Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Let's see.
AP, 8.15 p.m. last night.
Wrangel denies he is stepping down from the Ways and Means chairmanship.
3.11 a.m.
You bet your life, Wrangel told reporters saying he would remain as the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
9.25 a.m., barely six hours later, Representative Charles Wrangel announced he will temporarily step down as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, saying he didn't want his ethics controversy to jeopardize election prospects for fellow Democrats.
Chuck, there's nothing you can do about that, buddy.
They're already cooked.
They're toast, and Tim Kaine's out there saying, hey, you know, we don't care.
We don't care what happens.
We'll lose.
If the Republicans want to make health care the biggest issue in this election, fine, go for it.
And Obama's demanding now that the nuclear option be used, although three years ago he was dead, well, five years ago, he's dead set against it.
Anyway, folks, great to have you here.
It's Rush Limbaugh, the EIB Network, and the Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Nice to have you here.
We look forward to speaking to you as the program unfolds today.
And I'm told that Obama is going to make his big health care announcement at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
I wonder if they had scheduled that earlier, but Charles Wrangell took up all the oxygen.
I mean, it's supposed to be that big day.
And what today open with?
Another Democrat having to quit something because of some corruption scandal.
Charles Wrangell.
Now, what do they do?
You know who's next in line for this?
Probably the most, and it's a close call here, the most genuinely insane Democrat in the House of Representatives is next in line.
Fortney Stark from the Bay Area.
Fortney Pete Stark.
But however, the Congressional Black caucus behind the scenes is pressuring the speaker, Nancy Pelosi, to go deeper, to go further down the chain of command.
You got to get a black face in there, they're saying.
I mean, you can't humiliate Wrangell by forcing him to give up the gavel and replacing him with a lunatic, insane white guy.
You need to get a black guy in there, and that person will be John Lewis from Georgia.
So have you heard anything further on that, Snurdy, as to who's going to take the gavel at the House Ways and Means Committee?
Okay.
I don't know why everybody is so upset about this.
I really do not understand.
This little piece of tape from JFK, air traffic control from the tower, has just got people in a tizzy today, and I don't really understand why.
Testu 171, safe for takeoff.
Clear for takeoff, Teblu 171.
You get guys when the kids are out of school.
I can bring my kid to work.
Techno 171, contact departure.
Over to departure, Teblu 171.
Awesome job.
4-0-3, clear for take-off.
4-0-3 here.
Takeoff.
Have a great day.
Amax 4-03, contact departure.
I got some meat off.
Call Dr. Parker.
Parker 3.
How do you?
Okay, so a kid.
How old is this kid?
It's an unidentified kid, probably the son of one of the controllers being told what to say.
So you got a kid, inexperienced, not qualified, not trained, no experience, no prior experience, telling airplanes when to cross runways, when to take off, when to land, even speaking to them in Spanish.
And everybody's all out of whack.
Folks, don't you understand this is where we end up when we elect another kid to direct the whole country.
This kid in the air traffic control sounds more confident and more competent what he's doing than Obama.
So we got this, we got a what, a 45-year-old kid directing the country.
No, there's no problem with it.
Put a little kid in the air traffic control tower.
People have a fit.
Not I, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm all for opportunity for the youth of America.
Kid did fine to me.
Sounded fine to me.
Now, of course, the parent, the air traffic controller has been suspended here.
But there's good news.
While one federal worker has been furloughed, the Transportation Department furloughs are over because Jim Bunning and the Democrats struck a deal.
Furloughs at the Department of Transportation have come to an end and employees are to return to work Wednesday.
Man, I pity all of those poor transportation workers had to take an entire day off from work with pay.
It's tough out there.
In a press release Tuesday evening, Transportation Secretary Rayla Hood said, I'm pleased that the Senate has acted to break its log jam and extend the Highway Trust Fund for another 30 days.
This means that our valued employees may return to work.
It also means that their important work, getting the economy back on its feet, ensuring Americans' safety, and keeping critical construction projects moving will be able to continue.
Wow, who knew that the Department of Transportation had such heavy responsibilities like creating jobs?
I thought that was Obama's gig.
Anyway, speaking of Jim Bunning, I think we need to applaud the guy, and I think he has shown the way.
The Jim Bunning approach should be used across the board now.
If the Democrats are going to violate budget reconciliation process, if they are going to violate it, then shut the damn place down.
Shut it down.
It's time to take a serious stand.
There's enough talk that's going on now.
It really is time for Republicans to stand for the people who are paying for all of this, and that's us.
Government is not supposed to be about redistribution and subsidies and payouts and bribes and kickbacks to union people.
It is supposed to be about promoting a healthy society and freedom for the individual within an ordered system called the Constitution.
It is time, folks, to start kicking ass against the welfare state.
It is time to stop this.
Jim Bunning showed the way.
Use the Senate rules to force senators to actually vote and debate and take a stand on this stuff.
Ignore the media, which is now attempting to make Bunning out to be a lunatic fringe kook.
And they're trying to portray Republicans as embarrassed by the guy.
Why is this controversial?
Why is it controversial?
Who cares what the Washington hacks say about it?
They're now being dismissed by the people.
What in the world is controversial about a man standing up and saying, we don't have the money.
We got a rule here says we're going to pay for it before we spend it.
And we're not paying for it here, so I'm not going to let it happen.
And that's controversial.
When we're running a $1.5 trillion deficit, it's only going to get worse.
Our total national debt, $13, $14 trillion.
You want to see our future if we don't get our hands around this?
Greece has announced a new austerity plan worth $6.5 billion in savings to deal with a country's unprecedented financial crisis.
A government spokesman said the measures are split between tax increases, new revenues and so forth, and spending cuts.
He said today the measures include trimming civil servants' annual salaries with a 30% cut in their holiday bonuses, freezing pensions, and imposing further cuts on stipends and bonuses.
Greece also increased the sales tax from 19% to 21%.
They raised taxes on adult beverages, cigarettes, luxury cars, yachts, precious stones, and leather goods.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, a government guy said it's necessary for the survival of our country and our economy.
You see how they do this?
They make it so dire, so catastrophic.
The only answer is more taxes, and these taxes will not produce more revenue.
And I believe the spending cuts when I see them.
But I want you to try to get your arms around this by imagining going into Walmart and having a sales tax at 21% on everything you buy in there.
The New York Times has a blog today called Hot, what is it?
Hot, hot stuff, hot, hot.
I should have put it at the top of the city.
Anyway, it's, yes, here it is.
What's the name of it?
Dot Earth is the name of the blog.
To meet, and the writer here is Cynthia in Banu.
To meet the Obama administration's targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, some researchers say, Americans may have to experience $7 a gallon gasoline to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector 14% from 2005 levels by 2020, which is what Obama has mandated.
The cost of driving must simply increase, according to a forthcoming report by researchers at Harvard's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
You have 14% targets set in the EPA's budget for fiscal 2010, which Obama wrote.
So you must feel pain.
If we're going to save the climate, we're going to reduce the greenhouse gases, and if we're going to perpetuate this hoax, you people have to feel the pain.
You people are going to have to suffer $7 a gallon gasoline recommended by some researchers at Harvard.
Those are the people Obama loves.
Those are the people Obama listens to.
Do not think for a moment that this is out of the realm of possibility.
Take a look at where we are now after just over a year and then realize we haven't even gotten to the bad stuff yet that this guy has planned.
Well, Snerdley just shouted in my ear over the IFB, Americans will not stand for $7 a gallon.
I've been saying for the last 20 years that Americans will not stand for X, and they're standing for it.
This is the first major pushback.
94, but that was a post office scandal in the House and the bank and a bunch of corruption stuff.
This is the first real big time in my life.
Now, there have been others.
Don't misunderstand, but this is a huge pushback.
And they're going to ram this down our throats anyway.
This is, make no question, make no mistake, they're going to try to do it.
They're dead serious about this, and they do not care about the outcome.
Have you seen news reports on the Texas gubernatorial primary?
You talk about a bunch of people in the media who are devoted to templates and premises, which are so wrong.
Anti-Washington message propels Perry in Texas.
Conservative incumbent Governor Rick Perry rode strong anti-Washington rhetoric to a victory over a sitting U.S. Senator for the Texas Republican gubernatorial nomination in a race that could be a model in this year's crucial U.S. midterm congressional elections.
Perry told supporters after handily defeating K. Bailey Hutchison, we are taking our country back one vote at a time.
After trailing Hutchison in initial polls in 2009, Perry surged to a commanding lead by mobilizing his party's most conservative members and harnessing disenchantment with Obama and Washington politics.
For those of you at Reuters who wrote this, and for those of you elsewhere in the state-controlled media, if you think that this was anti-Washington, you are only maybe 30% right.
This was a primary.
This was a primary between two different kinds of Republicans, well-known Republican politicians.
And the more conservative one was overwhelmingly elected.
And the more conservative one who won had Sarah Palin backing him.
K. Bailey Hutchison had the Washington Republican establishment backing her.
All you need to know here is that in Texas, Republican voters were saying no to rhino Republicans as much, if not more, than they were saying no to Washington.
In the sense that Rhino Republicans are the same kind of Republicans, Democrats, liberal Democrats to a certain extent, you might be able to make the case, but this is a primary.
And this was simply Republican voters, conservative voters saying, we don't want the Republican Party run by the Rhinos, by moderate Republicans.
And Sarah Palin, who's supposed to be deaf, was right in there backing.
And do you want the names of who was backing K. Bailey Hutchison?
Do you want the names?
Bush, Rove, the party people, the party loyalists.
I'm not criticizing.
I'm just illustrating.
So this is as much about anti-Washington as it is about anti-Orhino and other things.
So I got to take a break here, folks, a little long.
We'll come back at big time audio from Obama several years ago, several different occasions, saying, no way, we're going to do health care with just 51 votes.
This is too big.
We're going to need supermajorities to do this, to do it properly.
Of course, whatever he says, whenever he says it is then the expiration date is just seconds after he finishes.
Quick timeout.
Back with more after this.
Hive.
Welcome back, Rushlin Bohr.
Talent on loan from God.
Telephone number 800-282-2882.
This is from ABC News.
Just days after his doctors expressed concerns about his rising cholesterol levels, his alcohol intake, and his smoking, President Obama dropped by a family-style restaurant for an authentic Southern-style lunch in Savannah, Georgia.
In between events, Obama paid a visit to Mrs. Wilkes' dining room, made it clear he didn't want to hear it from the press about his choice of lunch.
I don't want any lectures about my cholesterol.
And don't tell Michelle.
You know, I'm beginning to wonder about this marriage.
This guy is daily painting her as a nag.
Every day, don't tell her.
Yeah, I go home.
I'm getting grief about this.
I shouldn't be eating desserts.
Now he tells the press, don't lecture me about my, hey, Obama, why don't you shut the hell up and stop lecturing us about our lives?
Same thing with Mayor Bloomberg.
We're not supposed to eat trans fats.
We're not supposed to eat salt.
We're not supposed to have Mickey D's in poor neighborhoods.
Look at that.
Stop nagging us.
Stop nagging.
You don't want to be nagged about what you eat.
We don't either.
We don't even nagged about obesity statistics.
We don't want to be nagged about anything.
You don't like it?
Well, you're nagging the whole country.
One way to look at it.
Quick phone call here.
Andrea in Omaha, Nebraska.
Great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Hi, Rush.
Thank you for taking my call, and I love listening to you when I can.
And I'm actually driving from Omaha to Lincoln on Route 80.
And my comment is that I think it's fine for the people on the east and west coast in those densely populated areas.
They can pay $7 a gallon for gas that'll cut their driving if they have access to mass transportation.
But I think the rest of us in the rural states ought to be exempt.
There is no mass transportation here in Nebraska to speak of, for example.
So I think we should be exempt from that.
Let the liberal people who've built all their mass transportation systems enjoy the fruits of it.
Well, you're asking essentially if it's a cornhusker kickback.
That's right, you betcha.
Yeah, well, at least you're honest about it.
In the same spirit here as Senator Nelson, the way this would happen, of course, would be a carbon tax, the initial federal tax on every gallon of gas.
They couldn't just proclaim the price to be seven bucks.
They'd have to have, if they wanted it to be a constant $7, they have to have a floating tax, but they won't.
They'll have a tax that'll get it to $7 or even higher.
I understand the point you're making because the people who have been advocating for this are the people, the leftists, who live in these big urban centers on the coasts.
Okay, if you want it, you got it.
That's right.
They don't have to.
I mean, I actually just left a job commuting 95 miles each way, three days a week.
And there was absolutely, I mean, how could you do that without, you know, there was no mass transportation.
You couldn't.
You bicycle it.
You couldn't.
Well, to do it, you would have to change your lifestyle so drastically.
Yeah, and I started it when the gas was like about $4 a gallon, so it was kind of painful a little bit, but yeah.
We have learned that $4 a gallon is a tipping point for people in this country.
The point of this story, remember now, this is recommendations to the government from some egghead researchers at Harvard.
And it's all based on a faulty premise and a hoax.
And that is that man-made greenhouse gases are causing climate change, global warming, or whatever.
That is just the vehicle.
This is the greatest, one of the greatest ways they can limit freedom.
You limit mobility, you limit freedom, you create even more dependence on other things to get by.
This is where we're headed with this administration.
Screams of joy and sometimes panic at the very mention of my name.
Rush Limbaugh, the most dangerous man in America.
Look, folks, I'm getting emails here.
You can't be serious.
You notice anything wrong with a five-year-old in the air traffic controls?
Of course.
Ladies and gentlemen, I was simply trying to make an illustration.
What's the difference in a totally unqualified kid in a control tower to Barack Obama in the Oval Office?
Now, there was an Aeroflot disaster.
It's a Russian airline.
They serve vodka in the cockpit on that airline.
Look, if you lived there, that'd be your high point.
There was an Aeroflot disaster sometime in the 90s.
200 people were killed when the pilot let his 15-year-old son take the stick for a few minutes, and the kid made a turn that the plane could not recover from, which is again another analogy for the Obama presidency.
A kid takes control of the wheel, makes a turn that the country can't recover from.
That's where we're headed.
Thankfully, the United States of America is a little bit more durable than an Aeroflot Russian-made jetliner.
By the way, Dmitry Medvedev, who's the president of Russia, is livid over their pathetic performance in the Olympics and is demanding everybody involved resign.
And if they don't, they'll be fired.
They say there's a worst winter.
They used to own it.
You know, back in the old Soviet Union days where the East German women were men, you couldn't tell the difference.
Back in the Irish Honecker days, oh, those, what great days.
I mean, I mean, you talk about human growth hormone.
Our athletes today have no clue what human growth hormone is compared to what the Soviets were doing.
And still, our amateur hockey players beat the Soviet Red Army.
But the East German women, for crying out loud, they had thighs bigger than John Daly's waist.
And everybody commented on it, but there was nothing anybody could do because they were the Soviets and they were going to do whatever they wanted to do.
But I just, of course, ladies and gentlemen, it's wrong for a little kid, but I do say, I'll tell you this.
If that air traffic controller had brought his daughter in there, nobody'd say a word.
Take your daughter to work day, remember that?
If he'd brought a little girl in there, Air Flight 450, please crush it right right now.
Contact your porch.
Oh, the feminazis will be having a great day here.
Everybody, we celebrating here the emancipation of women.
There wouldn't be one complaint at all.
We're going to get to health care to me.
I got some calls from Texas I want to take about what happened there in the primary.
We'll start at Mac Allen with Jeremy.
Great to have you on the program, sir.
Hello.
Hello, sir.
How you doing?
Mainly just, I heard you talking about Texas.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down.
Got it.
Just a little.
All right.
Well, it was mainly calling about Texas.
You know, you were talking about how Perry won and how there's a different mentality in Texas.
I mean, I don't know if you frequent the place, but.
I frequent the place.
I'm in Texas.
McAllen is, I don't know if you know, mid-sized city that's number one in the nation for job creation, job growth, economy.
So we're not really feeling it, but we want to keep it that way.
And there's a lot of people with bumper stickers if you just drive around here, you know, asking for the Republic of Texas to come back.
So just wanted to kind of voice that, just kind of see what you thought about that.
Well, I've been going to Texas a lot.
I have favorite restaurants in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas.
I have some good friends from McAllen.
I've not been there.
I have been to Houston countless times.
And every time I've been there, I sense what you're talking about.
Being a Texan is a Texan.
It's something that I don't know.
I mean, I guess you just have to take some pride in.
I mean, of course, our city is doing really well, but a lot of it has to do with income from Mexico coming over.
We're so close to the border that we have all this income coming over from the super wealthy in Mexico.
But I mean, you talk about $7 gas and all that other stuff.
I mean, that stuff will affect hugely our economy.
And I think that's Texas.
That's the idea.
$7 a gallon gasoline is destined and designed to ruin your economy.
It's designed to reorder your lifestyle.
I don't mean to be yelling at you, Jeremy.
It's not to save the planet because we can't save it or destroy it.
It's not about climate change.
It's about restricting your mobility, restricting your freedom.
That's what it's about.
And, of course, redistributing wealth, returning a nation's wealth to its rightful owners.
Corpus Christi is next.
And Carl, great to have you on the program.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Dittos from Corpus.
How are you this morning?
Very fine.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Good.
Rush, really, I think in my mind, what happened yesterday is I went and pulled the lever for Rick Perry.
And I believe not only were there a ton of Republicans on, well, a ton of people on the Republicans' line and virtually none on the Democrat lines, which I'm sure that that varied from precinct to precinct.
However, my biggest problem with Kay Bailey is I love her as a person, and I would probably vote for her again as our senator.
I just didn't want somebody from Washington coming to Texas to try and run this state.
And that's basically the bottom line for me: let's take that a step further.
I understand what you're saying, and there's no wrong answer here.
I'm genuinely curious.
What is it about somebody from Washington?
Basically, the whole establishment.
I almost kind of wish we could just kind of blow it up and start all over.
In fact, if I had my way, I'd fire everybody in Washington.
We'd start from scratch, get rid of the communist news media, and just move on.
This is a great country, Rush.
I grew up in a great country.
I don't want my kids, my grandkids, to grow up in a totally tax-dependent country.
And I believe that's exactly where we're headed.
I'm not overly nervous about it, but down here in Texas, we come, we take up our arms when we need to.
The Alamo is a great place to just go and ponder and think about things.
184 men gave their lives basically for freedom.
And it wouldn't be surprised if this continues on over the next few years that we have to make a march on Washington just to hear our voice, make sure our voices are heard.
Because it's your voices are being heard.
They're being ignored, but your voice is being heard.
Yeah.
There's no question about it.
I got to tell you a little story.
Enough time has passed.
I was in Texas at an event.
I guess it was, heck, it might be a year ago now.
And some Washington Republicans found out I was going to be there.
And I got a series of panicked emails.
They said, Governor Perry is going to be at this event and is going to try to angle his way into getting pictures with you so he can put it out that you've endorsed him.
And I said, well, that happens to me everywhere I go.
What's the big?
Washington Republicans trying to warn me away from it.
And I don't endorse primaries anyway, so I can't help it.
It was an event where there's going to be a lot of posing for pictures of everybody.
I can't say that.
I'm not taking a picture with you.
My point here is that there was in the establishment Republican Washington cabal, there was panic that I.L. Rushboe was going to be in an event where Rick Perry was.
It wasn't for him.
He was just going to be there.
So, look, there is a conservative ascendancy that is happening.
Conservatives are on the move, and everybody knows it.
Obama knows it.
Congress knows it.
The Rhino Republicans know it.
And you can see it vote after vote after vote after vote.
And there's really nothing that's going to stop it.
People have had it, and they are going to be heard.
However, they make themselves heard.
They are going to be heard.
A lot of people are going to try to ignore you, but they're not going to be able to.
All right, a quick timeout.
We got any more Texas calls?
Oh, give me Kathy from Santa Barbara, and we'll take a break, and then we'll get started with this healthcare stuff.
It's just more Obama Democrat hypocrisy, but we're going to do it anyway.
It's Kathy in Santa Barbara, next door to where Oprah lives out there in one of her 25 homes.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Yeah, thanks.
Hi, Rush.
I've spoken with you before.
I'm a nurse here in Santa Barbara.
And yesterday you were asking about, you were wondering how we get the information on the obesity rates for children in the United States.
Yeah.
School nurses do screenings, and the data is collected by the county health department.
So actually, anybody could online through their county health department.
Okay, so if the Centers for Disease Control or Michelle Obama go out there and say that we got a childhood obesity problem and 70%, whatever number, making up a number here, 70% of children aged 8 to 16 are obese.
That's an accurate figure, you're telling me?
Fairly accurate.
The nurses do the nurses and some of the aides and stuff help do the statistics.
So in general, yes, I would say they're fairly accurate.
All right.
How obese are the nurses and therefore want to report kids who aren't obese as obese just to make themselves less conspicuous?
How obese are the nurses in the United States?
Yeah.
If you have an obese person in charge of judging obesity, you think there's a possibility.
Speaking from experience, the nurses that I've worked with and myself included are not obese.
I'm not leveling accusations.
I'm just asking a question.
Do we know how many if we know what the childhood obesity rate is?
Do we know what the nurse obesity is of people taking a test?
No, because that would be self-recording, so I don't know how accurate that is.
Oh, see, that's my point.
Thanks, Kathy.
Great to talk to you again.
All right, quick timeout.
Back with much more, hosted by me right after this.
All right, folks, I'm going to really step in it here.
I just got a piece of news.
Buckle up.
This is from the French news agency out of Berlin.
Remember that cute little polar bear cub that the animal rights activist wanted killed rather than raised in a zoo?
Its mother abandoned his name.
They named it Knut.
A cute little thing.
And the animal rights wancos wanted this bear killed because it was not proper to raise it in a zoo.
That's not good.
Well, they raised it in a zoo.
It's still over there.
It's a mean, vicious thing now.
It's not some cute little stuffed toy type thing.
And now another animal rights group.
Yes, I do consider this right now more important than replaying another Obama lie on healthcare.
I do consider this more important than a 347,000 Obama healthcare speech that's coming up in an hour and 10 minutes.
And not a damn thing we don't know about what this man's intentions are.
We'll get to it.
It's a three-hour show.
Animal Rights Wanco Group has called for Knut the Polar Bear to be castrated to avoid incest with his cousin.
Now, folks, if it's good enough for FDR, why the hell is it not good enough for Knut the Polar Bear?
Does Knut the Polar Bear know that his cousin is his cousin?
Does a fish know that it's in water?
Does Knut know that he is a polar bear?
The three-year-old darling of the Berlin Zoo was Eleanor Roosevelt was his second cousin, I think.
Now, I don't know if that means that Hillary is Bill's second cousin, but we've got to cut FDR some slack here because it's entirely possible he never actually had sexual relations with Eleanor.
I don't think we can ever prove it.
But I think I'm better off here sticking with Knut.
A three-year-old darling of the Berlin Zoo, given a female companion, Giovanna, last year, but the German chapter of PETA warned against their mating.
The group's zoo expert, Frank Albrecht, noted that Knut and Giovanna had the same grandfather.
Any offspring would threaten the genetic diversity of the polar bear population in Germany and risk exposing the bear couple to a condition known as incest depression.
Again, did this happen to FDR?
Now, you people at Raise Animals are going to have to help me out on this because isn't there such a thing as inbreeding to create show dogs and so forth?
Seems I've heard that, but this is just absurd.
This is always what the liberals want to do to any guy.
The liberals and PETA's a bunch of liberals, castrate him, just castrate.
That's always what they want to do.
Incest depression, same grandfather, threaten the genetic diversity of the polar bear population in Germany.
Jeanette in Greer, South Carolina.
I'm glad you called.
Welcome to the EIB network.
I wanted to talk to you about an article that I read recently in Wall Street Journal that says that because there's like several vacancies, I think three in the Fed, that Obama has an opportunity now to reshape the Fed.
And somebody brought up Paul Krugman's name, and in the article it said he's just, you know, a definite Keynesian.
And the reason I'm talking about, or I brought this to, I called you rather, is to tell you that I don't think that the American public really understand John Maynard Keynes economics,
and they don't understand that he was a very devout socialist and a Marxist, and that he surrounded himself with Marxists, and that his general theory, which he presented to Roosevelt in 1936,
really was some kind of what they thought was a politically genius stroke because what it did was it palmed off socialism to the world under the guise of saving capitalism.
And this is not something that I've made up.
If you look on the internet under a webpage called Keynes at Harvard, it's all there.
Well, let me say this.
Let me be clear when I say this.
If any, this is very simple to do.
You want more people to know who John Maynard Keynes was.
Okay, attention class.
John Maynard Keynes.
If you want to know what Keynesian economics is, you're living it.
Barack Obama, massive government spending, massive debt, massive redistribution of wealth.
The lie that government spending, deficit spending, can propel economic growth.
She is dead right that they tricked everybody into thinking this is the way we're going to save capitalism.
They had no intention of saving capitalism.
