Time Text
Yes, America's Anchorman is away and this is your undocumented anchorman sitting in.
No supporting paperwork whatsoever.
I snuck across the border in a snowplow truck from Montreal, broke down on the outskirts of New York City and I just climbed out of the truck.
Here I am.
All work great.
Now we were talking in the previous hour about Mayor Bloomberg's claim that 96% 96% of New York City streets were now cleared.
Here is a quote from Vito Turso, a spokesperson for the New York City Department of Sanitation.
Quote, the department does not categorize streets as cleared, unquote.
So where Mayor Bloomberg gets this statistic that 96% of New York City streets have now been cleared, I don't know, but it's not from Vito Terso, the official spokesperson for the New York Department of Sanitation, who says that they don't categorize streets as cleared.
They categorize them.
They monitor them for whether they've been plowed or salted.
So in other words, they check off the street if a plow has been down it.
Whether it's actually cleared the street or just slammed into a Ford Explorer and ripped the doors off and then maybe totaled a Honda Civic and a Toyota Corolla as it's backing out of the hole it's gotten itself into, or whether it's actually plowed the streets so they're now passable, we don't know, and neither does the New York City Department of Sanitation, because as a matter of policy, they don't categorize streets as cleared or uncleared.
So the can-do technocrat genius, no labels Mayor Michael Bloomberg, when he says that 96% of New York City streets are now cleared, is in fact inventing a measurement that his city does not use.
So we'll take a few more of your calls on that as the show progresses.
By the way, I'll be here tomorrow, Rush, Best of Rush show for New Year's Eve.
But we're going to go now to Congressman Louis Gomeut from the 1st District of Texas.
He was first elected in the 2004 election and I believe the first Republican since Reconstruction to be elected in Texas.
And the Congressman has some interesting views on how things are shaping up for the 112th Congress, which will be moving into town and taking over in a couple of days.
We've all had a bit of a shock at the lame duck Congress and some of the things they did.
And the consolation, I guess, for some of us is that things are going to change when the 112th Congress gets going.
Are we right to be optimistic about how things are likely to go, Congressman?
Mark, it's great to be on with you.
We're right to be optimistic, but people can't just put down their marching orders.
They have got to continue pushing because as we saw in the lame duck session, things got very lame.
And we had the agreement to the tax extension bill.
And I was really shocked to hear people saying on our side of the aisle, we have to do this now.
This is our best leverage because, you know, in January, all these other Republicans are coming.
Thad McCarter said, that's like Custer saying we've got to attack the Indians now before we've got a lot more of us.
It didn't make sense.
And so we had all the extra billions and billions of dollars in spending in the tax extender.
And if we had said we're not agreeing to another 13 months of unemployment insurance, my gosh, if you've gone two years and haven't found a job yet, it's time to retrain you for some other job, not pay you another year not to work.
And then some of the other pork that was added into that bill, we didn't have to go along with that.
We could have said we're going to demand a clean bill.
And if you don't give it to us now, we're going to do it ourselves January 5th.
And some say, well, but we won't have the leverage then with the 63 new net Republicans in the House and six in the Senate.
We didn't have more leverage then.
And I think if we'd stood strong, we would have gotten a better bill.
So it just tells people that they're going to have to be very vigilant.
And, of course, that's what Jefferson said.
That's the price of all this.
Eternal vigilance.
Price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
Now, you didn't just want a couple of years' continuation of the pre-existing tax rates, which everyone is touting as a big victory.
On things like corporate tax, you think we should be thinking way bigger.
And if I understand you correctly, you actually would like corporate, as a real stimulus to the economy, you'd like corporate tax scrapped.
You bet.
And what really made me focus on that, of course, Art Laffer has talked about that.
And I was able to sit down with Art a couple of months ago, and I said, shouldn't we drop that to 15 or 12 percent?
And he said, gosh, no, we ought to do away with it completely.
And when I heard Donald Trump on Fox News saying, if we slap a 25% tariff on everything we buy from China, it'll create jobs.
Well, that's nuts.
That'll create a trade war we can't win.
But then that's when I realized, you know, we've got a 35% tariff on every single item produced by American corporations.
You eliminate that 35% tariff on everything American corporations sell here and abroad, you will have a job stimulus like nothing we've ever seen.
Manufacturers will come flooding in.
And so one of the things I'm going to be pushing this year is to whatever we've called, maybe your listeners have some suggestions, but whether it's a contract for jobs, where we go to international manufacturing firms and say, okay, if we eliminate our 35% corporate tax, how many jobs will you create in America?
And when we get to our goal, whether it's half a million or a million, then we pass that through and dare the president and the senate not to allow these million new jobs.
Now, just to clarify, because you were comparing that 35% with China, but you don't even have to outsource things to China because when you compare it with European countries, supposedly Barack Obama and the Democrats want to take us to a Scandinavian-style social democracy, these countries all have lower corporate tax rates than the United States does.
Ireland has, whatever it is, 12.5% corporate tax rates.
That's right.
And the problem here, Congressman, isn't it that people somehow think that when you're taxing a corporation, you're not taxing a human being.
A corporation can't pay tax.
A corporation is a building.
A corporation is articles of incorporation at the bottom of the desk drawer.
But physically, every dollar of tax that a corporation pays is fished out of the pocket of a real-life flesh and blood human being, whether it's one of the owners or the employees or one of the customers of that corporation.
You can't tax.
One of the reasons I love listening to you.
Nobody fools you.
It's one of the most insidious taxes there is because it convinces Americans, gee, you're not having to pay it.
We've got these mean, evil, greedy corporations paying this.
Well, if they don't pass it on and make the individual customers pay it, then they don't stay in business.
Of course, the individuals pay that.
And obviously, you're not fooled by it, but a lot of Americans are.
Now, one other issue you've also been strong on, and this is how crazy the spending is in Washington, because nobody even noticed this because it was stuck as one of the sort of low-budget items between all these trillion-dollar stimulus and trillion-dollar health care bills and everything, and that's basically a $400 billion federal land grab.
It's amazing as we're sliding off the fiscal cliff.
For some reason, the government of the United States is having actually destroyed the real property market in this country, is now buying massive amounts of federal land and taking it out of productive use.
Why is this?
Well, if you look at where they're buying the land, most of it's in Republican states.
I don't know if they're thinking, gee, eventually there'll be no place for Republicans to live or not, but it's grabbing more land.
And when the federal government buys land or declares it unusable by individuals, like some of the EPA laws allow and the endangered species allow.
But when we take over land, it takes it off the local tax rolls, off the school tax rolls.
It devastates the schools and local government.
And it just gives the federal government more power.
And people haven't been noticing, but those of us on natural resources that over the last four years have watched the majority have probably not a single month goes by.
We don't put more land off-limit to drilling for oil and gas, to mining.
We put the second biggest source of uranium off-limits a couple of years ago.
I mean, the things we've been doing have been devastating to energy costs, and you're going to see them go up.
So I'm hoping that we're going to be able to turn some of that around.
But I just want to remind you, you know, so many think, oh, well, like Forrest Gump said, life is like a box of chocolates.
Well, it's not, Mark.
It's more like a jar of jalapenos because what you do today can burn you in the rear tomorrow.
Yeah, and when you're taking half a trillion dollars worth of land, and as you say, essentially from a kind of deluded view that nothing unpleasant needs to be done on your land anymore.
We don't need to drill for oil.
We don't need to have a factory belching smoke.
We can just turn the whole country into a nice, pristine, beautiful natural park.
And so everyone thinks when you're just gobbling up land like this that it's somehow a good thing.
But in fact, we actually probably need a sort of 21st century equivalent of the Homestead Act where we're giving this land to people who are actually prepared to do some wealth creation with it.
Mark, I would love to work with you on putting together a new type of homestead law.
I think it would be fantastic.
And I know it drives the liberals crazy, but why not give people an option?
You don't have a job.
How about we give you acreage and something to jumpstart a job on your own land and let people get after it that way, retrain them for other jobs.
But I'd love to hear your ideas and put something together on a new homestead bill.
But a regular American, when you run out of money, what do you do?
Well, you start looking around.
What can I sell?
You know, have a garage sale.
And not the federal government, boy, we just keep buying more and more land while we're more and more in debt.
It doesn't make sense.
And if we went to what Rush talked about for the last 20 years, a zero baseline budget, no automatic increases, then that gets us so close to a balanced budget in a very short period.
Go back to a 2006 budget.
And we're going to be okay, but it's going to take Americans demanding the Republicans not go back on our promises, as has happened a number of times.
As the old saying in Washington goes, no matter how cynical you get, it's never enough to catch up.
People have got to stay cynical, and we have got to force the Republicans, and I'm one of us, but to keep our promises.
Otherwise, we've seen too many times we didn't stay true to them.
I say we collectively, I've been beating my head against the wall as a number of members of Congress have.
Now, are you confident that the new committee chairs coming in in January got the message of November 2nd?
Well, I don't know.
We look at the people that the most conservative people that the Tea Party groups were pushing, and I know they're extremely frustrated, and I'm close to an awful lot of them, and they've made clear they're not sure that that's the case because more conservative people were not made chairs.
The races they weighed in on didn't seem to make any difference.
And, you know, look at what happened on the tax extender bill.
You know, those were Republicans saying, yeah, we've got to do this now.
It wasn't online for three days like we had promised.
We didn't require any of the things that we promised we were going to start requiring.
And so I'm not sure.
We're not off to a very good start here in the lame duck session.
Democrats say it was the most productive lame duck session in history, and it probably was for them to have gotten more done then than they had the rest of the Congress.
So you're worried that the Republican victors may already be drifting back into a kind of 2004, 2005 mindset.
Yes, and the Tea Party folks are noticing.
I mean, one email I got from one of the national leaders said, you know, there's an awful lot of rumblings about starting a new political party, and this leader doesn't want to do that.
But I'm very concerned if our folks think that we can do business as usual, they're in for a rude awakening.
And I do get tickled a little bit when I hear our leaders saying, these Democrats are so stupid, they don't get it.
They lost the majority, and then they elected the same leaders that were leading when they lost the majority.
And I'm thinking, well, do you not remember 2006 and 2008 when we lost the majority and then lost, we elected the same leaders each time.
So I don't think we're one to talk in that area either.
Yeah, no, nobody wants that 2006 Republican Party back, Congressman.
You keep holding the feet to the fire there in Washington.
That's Congressman Louie Gomeut.
He's there in Tyler, Texas at the moment, but he'll be back in Washington for the dawn of the 112th Congress.
Thanks very much for speaking to us, Congressman.
Oh, and by the way, here's a statistic to bear in mind.
The 111th Congress ran up more debt than the first 100 U.S. Congresses combined.
That's the spectacular rate at which the 111th Congress dug us into an ever deeper hole.
In other words, to solve America's crisis, we needed to make the hole twice as big and dig it twice as fast.
Mark Stein, Infra Rush, we've got lots more to come.
1-800-282-2882.
All right.
Yeah, we are live.
The Rush Limbaugh Show, live from northern New Hampshire for the first ever time in the history of radio.
No one has ever attempted to do a live national radio show from this far north in the state of New Hampshire before.
We need an extra piece, extra long piece of wet string that it's holding up so far.
So everything's working.
On the front page of my local paper, The Caledonian Record, this morning, is a beautiful picture of Mount Washington, Mount Washington's Alpen Glow, as they call it.
The shadow of dusk creeps up the slopes of Mount Washington, showing the summit all covered in snow.
It's amazing.
It looks just like 7th Avenue in New York City, but with fewer upturned abandoned hot dog carts and ambulances stuck in it.
But otherwise, you couldn't tell the difference.
Mount Washington, 7th Avenue in New York.
We were talking about Mayor Bloomberg and his assertion that 96% of streets have been cleared.
And then pointed out, of course, that the Sanitation Agency actually doesn't have a category for cleared streets.
So he may just be winging it there.
But it's important to understand here that this is what happens when government gets so big.
40 years ago, 41, 42 years ago, 1969, February the 9th, 1969, Mayor John Lindsay got clobbered by a snowstorm.
And it damaged his mayoralty and his office and his term in office and all the rest of it.
But what's interesting about this snowstorm is exactly the same days.
The snow fell on Sunday, February 9th, 1969, by Wednesday, same day the snow started falling this time around.
By Wednesday, that's to say, now, today, the schools, streets, subways, airports, other infrastructure were back on the way to normal.
For three days, the city was in a state of near paralysis, and it totaled his reputation as a mayor.
And it was criticism of the neglect of snow removal and all the rest of it.
40 years on, 40 years on, things are even worse.
And I think there is a lesson here.
The big lesson here is that the more government tries to do, the less it actually can do.
You know, this is where I don't agree with Michael Moore, but this is where he got something, he understood something very basic in his ludicrous film about 9-11 when he showed that part of that clip of George W. Bush reading out My Pet Goat to those school kids in Florida.
And he liked it when Osama saw the video, the bootleg video of Michael Moore's film in the back of the cave in Waziristan.
He liked it so much that Osama put it in some little message of his.
He mocked the president for reading out my pet goat.
Now, what's at issue there is not what Michael Moore thinks it is.
It's that the defense of the borders and the security of the borders and the immigration visas on which those guys were admitted to kill thousands of Americans is the responsibility of the president.
But the president is not the national school superintendent in chief.
What's wrong with my pet goat is not how well Bush read it, but the fact that the president of the United States should not be the school superintendent in chief of the United States of America.
Yes, you're undocumented anchor man sitting in Farush.
At the top of the show, I made a musical allusion to New York, New York.
What was it I said?
I want to wake up in a city that never plows.
And I've been getting bombarded with zillions of New York, New York parodies since then.
Greg Sanderson, Greg Sanderson, emailed me.
I think he's got this up on his website or his Facebook page or whatever.
Here's one begins.
Start spreading the salt.
I'm stranded today.
Basically, when you've got Mayor Bloomberg running your town, these things write themselves.
Let's go to Ken in Lavonia, Michigan.
Ken, you are live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Great to have you with us.
Yeah, Merry Christmas to everybody out there.
Yeah, Merry Kwanzaa to you too, Ken.
Great to have you with us.
Yeah, a news story that I keep hearing today.
They keep talking about that there's a good chance that by summertime we might be seeing the price of gas shoot up to possibly five dollars a gallon.
Right.
Now, if this happens, this will be an end-of-the-year Christmas present for Barack Obama, the Democrats, because in interviews given by President Obama, as well as other Democrats, such as Nancy Pelosi, I've heard Debbie Stabenow and John Conyers, they've made comments that they thought that the price of gas that we had up to this point was actually low.
Yes.
And that it would be a positive thing if we could get the price of gas to be in line with Europe or even as high as $8 a gallon.
Yeah, it's got a waste to help them sell the electric car.
Right, right.
So this is the thinking.
What's the problem with $5 a gas when President Obama has said that you guys just can't go on heating your homes at 72 degrees and driving your SUVs and devastating the planet with it?
And now we're heading towards European-sized government.
It's appropriate that we have European-sized gasoline prices.
So it all comes in.
It all fits in.
It's all of a piece.
This also gets, by the way, to Ben Bernanke and his whatever it's called, the quantitative easing, where he pumps in a trillion dollars of cash into the economy because he says we've got no need to worry about inflation.
What about if you drive to work?
What about if you buy food?
The transportation of food has gone up because the transportation costs of food have gone up.
People who are not Ben Bernanke or who are not Timothy Geidner spend a big chunk of their weekly paycheck on gas and food.
And gas and food are both going up, have both gone up fairly dramatically.
Five bucks a gallon is not so unusual.
Not when you look at the world that is being built for us, where, as we were talking about with the congressman earlier, the United States takes land out of productive use and says you can't drill for oil.
You can't use it for your energy needs.
So instead, we have to import more and more oil.
We're now competing for that oil with the Chinese.
The Chinese are basically every African country that's got oil in.
The Chinese are gobbling up.
The Chinese, by the way, are the biggest investors in the biggest new oil field post-invasion in Iraq.
What was all that stuff that the smelly old hippies demonstrating on the mall said, oh, no blood for oil, no blood for oil?
It's our blood, but the Chinese are getting the oil.
What kind of deal is that?
So you're absolutely right that I think what's going to happen with the $5 gas, $5 a gallon gas is not so out of it as you might think.
Let's go to Art in Donners Grove, Illinois, the next domino to fall after California and New York.
Art, is Donners Grove one of those spenderholic parts of Illinois, or do you have reasonably responsible government there still?
Well, no, we absolutely are spending our way right into grandchildren's purses.
I just was going to topic, but you mentioned Mayor Jan Lindsay.
We had a more interesting thing unfold here in Chicago in 1979 when old man Daly died.
They elected Delandik, and we had a hell of a snowstorm in 79, which precipitated Jane Byrne to run, who defeated DeLandic, which later on Byrne lost to Washington, which led to Council of Wars, Harold Washington, who once told a reporter, you're going to get a mouthful of something you don't really want.
You had Seth Eddie Verdoliak, who was a lifelong Democrat, run as a Republican.
So interesting happened.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, the 79 blizzard basically destroyed the reputation of the Richard Daly machine's efficiency, basically ruined the reputation.
Because if you're going to have machine politics, the machine has got to be efficient.
And the snowstorm exposed, what was the guy's name?
Bilandich.
Bilandich.
He was the go-to choice, I guess, that all the competing groups decided that they would endorse.
And so Jane Byrne, running on a kind of post-daily machine ticket, managed to swipe the city of Chicago away from machine politics.
Yeah, because of the huge snowstorms because nothing was done.
I was driving around in the city on snow tires with chains and was looking at city workers sitting in parking lots for eight, nine, ten hours at a time, sleeping and not doing any plowing.
So, you know, they had a lot to do with Byrne getting into office.
People were really ticked off.
It took my dad probably the better part of a month to dig out of the alley so he could use his car.
Yeah, but you say this is the problem with municipal government.
You say that people are ticked off, but they get ticked off, and sometimes they'll tarff out the incumbent.
But just as often, just as often, you know, a day or two will go by, a month or two will go by, they'll start to forget about it, things get back to normal, and they don't understand the lesson that this is teaching us.
That government is there to do a very small number of things.
And if it concentrates on those small core activities, there's a sporting chance it will just about be able to do them.
If it tries to do everything, it won't be able to do any of them.
As I mentioned before the break, that's the lesson of 9-11.
The State Department is supposed to issue visas to foreigners who want to visit this country.
It has an incompetent system, so it had a fast-track visa express system for young Saudi males who were admitted to this country on joke application forms that nobody else would try filling in on.
Address holiday in America.
You go and look under the Freedom of Information Act.
Now, that's one of the duties.
That's one of the specific duties that you need a federal government for.
You don't need a federal government to monitor the bake sales in grade schools, which the new Food Safety Act does, a Bloomberg-style food safety act that monitors the fat content of the muffins and cookies that are sold in grade schools from Maine to Hawaii.
And if you have a government that tries to do some stuff like that, then all you do is make it a lot easier for a guy like Ahmadinejad to nuke the place when his nukes are finally ready to fly.
Because you're doing all kinds of stuff that you shouldn't be doing, and you're not doing the stuff you should be doing.
Thanks very much for your call out.
But he's right to remind us that in extreme circumstances, you know, I'll bet one guy is cheering today, Obama.
Because this no labels mumbo jumbo that Bloomberg, you know, when he was the big, he was the star turn at the launch of the no-labels movement.
You know, he was there swaying with the theme song and the guys looking like the Kim Jong ill youth chorus behind him in the T-shirts going, imagine there's no labels.
He was the no-labels guy.
There was talked that the whole no-labels movement was to enable Bloomberg to run as a can-do technocrat.
And he can't.
He's a can't-do technocrat.
If he was a can-do technocrat, by the way, there would already be a big bunch of replacement towers at ground zero.
But instead, we've had a hole in the ground for 10 years because he presides over a can't-do city, can't do anything.
In 18 months in a depression, you could put up Rockefeller Center and the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building and every other iconic landmark on the New York skyline, but you can't put up anything in a decade on Mayor Bloomberg's watch because he's useless because he's a can't-do, he's the can't-do technocrat.
But the guy who's cheering all this is Obama.
Because if there had been a no-labels candidacy in 2012 by some guy like Bloomberg, it would have taken all those mushy centrists.
The mushy centrist votes would have all come from the Democrat side of the ledger.
All the people who voted for Mr. Transformative, Hopey Changey, post-partisan healer stuff and then realized they were going to get clobbered with an economy that was never going to recover, they would have been the ones attracted to Bloomberg as no labels.
So the guy who's cheering this snowfall like nobody else is Barack Obama.
Mark Stein, in for Rush on the EIB network, 1-800-282-2882.
Mark Stein for Rush live from northern New Hampshire for the first time in human history.
Let's go to Natalie in Phoenix, Arizona, where they're, I take it they're not clobbered by snow.
Natalie, oh, Mr. Snerdley, Mr. Snerdley, where does Natalie come on Russia's top 10 list of favorite women?
Oh, number three.
Wow, I don't think I've ever had a top three call, one of Russia's top three favorite ladies' names.
I think I'd go a long way.
Certainly top five.
Natalie, you're live on the Rush Limbaugh Show.
Great to have you here.
Hi, Mark.
How are you?
I'm doing great.
How are you?
I'm good.
Mark, I wanted to tell you that I just bought a house last year, a brand new home.
Right.
And I got the $8,000 tax credit.
Now, when you say the $8,000 tax credit, that was given to you by King Barak the Munificent.
Right.
Right.
And this is his thing, by the way.
We used to have tax cuts, but now we have tax credits, which are little rewards by the government for living your life according to how the government wants you to live it.
So they wanted you, the government wanted you to buy a house.
So they gave you an $8,000 tax credit, right?
Correct.
And you bought a house with it.
I did.
And yes, well, I just received a letter from the Internal Revenue Service telling me if I lose my house within the next three years, I have to pay back the $8,000.
Really?
And this, so in other words, the $8,000 tax credit, and then say you lose your job, so you can't keep up with the home payment, so they foreclose, they take the house away from you, and you still have to repay the so-called $8,000 tax credit.
It turns out to be, in effect, the equivalent of borrowing money from a loan shark in a dark alley in one of the scuzzier parts of Phoenix.
Correct, Mark.
And the thing is, Mark, is that in order for me to buy this house, I had to come out of my pocket with $28,000, $28,650 prior to buying the house.
So that came out of my friend's 401k because I didn't have that kind of money.
Right, right.
So in effect, and did you know from the IRS beforehand, by the way, that under the terms of this so-called tax credit, which doesn't actually seem to operate like a tax credit, but under the terms of this $8,000 payment, you would be liable for that even if you lost your home.
And Mark.
And did you say that?
And this is within a three-year period, in other words, is it?
Exactly, Mark.
I've only been in the house a year.
I just got the letter this week from the Internal Revenue Service telling me within the next three years, if I lose the house, I have to pay back the $8,000.
And I'm like, hell, I was like devastated, Mark.
I'm like, this is unbelievable.
Well, you know what it is.
That's because it's the same as the Nanny Bloomberg thing.
When you accept the whole principle about these tax credits, which as I said, are not on I believe in tax cuts.
I believe the government should take less of your income because it spends too much.
But instead, nobody talks about tax cuts anymore.
And wily politicians like Barack Obama talk about tax credits.
These are little rewards given to you for living your life the way Barack Obama wants you to.
And then when you agree to bring your life into alignment with Barack Obama's wishes, there are always strings attached because you're not a citizen any longer.
You're a subject.
You're a subject of King Barak the Munificent.
And when he writes his check to you for $8,000, you should always flip it over and read this.
You know all the small print they want put John Edwards, bless his little heart, when he wanted his credit card reform, said it was unfair that there was all the small print on the Visa and MasterCard statement.
You know, you go out and you run up a big bunch of money on your MasterCard, and then they send you this bill at the end of the month.
I mean, where does it say anything about that?
It's like you're expected to repay it.
Where was that?
And so he was going to require that the credit card companies had to put it on the back of the card in large print.
And you would have your credit card would be basically four foot by four foot, and you'd be walking with a limp, but it would have all the information on the back of it telling you about all these various strings.
Now, you're saying you got $8,000 from the government of the United States of America, and you had no clue about any of these strings until you get some threatening letter from the IRS.
Yes.
And as it goes, Mark, when you buy the house, you have to put it, you have to fill out all these different tax forms.
You have to send them in.
That's in order for you to get the rebate, whatever you want to call it.
And then I get this letter from them saying if I lose the house, I got to pay it back.
And I'm like, they're so full of crap, it's not even funny.
Oh, well, no, they're not.
That's the thing.
That's the thing, Natalie.
They can't plow Broadway.
They can't plow Fifth Avenue.
But you can bet your bottom dollar that you're in the system now.
And if they want to, they'll be coming for their $8,000 anytime they want to.

Hey, thanks for your call, Natalie.
I got to run and take an EIB profit center break because we do not want to depend on federal government tax credits here at the Rush Limbusho.
But this gets to the heart of this whole tax credit nonsense, that the idea that these are just simple ways of accessing credit as they would be if you went to the first national bank at Dead Skunk Junction.
No, it's far worse.
It's more complicated when you go to borrow money from the government.
It is about bringing your life into ideological alignment.
And the terms for that will always be more onerous than if you just go and get a loan from the First National Bank of Dead Skunk Junction.

Mayor Bloomberg isn't taking this, what's happening to his city lying down.
Well, he may be lying down, but he's determined now that he wants to hold an investigation to see why the cleanup effort is not proceeding as expeditiously as it should have.
So you may look out of the window, you may look out of the window, and you won't see a plow truck, you won't see a snowplow coming down the street, but you may see the New York Metropolitan Agency of Bureaucratic Investigation coming down the street to determine why the cleanup hasn't proceeded as efficiently as it might be.
They may not know how to plow the street, but they certainly know how to conduct an investigation into why they haven't been able to plow the street.
They say, by the way, that it's because some of these drivers only went to school for two weeks instead of going for a month to snowplow school.
