Rush Limboy, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have.
And when you're right, as often as I am, there's really nothing much more fun than that.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882.

I was just in Snerdley's office, and he's got his three TV monitors on in there, and we're watching PMS NBC, and Andrea Mitchell is interviewing an NBC info babe, Ann Thompson.
And they're somewhere out there, are they on Cape Cod?
In Cape Cod, because Eunice Shriver passed away, and they're going through the usual remembrances and so forth.
And Ann Thompson is just clearly wishing she were a member of the Kennedy family and going on and on.
It's treating it like Camelogg.
Jack Kennedy built a shoreline here back in 1961.
And Snerdley looks up at me amidst bites of vegetarian falafel or whatever the hell it is.
He says, you know, what are these people going to have talk about when the Kennedys are gone?
When Ted Kennedy passes away, who are they going to lionize?
Who the hell are they going to have anybody?
I'm not crying out loud.
That's all they do.
They can't stop lionizing the Kennedys.
Snerdley, probably go back to Clinton.
Then I caught myself.
They can't go back to Clinton.
Clinton doesn't have a home.
They can't go anywhere to talk about Clinton is a renter.
He doesn't have a home.
There's no homestead.
There's no Clinton compound.
There's a Clinton concubine wherever he happens to be, but there's no Clinton home.
You know, there's no way.
I mean, they've got the library and massage parlor in Little Rock, but and you got Hillary.
Oh, have you, this, Hillary's over there in Africa, still over there.
I wonder if she's going to do something about the brother that lives in the hut.
Tina Brown on her website, The Daily Beast, has a sympathetic piece about Hillary today.
We've got to try to understand it.
She's been on the road for a week now or two weeks or whatever.
She's away from home.
She feels fat.
Tina Brown, she feels fat.
Now, why would one woman write that about another woman, particularly Hillary?
And I know that I haven't seen the video.
Frankly, I hate computer videos.
I don't know why.
Maybe because I can't hear them.
Oh, you can feel fat if you're not fat, I think.
Yeah, just tighten your belt too tight.
Or any number of ways you can feel fat.
But wait a minute.
HR is saying, how do you feel fat if you're not fat?
Are you saying Hillary's not fat?
You're not going to go so far as to say she's not fat, or you're not going to go so far as to say she is fat.
Do fat people, no, fat people never feel thin.
There's no way.
But she feels fat.
What would inspire one woman to say that about another one?
Maybe she's seen the video.
I haven't seen the video, but people, why is she like fondling herself and doing all this lounging back on the chairs?
She had an adult beverage in her hand in this picture.
Is she wearing a pantsuit?
What the hell else does she wear?
Does she wear a pantsuit?
Does she breathe?
Well, anyway, she feels fat.
It's just so horrible for Hillary out there.
Plus, Obama's sending her to these places that matter zilch zero nada to U.S. foreign policy.
She's getting questions of what are you, what does your husband think about this or that?
She's blowing up.
Funny little story here from the New York Post.
You know the story the other day that the Chevrolet Vault is going to get something like 230 miles to the gallon.
Adam Victor in the New York Post, sorry, the new Chevy Volt does not promise a green revolution.
In fact, the car could trigger a whole new wave of blackouts.
Chevrolet notes that the key to this high mileage performance to the tune of 230 miles per gallon is for a Volt driver to plug into the electric grid at least once each day to get 40 miles of electric only petroleum-free driving.
40 miles on the battery, but you plug it in every day to do that in order to get up to 230 miles per gallon.
But it won't be petroleum-free in much of the country.
A lot of utilities use heavy fuel oil to generate that electricity, not to mention coal.
At current electricity production levels, these plants emit as much as hundreds of thousands of cars on the road every day.
So if a few thousand well-meaning dupes plug a few thousand new Chevy Volts into electrical outlets, especially in urban centers, you could actually add millions of pounds of dangerous, dirty, unregulated pollution and carbon into the air, and you could cause the grid to black out with the added demand for electricity.
If the electricity grid can't handle the added load, then look out.
And of course, this only stands to reason.
Okay, we got an electric car.
Yeah, no gasoline, no petroleum, less pollution.
Plug it in, Netro.
What powers the plug?
What powers the socket?
And dupes is the right word.
All right, to the audio soundbites.
I know you've been eagerly waiting.
Here is a portion of a report of WABC-TV Channel 7 in New York, Eyeball News, the reporter Dave Evans out there at New Jersey, Representative Steve Rothman's town hall meeting.
And you'll hear a guy in here.
His name is Steve Rubinsky.
He's an audience member.
There was a feeling of exasperation at all the rhetoric, especially how some conservatives have used Nazi symbolism in blasting Obama's plan.
I am appalled as being a Jew that the N-word is racially inflammatory, but Rush Limbo could get on the radio and all over and use Nazism and Nazi and Hitler.
This man went on saying limbos shouldn't be allowed on the airwaves, to which conservatives here took exception.
Let's keep it down.
Now, let's remember for whatever it's worth.
How many days is this?
Nancy Pelosi said those of us showing up at town hall meetings were showing up with swastikas, as she said, meaning we're Nazis.
We were called Nazis.
At that point, I said, all right, let's do a comparison between the National Socialism of Germany, which what Nazism is, the National Socialism of Germany, and the Obama Healthcare Plan, and find out if there are any similarities.
And by golly, by gosh, there are gazillions of similarities between National Socialism in Germany and Obama's health care plan.
So, Mr. Rubinski, I have also said I'm not saying Obama's Hitler.
I went into a big diatribe yesterday.
You think of Nazism, we think of genocide.
And when we think of that, so we can't talk about any other aspect of Nazism, which was National Socialism.
Nobody's saying that this government is genocidal.
Nobody is saying that Obama is Hitler.
What we're saying is that this healthcare plan mirrors Nazi Germany's.
And the Nazi Germany healthcare plan was the foundation from which they built the rest of their socialist paradise, if you want to call it that.
So you have an uninformed Democrat showing up at a Democrat town hall meeting, a guy named Steve Rubinski, thinking that I am out there calling Obama a Nazi and calling him Hitler when it is us that were called Nazis.
Fox 5 in New York also covered this event.
A Steve Rothman, was it Steve Rothman?
No, no, no.
This is, I thought it was the same thing, but it was last night in New York City on Fox 5, 10 o'clock news.
This is a montage of the reporter Mike Gilliam's report on a, yeah, it is, another Rothman town hall meeting in Rutherford, New Jersey.
Outside of Rutherford's Borough Hall, Lyndon LaRouche's people with anti-Obama posters depicting the president as a Nazi inside rowdy debate.
Somebody might lose their job.
What are you going to do about it then?
But Rash Loop tells us what to think.
And he tells us what to do.
Your host being invoked now by name at Democrat town hall meetings in New Jersey.
By the way, the LaRouche's, they do have a bunch of signs in post.
These people, do you people know who Lyndon LaRouche is?
I'll tell you when I first saw Lyndon LaRouche.
This was got to be 80.
I'm trying to think, was I living in Kansas City when I saw this?
Lyndon Rouche bought time on a Sunday night, NBC, before a Tuesday presidential election.
And I'd never heard of this guy.
And I'm watching this.
I am in stunned.
Yeah, no, this was, this is mid-70s.
This might have been the 76 election.
Might have been the 76 presidential election.
I'm watching TV on Sunday night, and NBC sold a half hour to this guy.
And he's going on and on about this worldwide cabal of David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger and Brzezinski and so forth.
And how can we stop all this?
He said, vote for me.
And I'm looking at a genuine lunatic.
I'm watching this guy.
And the LaRouche's now are so far left-wing.
The LaRouche's are not right-wing guys.
The Queen of England was part of this worldwide conspiracy.
Head of a worldwide drug cartel.
Was the head of a worldwide drug cartel.
And so the LaRouche's are out there getting involved in this.
LaRouche isn't even around anymore, I don't think.
Why?
He was in jail for a lot of years.
And I don't even know if he's still alive.
Now, once said Ray Davies and the kinks had kicked the bucket, and I was wrong about that.
So LaRouche may be still looking down at grass rather than up at it.
But regardless, these guys.
Point is, you have them on the run out there, folks.
You have these people on the run.
A question from the program observer.
Yes, what is it?
That's right.
There are enough Democrats in New Jersey not in jail or brought up on charges to conduct town hall meetings.
Correct, Snerdley.
They're still very much alive.
Ray Davies and a kink's here.
The title of the tune is Come Dancing in Our Bumper Rotation.
You got to hear this.
The Democrats are just, they cannot talk about health care.
They cannot talk about the issues.
Everybody knows the abomination the bill is.
So one of the plays in the playbook is to demonize somebody.
And once again, they're back to demonizing me, trying to make the issue about me.
Last night, Wolf Blitzer sat in for Larry King on Larry King Alive.
The forehead, Paul Bogala, was a guest, along with Republican strategerist Sherry Jacobis.
And Blitzer said there's always going to be a crazy lunatic fringe out there.
Responsible Republicans, they're not calling these crazies down.
Here are the Republicans standing up and saying, no, stop the threats.
Stop calling people.
Rush Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh.
He's the unchallenged, self-proclaimed leader of the Republican Party.
You know, Rush is not the leader of the Republic.
But he compared our president to the Nazis.
The responsible Republicans don't have the courage to stand up to them, to stand up to Limbaugh, to stand up to the guy who brought a gun to the president's rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
These guys, this is hilarious, folks.
I just loved it.
They are coming unglued.
They are unhinged.
They're going to be long gone.
I will still be here.
Did sound like Obama was crying because this is him soon.
That is white comedian Paul Shanklin in a parody of Randy Newman's Short People, the vocal portrayal there by President Obama and Old People.
Okay, back to the phones to Austin, Texas next.
Gerald, hello, sir.
Thanks for your patience.
I'm glad you waited.
Hi.
Hi, how are you doing, Rush?
Doing well, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you, McCall.
You bet.
You are a master of critical thinking.
Thank you very much, sir.
I appreciate that.
I wanted to talk about the fact that right now the greatest chance of a compromise bill in the Senate does appear to be in the Senate Finance Committee.
And there are five Republicans in that committee that they have a habit of compromising with the Democrats.
And I see a lot of people at the town hall meetings protesting against the Democrats.
I'm not hearing a lot of people protesting against these Republicans.
Well, Arlie, who are name these five Republicans in the Senate.
I will do that.
Chuck Grassley of Iowa.
Well, now, Grassley is being pretty vociferous against this.
That's true.
That is true.
Olympia Snow, Susan Collins of Maine.
Yeah, that's always a problem there.
Yep.
Michael Enzi of Wyoming and Lindsay Graham of South Carolina.
Yeah, Gramnesty is a problem.
He's don't know what Gramnesty's objective is here.
Enzy, yeah, but okay, but are these people having town meetings?
That is a good question.
I haven't seen a Gramnesty town meeting.
I'm not saying they haven't.
I just haven't seen any.
But if as a result of your call today, if any of them do have town meetings about this, people will show up.
Absolutely.
And on the 22nd, there's a national recess rally.
You know, they could make people can make their voices heard then as well.
That's not, no, it's just not these five Republicans in the Senate.
We have to figure.
Look, even if these five Republicans go along with it, it doesn't matter because the Republicans don't have the votes to stop this in the Senate.
We're talking about using reconciliation, which only requires 51 votes, which is a typical ethics violation a Harry Reid has said they're thinking about doing.
So the Republicans in the Senate are really not where the action is on this because they can get 60 or 51 votes without them.
It's the blue dog Democrats.
It's in the House of Representatives where this thing lives or dies.
It's these blue dogs.
I've been harping on this for the past couple of weeks, and they're going to have to decide how they want to be seen by their constituents.
Do they want to be seen as far left, out of control, wild-spending radicals, no different than Barack Obama?
Or do they want to be seen as the fiscal conservatives that their voters think they are?
And that's going to be their question.
Their question they're going to ask themselves is: do I succumb to the threats of Rahm Emmanuel and Pelosi in exchange for re-election assistance and maybe some vote fraud assistance from Acorn?
Or do I remain true to my constituents and what I promised them I would do when I came here to represent them?
And that is be fiscally responsible and conservative.
And with Rahm Emmanuel, these guys in there saying, you go ahead, you go ahead and be responsible to your constituents, and we'll find somebody to run against you, and we'll make sure you lose in the primary.
Or you can vote with us.
Your constituents can hate you, but we'll protect you from them.
Because remember, we don't care about our constituents either.
This isn't about constituents.
This is about President Obama and what he wants.
And if you help Obama get what he wants, which is a monument to himself, we will take care of you.
But you better never betray us, or it's Fort Marcy Park.
Figuratively speaking, this is the question that the Blue Dog Democrats are going to have to decide.
A caller just a minute ago identified Chuck Grassley as a potential problem Republican in the Senate on health care.
Here's Grassley.
He was at a Wintersect Iowa healthcare town hall meeting, and this is a very short bite.
It's about eight seconds, but this is what he said about Obamacare.
You have every right to fear.
We should not have a government program that determines you're going to pull the plug on grandma.
Well, you have a right to fear.
He said we should not have a government program that determines if they're going to pull the plug on grandma, which is exactly what we're going to have.
Now, Ben Cardin, another town hall meeting in Hagerstown yesterday, and a woman audience member stood up.
What are you going to do to restore trust and faith in the American people that you know what you're doing and that you're not putting us and our children and grandchildren in debt over health care, cap and trade, and creating the illegals to get out of our country?
What are you going to do?
We're going to have it.
There's going to be some disagreement in this room, and I understand that.
I think that the Obama administration has already started to restore trust in health care by the things to say.
Obama's already started to restore trust in health care.
The numbers continue to plummet.
It's like Claire McCaskill being asked yesterday, don't you trust me?
No.
And it went on and on and on.
You've got to understand, I think Obama's already started to restore trust in health care.
Scott Rassmussen, Cookie just flashed me here.
Scott Rassmussen just posted this on Facebook.
44, the new poll result, 44% trust the Republicans more than Democrats at 41% on health care.
The public trusts Republicans 44 to 41% over Democrats on healthcare.
That's the first time that the Republicans ever had an edge on health care.
No, it's not yet time to get giddy.
Everybody's keeping it.
Is it time to get you get giddy when we beat it back, when it doesn't happen, when it stopped?
Don't get giddy.
Start getting giddy.
Giddiness is for when it's over.
Hang in there with me, folks.
I mean, this is getting good.
It's getting better.
Ben Cardin.
I think Obama started to restore trust in health care, but the place blows up.
Now, let's go back down to CNN in Georgia.
The David Scott, this representative that trashed the doctor that stood up and asked him a question.
And with some Democrat lackey, went out and painted a swastika, as Pelosi says on his office sign.
Rick Sanchez, the hapless actor, anchor, well, what's the difference?
Says to David Scott, is it representative of what's going on in this country with this health care debate?
You hear the comments, I want my America back, I want my nation back.
He asked the question, back from home.
It means, well, somebody must have taken it from you.
And these cries were not being made last year.
Do you think that comment, I want my America back, is inherently racist?
No, I don't.
I think what it is.
Admitted?
Well, I think it's a reflection of a lot of things within that that you have to dissect.
Racist?
I want my country back?
It's racist?
I love being right, but this still ticks me off.
I predicted this.
Any criticism of Obama when things start going bad is going to be racist.
And of course, you can count on some of these template, narrow-minded television people who do not have critical thinking.
They don't even have any curiosity to find anything outside the template.
What is it now, Sterdley?
I'm trying to host the show here.
Would you leave the show to me, Snurdley?
This would all be handled.
So I'm sitting here.
I am making a point, a brilliant point about the brain deadness of most television anchors.
Is it racist to say you want your country back?
You snurdly screaming at me, what do you mean, Howard Dean?
Howard Dean, how are you?
And I said, if you just let me run the show, here is Howard Dean.
We are taking our country back piece by piece from the Rush Limbaughs.
You have the power to take back our country so that the flag no longer represents solely Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back our country so that the flag never again is the sole property of Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back our country so that the flag of the United States is no longer the sole property of Rush Limbaugh.
This country does not belong to Rush Limbaugh.
Move over.
I want my country back again because the flag of this country does not belong to Rush Limbaugh.
You have the power to take back the flag so it does no longer belong solely to Rush Limbaugh.
Howard Dean, a montage there from the 2004 Democrat primaries.
So this idiot Congressman Scott from Georgia, and no, Ms. Sanchez, it's not racist to call him an idiot.
It's accurate.
He's an idiot.
They weren't saying this a year ago.
A lot of us were saying, we don't want to lose our country.
We want him to fail.
But the whole notion to take the country back is not new.
And it doesn't indicate anything and is nothing that we have to dissect.
Back to the phones.
Vince in Columbus, Ohio.
Hello, sir.
You're on the EIB network.
Rush, I just wanted to send a direct message to all the goons in the White House that they can put Vince Tornero in Columbus, Ohio on this snitch list because I'm sick and tired of this bully pulpit.
You wouldn't believe what we saw out there in Columbus, the liberal astro turf with their pre-made signs from Organizing for America were out there trying to shout us down.
But we came out there, we had our signs, we put them together with what we could.
We took our sharpies, we put them on notebook paper, we ran out there with the truth, man.
We are fighting out there.
This was at a Sherrod Brown meeting?
Yes, sir, in Columbus.
Tell me what happened.
What happened to the Sheridan?
Did you get assaulted by some union thugs or something?
No, just the Organizing for America thugs were out there.
I didn't see any SEIU thugs, but they'd have been more than welcome to talk to me.
But that was terrible.
I mean, only the Organizing for America and the Sherry Brown email people were on this list to know that this event was going on.
My mom called at 9:30 in the morning and looked on the website at 9.30 in the morning, as did many other people, and there was nothing on the website.
And the office lied to us.
They said, hey, there's no event going on.
But there was.
They lied to us.
They put on a Obama campaign health care rally on our taxpayer dollars on our Ohio and taxpayer dollars.
And tried to make it look like a genuine town hall.
Yeah, yeah.
It's such a cop, man.
Of course it's a cop.
Everything is fake.
Everything is staged.
They have to send out memos to these people to tell them where to show up and what to wear and what time.
And then they have to tell them what to say.
And here are the signs you have to make.
It's always been ginned up and fake.
That's the reason they're losing this is because people like you are genuine.
You're not organized.
You're just showing up because you're ticked off.
Yeah, we have a legitimate concern for the future of America.
And here we have these paid-off union thugs and these brainwashed goons from Organizing for America thinking they can shut us up.
But no, they're dead wrong.
That's right.
Organized for America, by the way, is an Obama White House website.
So the White House is sending out the thugs or whatever you want to call them, the rent-a-mob.
Doesn't matter.
Vince, thanks much.
Frank in Overland Park, Kansas, where I used to live in a tiny little shack.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
How you doing?
Fine, sir.
Thank you.
Hey, myself and my family own some restaurants in the state of Utah.
We live in Kansas.
And the bottom line is, as a small-time franchisee with the health care bill version in the Congress right now, our concern is, at least our understanding is, if we had to all of a sudden start paying 100% of all of our employees' insurance, that would pretty much put us under and possibly put us out of business.
So I want to make sure, in your opinion, do we have that assessment correct?
Is that what the health insurance bill would make us do in terms of pay 100% of all our employees?
You would have either that or pay a fine levied against you by the IRS.
The 8% of your payroll?
Yeah.
Minimum 8%.
Minimum 8% of your payroll.
Minimum.
Yeah.
See, we've had, prior to the election, we had five years of 10% year-over-year growth, which was outstanding.
And then as soon as we hit the election and finishing 08, we dropped to 3% growth, and now we're down 20%.
And so now our stores are running marginal.
And our fear is if this goes through, we're done.
You know, it's entirely possible.
If it goes through as is, it's entirely possible that that would be unless you offload those people a public option, which is what they want you to do.
You offload your employees to the public option.
They get their insurance, and government takes care of it, and then they're off your back.
See, this is the trick they're using to get people on the public option.
They know you'd go out of business.
They know you're not going to pay 8%.
They know you're not going to do all this.
So you'll just cancel your own health insurance.
And Bamo, they are on Obamacare.
Which would then put our immediate family on the Obamacare, so to speak, as well.
Yeah, if you're on the company plan, absolutely.
Exactly.
We are.
Exactly.
I got a question.
This is great illustration of how this is private insurance is going to be lost.
And this, by the way, was discovered by the Duke University Classics professor who read the plan.
We went through the analysis yesterday.
If you want to see his article and the way we treated it, it's at rushlimbaugh.com.
We've got it highlighted there on the homepage.
I'll check it out.
Do that.
Now, I got a question for you.
Okay.
This is just a question of logistics, curiosity.
You own a chain of restaurants in Utah and you live in Overland Park.
Comes down to mom and dad starting the franchises out of Utah, but they were originally from Kansas and that's where they wanted to be.
All right.
So how often do you visit the stores in Utah?
Monthly to every other month.
Really?
So you've got a good people you trust to run these things.
Overall, yes.
I mean, we're not unlike any other business where you're always trying to improve your client, or not your client's health, but your personnel.
Right.
And a restaurant business got a lot of theft.
Yes.
You have to factor that in as a cost of doing business.
Is it white tablecloth kind of restaurants?
No, it's more fast casual.
Oh, okay.
Well, excellent.
Do you serve adult beverages?
In some we do, in some we don't.
Well, there's more theft to account for.
All right.
Well, look, I appreciate the call, Frank.
Thanks much, and best of luck to you.
Thanks, Rush.
We'll be back.
Stay with us.
Okay, diligent research has uncovered the fact that Lyndon LaRouche is still alive.
He was gotten out of jail.
He was released from jail by his lawyers.
Lawyer got him out.
Ramsey Clark got him out of jail in 1994.
Lyndon LaRouche is still alive and kicking.
Now, you also went to the LaRouche website.
Do a Google search there.
You come to www.laRouchepub.com.com.
Sorry.
And you find out that LaRouche, his organization and him, accused Bush of being Hitler.
This organization, the LaRouche's, accuse everybody of being Hitler.
Listen to some of these headlines.
August 17, 2007.
Bush signs spy bill in spirit of Hitler's Third Reich.
Bush signs spy bill in spirit of Hitler's Third Reich.
It appears twice.
W's grandpa and great-grandpa helped put Adolf Hitler into office.
Now, I didn't see the state-controlled media upset about LaRouche when he was accusing not only Bush of being Hitler, but Bush's family of putting Hitler into office.
The fascists versus FDR then and now.
Bush and Hitler, what the torture memos reveal.
The British Empire's fascism stalks America.
These are some of the headlines from the LaRouche website.
So the Bush family, it was Joe Kennedy for crying out loud that supported Adolf Hitler.
So you people in the media you're selecting, like Bagala, like Magala getting all over me.
Forehead, let me tell you something.
It is your party, Paul, the Democrat Party that supported slavery and segregation.
Bull Connor was a Democrat.
Lester Maddox was a Democrat.
All those southern governors, George Wallace, they were Democrats, Paul.
The segregationists.
It was who was Clinton's big metal block, the guy from Arkansas that was Clinton's mentor and yeah, J. William Fulbright, big-time segregationist.
The Kennedy patriarch, Joe Kennedy, who supported Hitler, not the Bush family.
The dean of the Senate, Robert Sheets Byrd, was a grand Kliegel of the Ku Klux Klan.
Those are your friends, Bagala, your allies, your party.
And you've yet to apologize for any of it.
Racist segregationists, slavery supporters, Hitler supporters, members of the Klan for crying out loud in your own party.
Those were your governors that stood in the schoolhouse doors, Bagala.
Those were your sheriffs who unleashed the dogs against the protesters and the fire hoses.
And by the way, Mr. Bagala, was your Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, who represented the Klan for several years in Alabama, who was FDR's first appointment to the Supreme Court?
You Democrats, Bagala, you guys, you need to come to grips with your own past, forehead, because you got the fingerprints of slavery, Nazism, Segregation all over the place.
All over this country.
Democrat fingerprints everywhere.
Joe Kennedy.
FDR had to get him the hell out of Great Britain as the ambassador because he was a sympathizer of the Nazis.
Not their policies.
It was all money, but he was still a sympathizer.
And was your Speaker of the House running a call over half this country, Nazis?
Who's next on this show?
We have time, yes.
Mark in Houston.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Yes, Rush.
In the world of blue-collar jobs, there's two rather enviable jobs to land.
One of them is a union job, you know, with good pay and good benefits.
The other is a government job, be it federal, state, local, park rangers, police firemen, city managers.
Those people, I believe, are at the highest risk for being forced into this health care system if it passes.
But the one interesting thing is when the government people get these jobs, they always say, well, the pay's not good, but the benefits are great.
And that's almost universal across this country about a county job or a state job or whatever.
I'm thinking that those guys are going to be forced into this program through the federal government's powers and abilities to be able to.
It's possible.
It's possible.
I happen to know a lot about local government.
I happen to know a lot.
I do.
And one thing I know about local government is every damn one of them is in over their heads in debt.
And they're raising property taxes left and right.
I know local communities that are paying police and firemen a cumulative total of a couple, $3 million each over the period of their retirement.
Now, I guarantee you that if the public option comes available, that you're going to have a bunch of local communities.
You know what?
We're going to save some money here.
