Time Text
Hi and welcome back.
It's Rush Limboy and the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.
I am the most trusted man in America.
I am America's real anchor man.
I serve as well as America's truth detector.
And in the age of health care in a sick country, I am the doctor of democracy.
Great to have you here, my good friends, telephone number 800-282-2882 and the email address L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
What a dramatic kickoff to the summer of recovery.
Oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute now, it's July 20th.
Summer's one month old.
Summer was June 21st and July 20th today.
Senator Bite Midge, Vice President Bite Me calling it the summer of recovery.
What a way to kick it off.
Unemployment insurance extended now to two and a half years.
Two and a half years.
The media storyline is the Democrats want it, the Republicans don't.
It's not the story.
The story is how the hell are we going to pay for this?
And the substory is at what point does unemployment compensation become welfare?
The longer you pay people not to work, the longer they're not going to try to work.
At what point does unemployment compensation become welfare?
And I'm here to tell you that we may be on the cusp of it.
Unemployment compensation is just another welfare program.
What do you mean, how dare me?
Somewhere there needs to be truth, and there's journalism going on on this program.
It's not emergency spending.
We don't have the money for this.
This is another expanded welfare program.
It's an unpassed, there's it's it's it's a welfare program.
It's not called that.
It's called unemployment compensation insurance.
Now two and a half years.
It used to be you got this for a month or two, thirteen weeks.
Then it gets expanded and expanded and expanded, expanded.
So what a dramatic kickoff to the summer of recovery.
Effectively a new welfare program put in place by the Obama regime.
Now is it just me?
Is it just me or does it no snurdly?
What are you having a fit in there for?
Oh, it's not front page.
So what?
There is no media.
I don't care what they say about when are you people on the other side of glass going to realize I don't care what they say about me.
You think what I say is hurting the cause?
You think you you think that you think the kinds of things I'm saying gonna hurt me?
You think it's gonna hurt the EIB no?
No.
Let me tell you something.
The big question, the Republican Party has to answer for itself or answer itself, and it's it's it's not it's not uh anything other than how the hell are we gonna contrast ourselves with these people?
How are we going to contrast ourselves with these people?
That's all the Republican Party has to answer.
Who are we?
What do we believe in, or what are we going to tell people we're for?
That's all they have to do.
I happen to be doing it.
And part of doing that is explaining who the hell they are.
And if you don't have the guts to explain who they are like they lie about who we are, then they're gonna continue to lose.
They mock us, we mock them.
They lie about us, we tell the truth about them.
We're not even we don't have the courage to do that.
This isn't unemployment compensation insurance.
This is a welfare program, and it's needed because the Democrat Party has destroyed the job sector.
That's all you have to say.
We wouldn't even need this if there were jobs being created out there, and there's one reason that jobs aren't being created.
His name is Barack Obama and his party, the Democrat Party.
They're killing jobs.
They are killing the private sector, and it is not an accident.
Is it just me?
Or does it seem a tad off key to publicly demand extending unemployment benefits during the summer of recovery?
That sounds like an admission of failure.
Call me crazy, you and I both know we're not.
But I would think that a president during a summer of recovery would announce a reduced demand for jobless benefits.
I would think if it were me, that the way I would define the success of my summer recovery is the is that there is less need for unemployment insurance.
A reduced demand for jobless benefits.
To those of us in the recovery class or in the country class, recovery means healing.
Means coming back.
Means onward Christian soldiers.
Means we're on the march.
In this case, a healing or recovering economy.
But extending jobless benefits feels more like unabated bleeding.
I don't care what Durbin said.
Certainly, I don't care what Durbin says, I don't care what I don't, I don't care what they say.
You can't believe what they say.
They're totally agenda-oriented.
What Durbin said every dollar of unemployment benefits creates a dollar 60 cent stimulus in the economy once it circulates?
And he cited David Brooks.
Oh, well.
Well, there you go.
There you go.
Next, let's quote Colin Powell.
Let's quote Colin Powell, what the Republican Party needs to do.
That is support Barack Obama.
Yeah, where do we go next?
Let's start quoting John Kerry.
We're going to quote Durbin.
Let's quote John Kerry, and then let's uh let's quote Chris Dodd and Barney Frank.
Yeah, that's what the ticket is.
In the meantime, the regime, while promising recovery is extending welfare benefits.
Summer of recovery, I think we're coming back.
What's what's the next summer of recovery PR event?
The president going to invite the press to a series of high-profile ribbon cutting ceremonies for soup kitchens?
Hey, look at look at our summer recovery.
We're opening new soup kitchens here right in Manhattan.
President Obama going to announce in the Rose Garden plans to expand and refurbish unemployment offices so that the people go in to get their checks have a more pleasant experience.
Maybe put pictures of Shirley Sherrod on the wall in there to see a real American hero.
How about the president hosting a televised government cheese giveaway from the Oval Office to herald the summer of recovery?
What's the difference?
Cheese giveaway, refurbished unemployment offices.
Blue ribbon ceremonies to inaugurate new soup kitchens.
Well, we're extending unemployment benefits in the summer of recovery.
What the hell?
Now the Heritage Foundation.
I'm sorry, it's the Wall Street Journal today.
Yeah, Wall Street Journal.
This is great, by the way.
Stimulating unemployment.
If you can't create any jobs, pay people not to work.
Presidents typically invite Americans to appear at Rose Garden press conferences to trumpet their policy successes.
But yesterday we saw what may have been a first.
President Obama introduced three Americans, an auto worker, a fitness center employee, and a woman in real estate who have been out of work so long they underscore the failure of his economic program.
And yet they're up there and he's touting them because they are going to receive welfare checks now.
Called unemployment compensation.
And we can't make hay out of this.
We have a president who brings three examples of his abject failure into the Oval Office and heralds them as a sign of his success in extending unemployment benefits.
Sure, Obama's purpose was to lobby Congress for the eighth extension of jobless benefits to a record 99 weeks or nearly two years, and he whacked Senate Republicans for blocking it all.
Though Republicans are merely asking that the extension be paid for.
You know, there's 300 plus billion unspent in the porculus fund?
Why not why not go get the money from that?
Oh no, no, no, it's slush money, slush fund.
That's for uh that's for reelection efforts coming up in uh in November.
But there Obama was obliged to concede that 18 months after his porculus bill, there are still five job seekers for every job opening, and that two and a half million Americans will soon run out of unemployment benefits.
What happens when the 99 weeks of benefits runs out?
Will the president demand they be extended to three years or four?
Yes.
Because we're creating a new entitlement, unemployment.
We're creating a new welfare program.
Unemployment.
Only last week, Vice President Joe Bite me was hailing the stimulus for saving or creating three million jobs.
This week, the White House says we need even more stimulus in the form of jobless checks to make up for the jobs the original spending stimulus didn't create.
The one possibility the president and congressional democrats won't entertain is that their own spending and taxing and regulating and labor union favoritism have become the main hindrance to job creation.
No, they know that.
Of course they're not going to admit it.
The overall economy has been expanding for at least a year, ostensibly, but employers don't seem confident enough to add new workers.
The elite Ivy League degreed and honored economists of the ruling class who sold us the stimulus say it's a mystery.
We had it in the New York Times.
Where are the jobs?
They're asking it.
Where were the jobs?
We did what John Mayor Keane said to do.
We we did what Obama told us to do.
We did we have Mark said to do.
We did it with Castro's done.
Where were the jobs?
Where are the jobs?
Genuine who done it?
Cole Sherlock Holmes.
Somebody's got the jobs out there, they're hiding them.
Who is it?
Mitch McConnell is a John Boehner?
Maybe Palin.
Palin's hiding the jobs.
Palin has the jobs.
She's got them in Alaska.
She's waiting to parcel them out till she gets elected.
Somebody conduct a quick search.
The Democrats are desperately these Ivy League educated ruling class twerps are looking for the jobs.
And meanwhile, they can't find the jobs, so they bring up three people unemployed forever as signs of success.
Because they're going to get unemployment checks for two and a half years now.
Democrats are subsidizing more unemployment.
You subsidize something, you get more of it.
So if you pee pay pay pill not pay people not to work, they might decide not to work.
How's your Tuesday?
Uh, folks.
And we're back.
Rush Limbaugh, the cutting edge of societal evolution.
This morning on the MS NBC Live.
The anchorette InfoBabe Nora O'Donnell spoke with Congressional Correspondent Luke Russert about the vote to extend unemployment benefits.
She said to him, This vote's gonna happen this afternoon.
It's a big deal.
A new senator, of course, but there's a lot of politics going on, isn't there, Luke?
They look to probably pass culture at 2.30, final passage this afternoon.
The bill will then be sent to the House tomorrow, where it will be passed quite quickly, and hopefully trying to get President Obama's signature Democrats hope by Wednesday evening, so that in theory states can start doling out the unemployment benefits on Thursday morning.
That's the time frame the Democrats would like to see.
There you go, dole out the benefits.
Thursday said a couple days ago.
Dole out the benefits.
Democrats get the states can start doling out the unemployment benefits on Thursday.
And you smirk at me when I refer to this as a new welfare program.
All right.
Uh from Washington, AP.
The unemployment rate fell in most states in June.
Whoa.
Whoa, maybe we're recovering.
The unemployment rate fell in most states in June.
Uh uh.
Oh.
Oh.
Mainly because more people gave up searching for work and were no longer counted.
Fewer states saw job increases, the latest evidence, the economic recovery slowing in the summer of recovery.
Never mind.
I thought I had breaking news from uh state controlled media.
Dave, Oakdale, California, we start with you.
You're first on the phones today.
Nice to have you with us, sir.
Nice to talk to you, Russ.
Congratulations on your recent marriage.
Thank you, sir, very much.
Yep.
Um, well, basically, I'm a new listener and I voted for Obama and I'm having some real voter regret.
And I uh just kind of want to touch basis on how you're talking about the college education, uh all the professors and the trying to push their agenda down on the uh country class here.
Uh uh I think it starts a lot sooner than in college, so you know.
Speaking of when I was in school just a few years ago, I'm in my late twenties now, but I remember in high school.
There was a kid who wrote an essay and actually ended up getting some college scholarship money for basically, you know, I'm proud for him and had the corner, but it was just all about how proud he was to be African American and his struggles his family went through in America and how proud he was, and all I could think was if I could change those words to how proud I was to be white, I would have been probably thrown out of class, expelled, sent through psychiatrists, you know applauded and handed college scholarship money.
I just when did you come to that realization?
At the time or just recently.
At the time I was thinking that, and I've thought it years since, and I've always kind of known as a double standard, but we all just kind of sit quietly and let it happen because there's a lot of underlying guilt that's been going on for generations.
Absolutely.
Yeah, it's it's actually it's really bad.
That they push it on us, and it's crazy how many people actually feel it.
It's and they don't realize it either.
That's the sad part.
All right.
Why did you vote Yeah?
Probably.
Why did you vote for Obama?
Why did I vote for Obama?
I guess I fell for the propaganda before the election, I was actually a registered libertarian.
Which I like libertarians.
Also, but uh why did I vote for Obama?
That's a good question.
I guess I fell for the hook line of the sinker of the propaganda.
I was really frustrated like a lot of people, really angry.
Feeling like the country is going in a bad direction, and now since he's taken office, I feel like we're going in an even worse direction.
It's actually truly scary.
I can't hardly believe it.
With the uh his lackluster reaction to the BP oil spill, and the straw that really broke the donkey's back for me is when he went after uh Arizona on the immigration debate.
That that really beyond makes me angry.
I can't really stand that.
In Oakville, California, we had a Hershey factory here that actually shut down and moved operation to Mexico, and this town's still hurting over that.
So that really hit all.
Wait a second.
They shut down a Hershey chocolate factory in California and moved it to Mexico.
In Oakville, California, Hershey Chocolate Town.
They have a chocolate festival here every year, chocolate tours of the factory.
I used to go on them all the time when I was a little kid.
It it's it's disgusting.
Everybody knows that chocolate will melt in Mexico.
I can't believe Hershey did that.
I can't either.
It was like a slap to the face.
It's and to see them go down to Arizona and go after those people.
It feels like a slap in the face here.
The whole country should have done what Arizona's doing.
And for them to act like what what how can you tell what an illegal is?
Here's your first clue.
When you pull them over, all they have are IDs from Mexico.
Is that racist?
Um common sense.
Uh I can't believe you voted for Obama.
What in the hell got into you?
This doesn't sound like a new revelation the way you're thinking now.
Yet you got caught up in all this uh Obama hype.
I I'll bet I bet he wanted an end to the partisan bickering, maybe believed in the great unifier business.
Thank you.
Dave, great to have you on the program.
Here's uh here's Barbara in Copec, New York.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Russ.
Thank you so much for taking my calls.
God bless you for saying what you mean.
Mean what you say and your honesty.
Thank you, ma'am.
I'm I'm just it's an honor to speak with you.
Appreciate that.
Uh I'm sitting here fuming as I'm listening to you.
Um I'm a fifty-eight-year-old white female, proud to be a Tea Party Patriot.
I'm not racist.
I'm not violent.
I'm just no longer silent.
Which brings me to make this call Rush.
I am so sick of hearing the NAACP, Jeremiah Wright, other black left wing activists, the liberal elitists speak about black oppression, racism, using this as an excuse to further their agenda.
Rush, I grew up on welfare in the coal mine region of Northeast Pennsylvania.
Our family was berated, we were chaptized, we were scorned upon because we're the only welfare family on the block.
It was the most demeaning experience of my young life in family.
There was.
And Rush, my story isn't unique.
When I turned seven years old, I was the baby of the family out of three children.
My mother went to work at the state seamstress in a dress factory.
Dad was a coal miner.
Coal mines closed down.
Dad was also a World War II battle of debulch uh veteran.
And uh when he came back from the war, um work was just not in his um in his life anymore.
Um but getting off welfare rush, when my mother went to work, we couldn't stand it.
It made me work harder to better my life.
It made me work harder to be more proud of the American American.
Well, you see, that was back in the days before the uh definition of being an American equaled being entitled to largesse from the government.
Mm-hmm.
Uh that was uh that was before the whole concept of fun employment.
Uh back then you'd have stories about how wonderfully liberating it was to be out of work like you do today.
Uh family growing closer spiritually and so forth, taking advantage of being uh out of work.
And on welfare, being supported by other people.
But that's a bygone era.
As you are pointing out.
Rush Limbaugh, Helen on loan from God, a most trusted man in America.
Here behind the golden EIB microphone, back to the audio sound bites.
Let's go to this.
Let's go to this big celebratory thing at the uh at the uh uh Rose Garden yesterday.
This is Obama heralding the success of the summer recovery for bringing up three people out of work long enough to receive unemployment benefits for two and a half years.
That's how successful.
The summer of recovery is.
Here's the parade of victims.
We need to pass it for men like Jim Chukallis, who's with me here today.
Jim worked as a parts manager at a Honda dealership two years ago.
He's posted resumes everywhere.
He's gone door to door looking for jobs.
But he hasn't gotten a single interview.
You believe this?
We need to pass it for women like Leslie Mako, who lost her job at a fitness center last year and has been looking for work ever since.
We need to pass it for Americans like Denise Gibson, who's laid off from a real estate agency earlier this year.
Denise has been interviewing for jobs, but so far nothing's turned up.
Uh, who is this?
This is the president of the United States who announced a year and a half ago a stimulus job to prevent all of this.
This was not going to be happening.
And yet, somehow, he's not president.
He's he's talking as a candidate.
Well, the economy is really bad out there.
Somebody's responsible for this.
These people have been working very, very hard.
Nobody's taking care of them.
Nobody cares about them.
We're going to give them unemployment benefit.
This is unreal.
It's a guy counting the summer of recovery.
He brought us back from the brink, and he brings up three people and tells us no matter how hard they look, they can't find work in his America.
That is it it's no snurdly, it's not gutsy and courageous.
It's predictable.
He knows damn well that what suffices as a media is going to be right in line with him.
This is not this is not guts.
Why didn't he give them a job from his stash?
Why didn't he make them czars of something?
You know, uh make make one of them an assistant to Feinberg, who is in charge of who gets paid at Wall Street.
This is incredible.
It's as though he's not the president.
As though he's not had a jobs program.
Laser length on jobs, he's bringing three people up that are testaments to his failure.
Here's the next bite.
I have to say, after years of championing policies that turned a record surplus into a massive deficit, the same people who didn't have any problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars on tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans are now saying we shouldn't offer relief to middle class Americans like Jim or Leslie or Denise who really need help.
Over the past few weeks, a majority of senators have tried.
Not once, not twice, but three times to extend emergency relief on a temporary basis.
These leaders in the Senate who are advancing a misguided notion that emergency relief somehow discourages people from looking for a job should talk to these folks.
So there's Obama ripping the Republicans for not extending benefits for these citizens of Obamaville.
And is exactly what they are.
These are people living in Obamaville.
Years of championing policies that turned a record surplus into a massive deficit, a lie.
The same people who didn't have any problems spending hundreds of millions, you don't spend money on tax cuts.
But this is it.
And this is this is why we don't have a media.
There is no media, there is no journalism, there is no reporting.
Look, somebody shouting my ear, didn't the media want to fact check these people, find out their stories or true.
Don't make me laugh.
Fact check these people.
Of course they would be fact checked if they were Republicans sturdily.
It's my point.
We're it is silly to make demands of these people.
We know they're not.
We're not convincing anybody to say, well, why don't you go and fact check these people?
The media is there is no media.
The day has come and gone, I think.
Maybe this is what I'm trying to say.
And I have people, I have people who who who just inundate we with emails.
Rush, you need to point this out about how the media is X and the media's why.
What have I been doing for 20 years?
Have you not been listening?
If you don't think I'm explaining it right, go get your own radio show.
The point is, it's a waste of time to point out how the media is not doing their job because there is no media.
They are doing their job.
They are propagandists, and to expect them to do their job is folly and stupidity.
And those of you writing me and telling me to point out what the media is doing, need to get in line and understand I'm way ahead of you.
Huh.
You wouldn't believe it.
Rush, you need it really.
You know, the media this, the media that.
It's always New York Times said, of course the New York Times said that.
Mm-hmm.
Do if I uh Snerdley wants to know if I think these three people really can't find one iota of work out there.
To ask the question is to fall for the trap being set.
The reason they're up there is not because they can't find work.
The reason they're up there is to give Obama faces to show how inconsiderate and heartless Republicans are.
And this is where the Republicans misunderstand.
And to talk about the media not doing its job, oh, we need to find it.
These people really can't find it, it's not the point.
What needs to be pointed out here is that this is a shameless exhibition by the president.
What needs to be pointed out is, as I have done, doesn't anybody find it odd that the architect of a recovery that's brought us back from the brink, brings up three people as shining examples of his failure.
Can we and the Republican side, not we, because I know how to do this, can't they learn to laugh at this schlub?
Isn't it time to learn to laugh at Obama and make fun of Obama and mock Obama?
He is not God's greatest gift.
He is not God.
He is not the Messiah.
He is an ineffective, incompetent man child.
He doesn't have the slightest clue what he's doing.
If you look at this in terms of accepting his premise, if you want to understand Obama, go read rules for radicals.
If you want to understand Obama, go read Sololinsky.
If you want to understand Obama, go listen to Jeremiah Wright.
But if you're going to fall into the trap that Obama wants the best for the country as you define best for the country, then you're forever going to be misunderstanding what's going on here.
I know it's too much to expect.
There should have been a press conference.
Republicans should have been laughing themselves silly at a joint press conference after Obama did this yesterday.
Well, this is really great.
Our president, after a year and a half of economic recovery programs and job stimulus, brings up three people he admits can't find work in his country because of his policies.
That's all you have to do.
Instead of sitting there saying, Why in the media investigate these people?
When are the media doing their job?
Why in the media finding out these people really are gonna work?
This is the point.
All these people are is a distraction that too many people are falling for.
Uh let's see.
Do you want here's another bite?
There's another bite from Obama telling Republicans to put these victims of Obama Bill before their own election.
That attitude, I think, reflects a lack of faith in the American people.
Because the Americans I hear from in letters and meet in town hall meetings.
Americans like Leslie and Jim and Denise.
They're not looking for a handout.
They desperately want to work.
Stop the same thing.
They desperately want to work and they can't find work in your America because they live in Obamaville.
And we're letting this guy get away with this.
We're letting this guy get away with blaming the Republicans for the fact these people can't find a job when the reason they can't find a job is his sorry little blah.
Find a job.
These are honest, decent, hardworking folks who fall on our hard times through no fault of their own, and who have nowhere else to turn except unemployment benefits.
Wrong!
You need emergency relief to help them weather this economic storm.
They're turning to you.
Not to do what's right.
Not for the next election, but for the middle class.
I know it's getting close to an election, but there are times where you put elections aside.
This is one of those times.
I think if anybody's putting elections aside, it's the Republicans.
I mean, the easy thing to do for the election would be to get ahead of Obama and start giving away money.
That's what you would do for the election.
Hi, I'm Mitch McConnell, and I want to give you unemployment benefits for three years, not two and a half.
Top that Obama, and Obama would be happy to.
The people playing to the elections are the Democrats in the media.
I am frustrated.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to give you a glittering and shining example of what we were discussing yesterday in regards to the ruling class and how nobody...
Well, not nobody, but how many people really never get out of high school.
How what they really want is to be accepted into big click.
And in Washington, that's to be part of the ruling class.
Here is this morning on Capitol Hill, Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Senator Lindsay Grimnesty.
The last election had consequences.
At the end of the day, after the hearing, it was not a hard decision for me to make.
I thought she did a very good job, and she will serve this nation honorably.
And it would not have been someone I would have chosen.
But the person who did choose President Obama, I think, chose wisely.
Well, there you have it.
That's Lindsey Graham Nasty supporting Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court.
And this is basically Senator Graham Nasty begging to be accepted into the ruling class.
I want to be with you boys.
I want to be with you guys.
I mean, how in the world do you say that I would not have chosen somebody like her, but the person who did choose her chose wisely?
What?
What?
Thank you, Senator Graham Nasty.
Mesa, Arizona.
This is Carmen.
You're next in the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hello.
Hello, Rush.
How are you today?
Fine and dandy.
Thank you.
Congratulations on your wedding.
Thank you.
Um I am a housewife, mother of three from Mesa, Arizona.
My husband and I own our own business, self-employed out of our home.
And in reference to what you were saying in the first hour to these journalists who now say they don't know who Obama is.
We knew.
We were yelling at at our television sets.
Saying, how can anybody believe this man?
Just by listening to him speak.
We knew who he was.
We knew how radical he was.
Now we're not the smartest people in the world.
And they did.
And they are supposed to be.
No, no, no.
Carmen, they did too.
They know who he is.
Oh makes me angry.
All this pap from Richard Cohen.
Gee, Obama, who are you?
They're what they're afraid of is that what that their job is trying to keep us from finding out who he is.
They know who he is.
They're losing in that endeavor.
It's amazing to me.
It's just totally amazing.
We have friends and family who are supposed to be very smart who voted Democrat for the first time in their lives.
And um and we my husband and I are sitting here watching each other saying, How could they do this?
They're supposed to be smart people.
Well, we need to redefine smart.
I think they probably thought they were doing the right thing.
This was, after all, presented them as something historic.
Uh and they wanted to be part of it.
And believe me, you know, don't discount this.
There are a lot of people who thought electing the first black president would be the end of racial strife in America.
Smart people.
There were smart people who uh actually thought that.
But such is not the case.
Jack in uh on the New York Throughway, great to have you.
EIB Network.
Hello, sir.
Hello, sir.
Congratulations on your wedding.
Thank you very much.
Um you're absolutely right about unemployment, uh becoming a welfare.
Uh the new welfare.
I have customers who have been trying to hire uh people, and the question they're asked uh, will you pay me off the books so I can keep my unemployment?
It's not worth you're not going to pay me enough.
You're paying me more than I'm getting now, but it's not enough to stop working, to come back to work.
By design, in many cases.
By design in many cases.
It's it is truly amazing.
I want you to say that again.
You have people.
You you have customers who've been trying to hire people.
And the question they've asked, will you pay me off the books?
Will you pay me off the books?
Meaning, will you pay me cash so I can continue to collect unemployment benefits?
Yes.
Right.
Gaming the system.
Yes.
This is a New Jersey where the unemployment benefits are very high.
Well, of course.
They're getting over $500 a year.
Hey, look, New Jersey's full of entrepreneurs.
And they probably only be making dollars.
This is look.
Entrepreneurs come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, and there are people recognize how to game the system out there.
And they're they're doing it.
So maybe not something you and I would do, but they see an opportunity.
And they say, you know what?
It's going to be easier.
This guy can pay me off the books.
He doesn't have to pay me any taxes.
He'd have to report that I work for him.
I can still get unemployment benefits.
He benefits, I benefit.
I get rich.
I get paid more by not working and working than if I went and took a real job and had health benefits.

I'm just that this is the kind of behavior that is uh spawned, but certain creative people, they're always out there gaming the system.
We are, well, not we, but the uh so-called media eagerly awaiting a joint press conference between the British Prime Minister Cameron and President Obama.
You know, I really don't understand why Obama is so hostile to the British.
I mean, there if there's one country that Obama should apologize to, it's Great Britain.
