Podcast.
Uh testing one to what did you think?
The show starts in 10 minutes.
I've been saying hi.
How are you, folks, for 20 seconds and a microphone?
Well, it is now it's Friday, so let's get started.
Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida.
It's open line Friday.
It is it is very strange.
This is the second Friday in a row.
I've been here.
I had to pinch myself when I got here.
Is this really Friday?
Anyway, greetings, folks.
Great to have you here.
Open line Friday.
You know how it works.
Monday through Thursday, we only talk about things that interest me because I don't want to sit here and be bored.
But on Friday, uh throw that out.
And when we go to the phones, you own the content of the program.
Whatever you want to talk about's good today.
Telephone numbers 800 282-2882, the email address L Rushball at EIB net.com.
We'll get to the beer summit in uh in in just a minute, uh, ladies and gentlemen, but the first 12 months of the U.S. recession saw the economy shrink more than twice as much as previously estimated, reflecting even bigger declines in consumer spending and housing according to revised figures.
The world's largest economy contracted 1.9% from the fourth quarter of 2007 to the last three months of 2008.
The current downturn beginning in 2008 is more pronounced, said Stephen Landefeld, the director of the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis.
It is now this economy has shrunk twice as much as it did with George W. Bush just in the the trailing end of 2008.
And still, this is a great example of what state controlled media is.
I just gave you the facts.
I just told you the truth.
Here is from state-controlled Reuters.
U.S. economy fares better than expected in latest quarter.
It is twice the recession is twice as bad.
Economic growth twice as two times as worse as bad.
But the state controlled media, U.S. economy fares better than expected in latest quarters.
The U.S. economy contracted at a slower than expected pace.
In the second quarter, according to government data, but a sharp drop in consumer spending fanned fears the recovery would be sluggish.
So we're still recession's over, right?
We heard that this week from Newsweek in Time.
We heard it from Obama.
And now we're not we're not growing.
I mean, it's contracting slower than expected.
State.
State-controlled AP.
GDP contracts for fourth straight quarter.
The uh but and then the GDP report subhead here likely to show recession eased in second quarter.
The economy sank at a pace of just one percent.
Like this is wonderful news.
Wait, folks, get this.
The economy sank at a pace of just one percent in the second quarter of the year, according to government report.
It was a better than expected showing that provided the strongest signal yet, the long recession is finally winding down.
We got more people unemployed than the Great Depression.
Percentages double digit in some of these cities, and what's the big news of the day of beer summit outside at the White House?
And why was there a beer summit?
Because two guys with an attitude jumped all over a cop.
And there was no apology, by the way.
There was no changing of minds.
There was just some discussion of the future.
Biden showed up.
It was a surprise attendee.
Biden was there for the free pretzels.
They had peanuts and pretzels.
Biden does not consume adult beverages, so we had a buckler, non-alcoholic beer.
Now, if you saw the picture, you saw Gates in his coat and tie, and you saw Sergeant Crowley and his coat and tie, and you saw the president and vice president without their jackets.
I don't know if their ties were loosened or not.
I'm just gonna tell you if I what if I host something, and it's Washington, and it's late July, and it's outside.
When the guests arrive, take off the jackets, guys.
We're gonna be outside.
We're not in the Oval Office.
Take off the jackets.
That didn't happen.
Now, pretzels and peanuts were part of the snack fair to go along with beer.
This is this is just it is a lousy, lousy image to present to America.
Oh.
I forgot my teachable moment on state-run media.
I just went through, gave you the facts in state-controlled Associated Press, state-controlled Reuters.
Wow, what great news!
Why, it it got worse, worse than we expected.
Or got worse better than we expected.
It didn't get as bad as we thought it was.
Oh man, recession's over.
We're gonna have, we're gonna have a sluggish recovery, but well, maybe the recovery be twice as sluggish as it's been in the past.
So once again, the economy is shrinking.
The bottom line, the economy's getting worse, and you know it.
Because you're feeling it.
But it's said to be doing better than expected.
That's the kind of stuff that Pravda ran back in the days of the old Soviet Union.
Pravda has spoken.
State controlled media has spoken.
All is well, we can thank the great leader.
People are being told that what they are personally experiencing and seeing is not what they are personally experiencing and seeing.
This is the definition of state-run media.
What you see, what you experience, it isn't true.
What we tell you is true.
Therefore, this is not reporting.
It is repeating the party line.
People like F. Chuck Todd and uh and his cohorts in state controlled media will be pleased the economy is getting sicker and slower because they're all interested in advancing the party line.
Now, as far as the beer summit's concerned, the media was um cordoned off approximately 45 feet away from the patio furniture where the beers were being quaffed.
President and vice president appeared to be doing what they do uh could to keep the mood light, wearing just shirt sleeves, appearing more relaxed than the professor and the cop, who were in suits and uh and more rigid.
Uh it was it was hot out there.
How rude of the host not to tell his guest to take the jacket off.
At um at any rate, the um present vice president spends much of the time uh that the press was out there snacking on the peanuts and pretzels on the table, which is food that makes you fat.
So it was already a bad idea to have beer cocktails, beer at dinner time, then to throw in stuff that people are gonna be taxed to pay for because it makes them fat was uh another moment of uh of hypocrisy and bad image making on the part of President Obama and his handlers.
Caterpillar is cutting more jobs.
I'm Peoria, a union official says caterpillar laying off 75 employees at a central Illinois foundry.
They may close the plant for two months late this year if demand for its engines doesn't improve.
Rick Doty, president of the United Auto Workers Local 974, says the 75 workers at the foundry in Mapleton will be laid off Monday.
That town's about 10 miles south of Peoria.
Doty says a company also has tentative plans to close the foundry and idle its 525 remaining workers in November and December.
That's gonna be a very sad Christmas shopping season.
In fact, if we had a Republican president, we'd already be getting stories on how rotten the Christmas shopping season's gonna be.
Caterpillar is laid off more than 30,000 workers worldwide during the current recession.
This story from state-controlled Associated Press, which couldn't be bothered to mention that Obama cited caterpillar as a sign, a company that supported his stimulus, and they were gonna rehire, start rehiring workers as soon as a responsible stimulus bill was signed.
And we have also learned that the caterpillar CEO was misled and misquoted.
He was totally Used by Obama.
State controlled AP can't bring themselves to remind everybody that Caterpillar was uh the diamond in the rough.
Caterpillar was the uh was the benchmark.
Caterpillar, soon as that as soon as that stimulus was signed, they're gonna start hiring people back.
And now they've laid off more than 30,000 workers worldwide during the current recession, and Obama did sign what he called a responsible stimulus bill.
And of course, then, folks, we have the cash for clunkers program, which after four days has been suspended.
Now, wait till you hear the sound bites on this.
I've been doing a little digging to find out what's what's really going on here, but all you need to do is if if they can't by the way, this this billion dollars that they allocated has been the most stimulative thing they have done.
And the reason is it's essentially a tax cut.
They're giving people their money back.
Can you imagine?
You look at all the activity in dealer showrooms because of this cash for clunker program.
Just imagine if if just half, if just half of the stimulus bill had been returned to people of former tax cuts, we would be on our way out of the recession.
So this is a harbinger.
They announced this big plan.
One billion dollars.
Chomp change, a one billion dollar program is the equivalent of you trying to manage your manage uh 50 cents in your pocket, and these people can't do it.
And so you have to imagine what if the only place you can go to get your health insurance is these people.
I gotta take a break.
We'll come back and continue right after this, folks.
Open line Friday with El Rushboat.
Don't go away.
Two government programs.
Two disasters.
Nancy Pelosi calling the insurance companies villains.
Same thing we heard about bankers, same thing we heard about people who work on Wall Street, and it's what we heard about the automobile executives, and it's what we're hearing now about doctors.
And it's what we heard about white policemen, villains.
That's what you've heard from this bunch and the Clinton administration and the drive-by media for 20 years.
Villains, and yet it is our government that has run up trillions and trillions of dollars in debt.
It is the government, Obama Pelosi Reed, who promised millions of jobs if they could spend trillions of your tax dollars, and they have failed to deliver.
Thanks to Obama Pelosi Reed's stimulus bill, we are losing millions of jobs.
Four straight quarters of economic contraction.
That boondoggle, by the way, was not inherited from George W. Bush, who is Obama's favorite phony scapegoat and villain.
And now we get the cash for clunkers, and care for suckers.
Cash for clunkers, health care for clunkers.
And you could almost say the same plan.
We're gonna get rid of your old clunker car, we're gonna get rid of your old clunker grandparents with Obama's health care.
Cash for clunkers, death for clunkers, disastrous government programs.
It should be noted, were not inherited from George Bush either.
Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi have the gall to call various groups of Americans villains.
These greedy incompetents who are trying to jam socialized medicine down our throats, which is a law that's designed to deny health care to those who've paid in the longest.
That's where this is gonna end up is gonna just like Social Security, the young are gonna pay for the old, pure and simple.
That's what's gonna end up being.
Our parents, our grandparents, our great-grandparents, what kind of person would design a program to deny care for those above for those who raised us?
That's Obama.
That's Pelosi, that's Harry Reed.
So who is the villain here?
Who is the real villain?
Cash for clunkers is a public sector disaster.
It turns out our cars aren't clunkers.
The program is just like Obamacare.
You know, I warned everybody, I told you America could not afford Barack Obama.
I said he I hope he fails Because Obama's programs are designed to harm this country.
You have to ask yourself a question.
Why in the world suspend cash for clunkers for four days?
After four days.
Why suspend it?
What is so difficult here?
Nobody knows the real reasons here for Heritage Foundation once again.
Hammering out the facts here with no emotion whatsoever.
Www.askheritage.org, become a member and have a marvelous world of scholarship opened up to you.
The smartest, brightest people doing the best work inside the beltway and I know of.
Cash for clunkers, according to Heritage, is a case study in why Obama nomics is failing.
If you watch TV, you've seen the ads.
So bring in that old Jalopi, get up to $4,500 towards the purchase of a new or select used vehicle.
That's right.
Get up to $4,500 for that old piece of junk, plus you keep the rebates.
You have to hurry since funds are limited for this program.
It's first come, first served.
Well, we're about to find out just how limited those funds are.
The Obama administration's cash for clunkers program has been such a quote unquote success that in just the first week of full implementation, the $1 billion originally allocated for the program is about to be exhausted already.
Does this mean the program's over?
We don't know.
Nobody does.
And that's just the beginning of why this program's a perfect illustration of why Obama nomics will fail.
Have they really used up the billion dollars here?
Have they really gotten orders or transactions as say maximum $4,500 per car per trade-in to exhaust the billion dollars?
Because I've talked to a lot of people who claim there hasn't actually been one transaction that they know of.
There are agreements, but that they really haven't happened.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
Last night, WCBS Channel 2 in New York new is at 11 car salesman said this about the cash for clunkers program.
If they can't administer a program like this, I would be a little concerned about my health insurance.
Yeah, absolutely right.
If they can't administer a program like this, I don't, folks, we we don't know yet that they can't administer it.
We don't know why they canceled it.
We really know the heritage people are right.
We don't really know yet why.
Does this mean the program's over?
We don't know.
Nobody does.
Just the beginning of why this program is a perfect illustration of why Obama nomics will fail.
What are the reasons that they're giving for canceling the program?
They ran out of money, right?
Too many people joined in.
If they didn't expect it, if that's true, if the reason they're giving for canceling the program is true, oh my God, we've run out of money.
We never expected.
And then there's a story in the stack, Sander Levin, Congressman Michigan says Congress going to find more money for this.
Are you finding any money lately, folks?
Where do you go to find money?
You know where you maybe the change jar, you put your hand in your pocket, and occasionally there's going to be a dollar in there, some days there isn't.
Where do you gonna find more money?
A billion dollars.
They didn't know what to expect, they had no idea the demand, they don't understand, they're giving people 4,500 and it's their own money, and they're getting a new car out of it.
And they suspend the program.
The only answer, if what they're saying is true, the only answer for suspending the program is Obama doesn't want you to have that much more of your money back.
Obama doesn't want to give you or the country, the citizens, more than one billion dollars back.
That can be the only explanation.
Otherwise, you've got a wildly successful program.
You have a $787 billion stimulus plan of which only five or six percent's been spent.
So if you need another three or four billion to satisfy the demand here, and we don't know that that's true either.
We do not know.
We just know what they're telling us.
We don't know that they have had one billion dollars worth of demand, but if they have, they don't need to go find any.
It's right there not being spent yet.
Just expand the program and say, but they cancel it?
Or suspend it?
On the theory that they were overwhelmed?
What the hell do they think is going to happen when they're the only people you can go to for health insurance?
I mean, people are going to demand that more than they're going to demand a new car.
You know that's the case.
What are they going to do?
How are they going to admit what is being illustrated here, bottom line, ladies and gentlemen, is the program doesn't work.
Cash for clunkers doesn't work because it's run by the government.
Their computer system is not working properly.
The regulations are smothering them.
The payments for this program are delayed.
They're running up a debt that might exceed the one billion dollar budget for the program.
This is how government works.
It doesn't.
They can't even manage a measly one billion dollar program.
What do you think this national health care is?
Obama and the Democrats view the elderly as clunkers, too.
It's just a mess.
An absolute miss.
They are not worth one ounce of our confidence.
Here's some more facts on the Cash for Clunkers deal, and this is from Heritage.
The program is already spent 150 million, has another 800 million to 850 million in obligations.
Now what that means is that the nation's auto dealers have already paid car buyers almost a billion dollars, but are still waiting for their cash from the federal government from USA Today.
Car makers and dealers have booked expensive advertising to capitalize on buyers' interest in cars, and now will be left promoting a tie-in with a discontinued government program, one that wasn't supposed to end until November 1st.
Scott Brown, Chrysler spokesman said, disappointed.
Too late to recall the ads.
Bo Beckman of Galf uh Galfin Ford and the nation's largest Ford dealer in LA.
We had increased our ad budget to get the word out.
We're very heavy on radio newspaper, getting direct mail together.
Now what do you tell people when they walk in for a clunker deal?
It's tough.
I saw a friend who saw a Chrysler ad on TV directly after a Fox News report that the program was canned.
And what a waste of money.
Oh, the toilet.
Well, I haven't seen a toilet.
I haven't had a TV on the past couple nights.
Uh well, I've had the TV on, but I haven't been watching news.
Uh but I it this it just it doesn't work, folks.
This is this is this is a harbinger.
Diane Feinstein had to call a cops on seasoned citizens at her Los Angeles office yesterday.
Had to send cupcakes or cookies out there to quell them.
Well, they were they wanted to talk to her about health care.
And they wouldn't go away.
They almost, these old people almost got arrested.
Now, if that kind of stuff's happening in Los Angeles before the recess even takes place, it's going to be a hot as hell August.
The this this cash for clunkers thing doesn't work because it's run by the government.
It's run by their computer system not working properly.
Even in this measly one billion dollar program, there are regulations that are smothering the government as they process the applications.
The EPA keeps changing the allowable gas mileage that will qualify your car as a clunker.
They just keep changing without coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety and whatever the hell other bureaucracies run.
It is a it is a cluster of oh.
Boy, that was dangerously close.
Uh, but it is.
Folks, this is this is it's a circ.
It's a cluster circle.
It's a cluster circle out there, and and and these people are illustrated, they can't even administer a measly one billion dollar program.
They spend that every second.
Payments delayed, running up a debt that might exceed the one billion dollar budget for the program.
This is how government works.
It doesn't work.
Speaking of adding to the debt, just this week, Obama told Business Week Magazine, quote, we're not gonna be able to drive the next big stretch of economic growth through debt.
But the first billion dollars of the cash for clunkers program was deficit spending.
The extra three to four billion dollars needed to fully pay for the program will also have to be borrowed.
And much like most government programs, Congress was incapable of actually estimating how much this was gonna cost.
They're now facing the prospect of tripling down on a program only a week after it began.
When uh President Obama bailed out GM, he told the nation his administration will not interfere with or exert control over day-to-day company operations.
Oh, really?
Well, despite what he may believe, his cash for clunkers program is doing just that.
It significantly interferes with day-to-day operations of millions of companies, dealerships nationwide, who are running ads, urging people to come in.
People have come in, they've plopped over the $4,500.
Transactions haven't been processed.
Cars haven't been exchanged.
Now the things canceled.
The dealerships are out the advertising money.
And the car companies.
In that same business week interview mentioned above, Obama said what you haven't seen from our administration is a suggestion of a bunch of command and control top-down, heavy-handed bureaucratic regulations that would bog business down.
That's exactly what cash for clunkers is.
There are so many regulations in this program, it shut down the computer system.
Human beings can't sort through it.
The fact that Obama does not understand this basic economic fact should truly frighten all Americans.
My friends, as he plots more non-command and control, top-down, heavy-handed bureaucratic regulations for health care, for energy, and the financial sectors.
As we just played the bite, if they can't administer a program like this, I'd be a little concerned about my health insurance.
Speaking of the uh let's see.
Yeah, let's go.
Soundbite number two.
I forgot number two.
We'll do that before we go to number three.
Uh reports were running wild all night last night.
On ABC, they reported dealers were making people sign forms in case the government reneged on the deal.
And uh today in Good Morning America, former or consumer correspondent Elizabeth Leamy said this about the Cash for Clunkers program.
Some dealers are actually now making people sign something saying they will return their shiny new car if the government renegs on the deal.
What an absolute boondoggle.
But damn typical.
So typical, folks.
But I I cannot emphasize enough how tiny this program is.
It's so simple.
If you're going to do this, you know how simple it is.
First, you have to decide do we really want to do this?
Because there are a lot of people who want a new car.
They haven't been able to get a new car because the economy for a long time the people love their cars.
So bam, here's a ch a $4,500 trade-in bonus.
Plus any rebates on the new car you get to keep, you get rid of your clunker and you get a new something that qualifies.
Now you may have to get rid of your F-150 and buy a Prius.
But at least you get a new car.
Now, somebody in Washington ought to understand there's going to be a mad dash to dealerships for this, just as there's a mad dash in the first-time home buyer market because they're being given a tax rebate as well to the tune of eight grand or ten percent of the mortgage.
So it's real simple.
If somebody in the private sector were gonna do this, okay, we how much we're gonna guess are gonna have this many people, got the money here, people go in.
We've got the qualifications.
Your clunker has to be whatever we say a clunker is.
And whatever we say it is, it doesn't change from that day.
If your clunker is, you know, whatever, you define it.
And if you go in and you qualify as a clunker and you make the trade-in, bam, $4,500, that's it, done.
No regulations, no this or that, no 13,000 forms to sign out, just do it.
That's not possible.
I wonder if John Conyers could read the cash for clunkers regulations and understand them without a lawyer.
I guarantee you couldn't.
Debbie Stabenow, senator from Michigan.
This morning on MSNBC, the anchor says to her, the billion-dollar programs run through so quickly, you have a sense of where we go from here.
I knew it would be successful because there are all kinds of people that want to get back into showrooms that want to buy new great cars, and I'm hoping they'll all be American made when they're buying them.
But the reality is that it was so popular that the funds, the first billion dollars, they've gone through just about.
I mean, as of today, as of now, people should continue to go into showrooms and until uh the dealers hear otherwise, uh, the program continues to have funds.
But we know that it is uh, in fact, uh moving more quickly than we thought.
I should tell you that my original bill had a four billion dollar allocation.
It was uh it was uh set back to one billion, and now we're realizing that we could use all four billion.
So this glittering jewel of colossal ignorance, the author of the program hasn't the slightest idea it's been canceled.
She's on television today telling people to keep going to the dealerships, that they've gone through the money, that there isn't any more money, but uh she wanted four billion for it at first.
These people do not understand the consequences of their actions.
Just as they don't understand how tax cuts incentivize economic activity, they also don't understand how tax increases disincentivize economic activity.
But this is what um Stabenow loves this command and control economy.
Now the conversation continued.
Uh the co-anchor on MSNBC, Richard Wolf says, I want to follow up on a cash for clunkers refund.
Could you be a victim in the sense that if you're thinking about buying a car, you may say to yourself, maybe Congress is going to have a few more billion out that I can benefit from, so I'm gonna wait and defer my purchase based on what might happen in Congress, and that if uh that itself kind of distorts the market, makes the press demand until you guys act.
Is there a danger of this kind of interest?
Do you know can I translate that question for you?
Do you understand that question?
What what do you okay?
Sturdly, tell me what you think he's asking her.
Mm-hmm.
No, no, no, no, not the economic data going to be distorted.
He's he's he's he's he's worried that people uh are gonna wait to go use the program until there is more money in the program.
And because they're waiting, they're waiting on Congress.
That's distorting the market.
Instinctively, he's right.
This guy's gonna get 30 lashes when he gets home to NBC tonight, because he's just explained it.
Congress is screwing up the program by causing their depressing economic activity.
The possibility of depressing economy if Congress were just out of this, get the program done announcement, people go buy the cars, but people are gonna wait now.
Program's been suspended, is it gonna come back?
So is this is this uh kind of distorts the market until you uh until you guys act again.
Uh what about that?
Let me say this is based on what has been done in other countries like Germany, where their program was wildly successful, increased auto sales by 20 percent in one month, and they went back and extended theirs as well.
We're talking about a time when people are extremely tight, middle class families uh very, very tight on what and and maybe losing their jobs and trying to figure out how do they keep the car going or can they afford that new car that they need?
This is a way to help stimulate demand, and that's what a stimulus should be all about.
We're following a European socialist pattern.
This is what a stimulus should be, you know.
I will concede this is what a stimulus ought to be.
Give the people their money back.
That's what a stimulus ought to be.
That's not what Obama or your stimulus is, Senator Stabineau.
I'm I'm I'm really, folks, I'm practicing uh mature professional broadcast restraint in not telling you what I really think of people like Debbie Stab.
Talk about clunkers, and that's as big mild about it.
You know, I uh I I tell you, folks, um I I cannot tell you how literally stupid the people running this government are.
They're j in addition to being dangerous.
The danger they pose is doubled by their abject stupidity.
You know, I'm tempted to say when I listen to Debbie Stabenow, just shut up.
Just shut up, cut taxes for everybody.
Cut taxes $4,500 for everybody has a chance to use their money for all kinds of things.
Why is this just focused on cars anyway?
I'll tell you why it's just focused on cars.
They want to get rid of these big cars that you like, and they're only gonna make you able to qualify for some little piddle jumper that you don't want.
I got an email from a woman who went into uh someplace in Texas, and she wanted to get rid of her clunker, and she wanted to get uh little Jeep for $21,000 that might hold three people.
It didn't qualify.
It wish it wasn't eligible.
She couldn't trade in her clunker for that.
These people just stupid, just cut taxes.
People spend their own money.
She will never support tax cuts across the board because she's an idiot.
I'm sorry.
I it just is an idiot.
A frigging idiot.
Why should people only be incentivized to buy cars?
What about clothes?
What about appliances?
What about restaurant meals?
Why not allow people to keep more of their money so they can do whatever the hell they want with it?
That's how you expand an economy, but Stabenow opposes it because it expands something else.
And you know what that is?
Liberty.
She may just be too big an idiot to understand any of this.
Look at looks like a business versus government, a business spending 778 billion dollars that's not working, and another business spending one billion dollars that is a business.
One business.
One business spending $787 billion that's not working and is spending one billion dollars that is working would do what?
Would get rid of the $787 billion failure and start capitalizing on the reasons why the one billion dollar business is working.
You take away the money from all this porculus business that isn't working.
If you store it from AP today, we're not even doing bridge work yet, infrastructure work, we're doing pothole repair.
None of what that money was intended for is even being spent.
We were lied to about that.
I tell you.
And here's Christina Romer.
She's on the CNBC this morning.
And uh, Mark Haynes asked her a question.
I'm I'm told the Department of Transportation within the last few minutes has issued a statement saying the program's not suspended.
Can you add anything to that?
I can reiterate that.
Uh, we just got a note from our legislative folks that absolutely if people are going out, want to buy a car this weekend, that program is still there.
It has not been uh suspended.
Uh, every I can tell you there's a flurry of activity this morning, working with the agencies, working with Congress to make sure that there's the funds for it.
You know, the the good part of this story is uh how much people are responding to this program.
Uh, we think it's great for the environment and great for the auto industry.
So this is good news.
Great for the environment.
Great for the um, what else does she say?
Great, great for the environment, great for the whatever.
Auto industry.
Heritage, by the way, says Senator Diane Feinstein and Susan Collins are open to allocating more money for the clunker program, and only if the rules are changed, so the program might actually do something for the environment, because right now it does not.
Edmonds.com auto analyst Jessica Calwell says what you buy has to have an increase in fuel economy from what you traded in, but in some cases that increase can be minimal.
So it's a boondog.
And listen to Christine Roer.
Well, we got to get Congress here, the uh various agencies and the uh bureaucracies.
Now, if you've if you've heard since last night the program's suspended and the news has been all over the place, the program's just now you hear that it's not suspended, what do you do?
More than likely you wait to find out what the truth is.
In the meantime, if you have any sense yourself, you realize you're dealing with a bunch of frigging idiots.
And then you realize it's the same bunch of frigging idiots that wants to administer your medical treatment, not just your insurance, your medical treatment.
And then you'll realize it's the same bunch of frigging idiots that claims global warming is being caused by you, and that you gotta pay even more taxes to be punished for that.
And then you gotta realize that these are the same frigging idiots that say they're gonna rebuild the economy with green jobs in this new environmental technology sector, but you haven't seen an ad for one of those jobs because not one of them's been created.
Christina Romer, Debbie Stabenow, Sander Levin, they are all freaking idiots.
This whole thing, this whole administration, no more than a Charlie Foxtrot.
And if you don't know what a Charlie Foxtrot is, ask your nearest military person, and they will tell you what a Charlie Foxtrot is.
