I know if there's a government shutdown, the media is going to be insufferable.
If there's a shutdown, I mean, we're going to be looking at graphics of Boehner with horns on his head.
I know all that.
But they keep asking us about sacrifice.
When are we going to sacrifice for the Iraq war? They said.
When are we going to sacrifice?
It's about time the government sacrificed a little.
If there's one entity that never sacrifices, if there is one entity that never suffers, that doesn't hurt along with everybody in the private sector.
And when you consider the government is responsible for that pain, maybe a little shared pain's not such a bad idea.
Live from the Southern Command in sunny South Florida, it's Open Line Friday.
Snerdley, you look like you can't believe what you're hearing today.
In 23 years and you still act like, I don't believe what I'm hearing today.
There's no question he's look at.
Snerdley cannot believe that I had the audacity to say that Obama looks much closer to Jefferson Davis than Abraham Lincoln.
Look, if you're going to have your military out there and demand that they put their lives on the line and you're not paying them, you've got slavery.
That's where I think the Reverend Jackson may want to define, redefine his thinking on this.
Hi, welcome back.
Open Line Friday, 800-282-2882.

When has the government ever had any skin in the game?
The government is always using our skin.
Always.
Eric Holder.
This is from Fox News.
In a letter to Department of Justice employees, the Attorney General Eric Holder says, uncertainty of the shutdown puts workers in a difficult position.
Never mind that the article in Fox News goes on to say that only about 20% of Justice Department employees would face furlough under this so-called shutdown, which could last as long as two weeks.
According to the department's 2011 contingency plan, which was finalized yesterday, not a single FBI official or U.S. Marshal in the field would be furloughed, so we would continue to be able to watch Justified.
Old Rayland, Harlan County, Kentucky, would still get paid, and so the show would still be on the air.
Would be any problem.
Let's go on to the audio soundbites, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll start President Obama last night just to review all this, get us up to speed.
Here is Obama demanding an answer this morning.
What I've said to the speaker and what I've said to Harry Reid is because the machinery of the shutdown is necessarily starting to move, I expect an answer in the morning.
And my hope is, is that I'll be able to announce to the American people sometime relatively early in the day that a shutdown has been averted.
I'm sure he does hope he can announce the American people's shutdown has been averted.
Yes.
I expect an answer in the morning.
Well, the morning has come and gone.
He didn't get one.
And now everybody from the left and the right, you can find in various blogs, newspapers, television networks, starting to question Obama's leadership.
In fact, you've got to hear this.
Let me find this.
It's Feynman who thinks that here's Grab Sound by 15.
Feynman thinks that Boehner is cleaning Obama's clock.
Last night on hardball, Chris Matthews, speaking of Feynman, Matthews said, you know, I feel for the guys.
A lot of people behind him that he hasn't had a deal with before.
These are not professional politicians behind him.
He's talking about the Tea Party people.
Some have come in and they want to win-win-win and not compromise.
What I find interesting about this is I think in narrow sort of poker terms, Boehner's doing very well.
I think he's cleaning the president's clock.
I mean, he's got the White House up to $35 billion or something like that.
Jeez, $35 billion.
We're talking pennies.
Here is Boehner this morning talking about the federal budget negotiations, possible government shutdown, troop payment, so forth.
We're close to a resolution on the policy issues, but I think the American people deserve to know when will the White House and when will Senate Democrats get serious about cutting spending?
A bill that fails to include real spending cuts will hurt job growth and signal that Washington's not serious about dealing with its spending addiction.
And I think the Senate should follow the House lead and pass the troop funding bill and do it today.
And I also believe the president should sign the troop funding bill into law.
This is the responsible thing to do to support our troops and to keep our federal government open.
Not going to pay the troops.
Not going to pay the troops.
The regime is adamant about this.
And they're also not going to allow the defunding of Planned Parenthood.
So abortions must go on.
Democrat Party and President Obama, abortions must go on.
But if you're a citizen at Jim Moran's town hall and you stand up and you ask him why aren't the military going to get paid, you'll be told to shut up and to sit down.
Why doesn't the media ever remember that it was Obama who promised to cut the federal deficit in half by the end of his first term?
They probably do.
They just not going to report it.
My question is, what is he waiting for?
He promised to cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term.
It's time he gets started on this.
Yeah, paying the troops is a distraction, don't you know?
This whole notion of a rider or a separate piece of legislation to pay the troops, that's a distraction.
Maybe, I get an idea.
I got an idea.
Make the troops employees of Planned Parenthood.
Here we go.
Make the troops employees of Planned Parenthood.
Let's get the legislation on that rolling.
And then let's see them defund the troops.
I check the email at the top.
This is understandable.
There are people who don't know who Jefferson Davis was.
And if, depending on your age, if you're relatively young, it might in America.
Don't you think?
Look at, you remember John Silber's survey of American textbooks and the longest paragraph, the longest reference to Abe Lincoln they found was a paragraph.
Jefferson Davis was the president of the Confederacy.
Jefferson.
Do they know what that is?
Okay, that's a good question.
For those of you in Riolinda, the Confederacy, that was the South in the war against Northern aggression.
They wore the gray uniforms in Going with the Wind.
And Jefferson Davis was their president.
These are the guys that got burned when Atlanta went up in flames.
That's the Confederacy.
So, and Jefferson Davis was the leader.
And, of course, the Confederacy were the slave owners and the military representing the slave and plantation owners back in those days.
Here's Dingy Harry this morning on the Senate floor talking about women's health and a possible government shutdown.
Anyone who says this debate is over abortion isn't being truthful.
It's about simple health services.
Yeah.
Republicans want to shut down the government because they think there's nothing more important than keeping women from getting cancer screenings.
This is indefensible, and everyone should be outraged.
The Tea Party, among others, they're the biggest push.
It's trying to move its extreme social agenda.
Issues that have nothing to do with funding the government.
They're willing, it appears, clearly, to throw women under the bus, even if it means they'll shut down the government.
These guys, the Tea Party living rent-free like I am in Harry Reid's brain.
And we had a caller, Theo, earlier.
How in the world, we're not defunding Obamacare here.
By the way, it is Obamacare that is going to reduce the payments for women's cancer screenings.
Is it not?
Is it not Obamacare that's going to reduce the number of mammograms that they'll pay for?
Isn't Obamacare going to reduce all these kinds of cancer screenings for women on the basis that they get too many of them too often?
Yeah.
If the military all became employees of Planned Parenthood, then the left really could call military baby killers and they'd be right for the first time.
And we're back, Rush Limbaugh.
Check the email during the brief timeout.
And man, there's some mad, angry people out there over my comment about the military being baby killers.
Now, back off, you people.
Let me put this in perspective.
Here's the timeline, or here's the chronology.
Military will not be paid if there's a government shutdown.
Democrats in the Iraq War, John Kerry, Jack Murtha, Harry Reid, any number of them, called our military baby killers, terrorists, any number of atrocities being committed by our troops.
Abu, grab all of that.
Come forward to today, where the regime will not sign legislation that pays the military, either separate legislation or a rider to the continuing resolution, because the Republicans are also demanding that Planned Parenthood be defunded.
What does Planned Parenthood do?
It kills babies.
Planned Parenthood performs abortions.
So all I said was, well, then let's just make the military part of Planned Parenthood.
Thereby they would get funded.
And then we could call them baby killers and it'd be true.
It's a rhetorical device to illustrate the utter hypocrisy and how wrong and foolish the left is on this.
Look, the Hyde Amendment.
Let me try it this way.
The Henry Hyde Amendment, Harry Reid supported the Hyde Amendment for most of his career.
Now, the Hyde Amendment, which prohibited federal funds for abortion, was essentially repealed by Obamacare.
Even though it prevented federal funding of abortions, it was repealed.
Obamacare repeals it.
So we're returning to what used to be before Obamacare, and now they're calling that extreme.
Supporting what Reed used to support now is too extreme.
As usual, these Democrats, the left, they're standing in quicksand as they make all of these statements.
How many of Obama's czars are going to be sent home as non-essential employees if there's a shutdown?
How many of the White House limo drivers will be considered non-essential?
How many people who clean for the Obamas, who buy their clothes, who wash their clothes, who make their sandwiches, who tend the organic garden, will be considered non-essential and sent home.
Will Obama forego his salary?
Will he stop flying around in Air Force One?
Will he stop the concerts and the golf and the basketball at the government shutdown?
Hell no.
None of this is going to impact him at all.
Let me ask this: given Obama's laxed approach to all of this, farming it all out, the negotiations, he sits there.
I expect an answer in the morning while he goes off to meet with the Reverend Sharpton chow down on soul food.
By the way, I saw a picture of that.
I saw a picture of Obama chowing down on soul food, and Sharpton is looking at him like he can't believe what he's seeing, like he's looking at somebody from Darfur eating for the first time in a year.
Another Karinine Kennedy took Caroline Kennedy up there to Sylvia's.
You know, Sharpton knows you don't eat when there's a camera around.
You just don't put anything in your mouth and chew.
You just don't do it.
But Obama was wolfing down whatever Obama, and Sharpton was looking at him with eyes wide who could not believe what he was looking at.
I saw the picture.
I saw it yesterday.
But anyway, his attitude has been very lax, very laid back, except now when he's holding a couple of meetings to seem like he is the savior in all of this.
I expect an answer in the morning.
My assertion is that Obama's not even essential to any of this.
Obama hasn't been involved in any of this.
He's been sitting up there in the ivory tower issuing commands, demanding this, expecting that.
We need to ask if he is considered an essential or non-essential employee of the federal government, just by the virtue of the way he conducts himself.
How many of the people on Muchel's staff will be sent packing?
She got a staff of 24.
Did you know that?
Much el Obama has a staff of 24.
And I know a lot of you are probably offended.
What do you mean?
You don't talk about the president that way, Rush.
You don't ask questions of President Essential or not.
Well, how essential can he be taking a vacation every two weeks?
I guarantee you this: if you work someplace and they let you take a week or two vacation every four weeks or so, I guarantee you they wouldn't look at you as essential.
All right, back to the phones because it is Open Line Friday.
Mike in Wausau, Wisconsin.
Hi, great to have you here, sir.
Yay, Rush, frontline dittos.
Thank you very much.
I'm a business owner.
My wife's a teacher.
And I listened to you for 15, 20 years, and I've listened to you talk about how the left can go over the deep end.
And now that I'm here and part of it and watching what's going on in Wisconsin, again, you are right.
Usually.
It's just amazing to me the extent they will go to everything that they pulled in this last election cycle, and yet we were still energized enough to pull out the victory.
That's right.
Now, that's really, they're really ticked off that way they found 7,000 or four.
It was about 14,000 legal votes, which resulted in a 7,500-vote lead for Judge Prosser.
You know, it's one thing.
As I said, there's a part of me, there's a part of me that would have loved for this county clerk to have purposely withheld the votes just to spring them on the Democrats this way.
I know it didn't happen, but that's what they do.
He said they do it with illegally found votes.
Ours, in this case, are legal votes.
And that ticks them off even more.
I think the Democrats have more respect for us if we found 14,000 illegal votes.
Right now, all they are is mad because our 14,000 votes are legal.
But I'll tell you what, that Prosser victory, in all candidness, should give us a lot of hope.
Admit it now, when you saw that race was so close to how can this be?
The election results in November.
The Democrat senators fleeing the state rather than do their jobs?
How can the public have changed its mind so fast?
Turns out they didn't.
Now, the left put $3.5 million.
I always look to try to find the positive in the upbeat.
The left put $3.5 million into the Supreme Court race.
Prosser versus Klappenberg.
If they can't win in Wisconsin, if they can't win in Wisconsin with all that union money and all that union power and all that propaganda and the bust-in union goons, they bust people in from across the country in ultra-liberal Wisconsin.
Then we really should have hope here, folks.
I kid you not.
Don in Central Michigan, hi.
Welcome to the EIB network and Open Line Friday.
Hi, Rosh.
Thanks for taking the call.
Yes, sir.
I want to say I told them I was a liberal and they put me second in line, so you're not afraid to talk to liberals.
I also said I was a liberal with a sense of humor who's not angry.
I've been listening to you for 20 years.
You are a constant broadcaster.
I listened to the environmentalist wacko updates and laugh, but today I'm sensing a tone in your voice.
I don't want you to blow a gasket.
Things aren't as bad as you think.
Well, you hear a tone in my voice and I'm blowing a gasket?
Well, as I talked to the screener, we've gone from Jefferson Davis, the baby killers, to a lot of different subjects here.
What I'm saying is I think you can be a force for good in America.
Bring us together.
Don't go over the top unless it's really funny.
But there's no evil on liberals.
There's no evil on the campus.
All right, so Jefferson Davis and What's a Few Dead Babies Between Friends?
That's a little over the top, and you're trying to bring me back and save me as a force for good.
I think you can vote it.
40 million viewers.
If you have didn't, I just say that the Wisconsin election should give us hope.
Last caller was a nice guy very, very nice guy, one of the nicest liberals I can ever remember having called the program.
Honestly said he was a liberal with a sense of humor who is not angry, actually trying to help me.
He thought I needed to dial it back a little bit could did.
Was this guy calling from a museum by any chance stirredly, you don't know, Tim in Minneapolis.
Welcome to the EIB network sir, great to have you with us.
Thank you so much for taking my call and the privilege to speak with you, and the honor is seconded only by being able to shake George W. Bush's hand in March of 2011.
Thank you sir very much.
I appreciate that.
2001.
I'm calling about the letter that Gaddafi wrote, and I heard it yesterday, and you mentioned it.
He wrote to his son, Abu Muamaba.
Sure, which makes me wonder, this should put to rest the question whether Obama is a Muslim or not, because what kind of Muslim would call an infidel his son?
Well, yeah, but we're also dealing with somebody whose elevator may not go to the top floor in Gaddafi.
And he did.
He referred to him as my son, Abu Baraka.
No, Baraka Abu Amuwama.
And he said he understood why his son had to bomb Libya, and he wished him well in his reelection efforts.
So Gaddafi was essentially saying, look, I know why you've got to kick the crap out of us here, and we hope it works for you.
Yeah, I just want to.
So you can't, you know, I wouldn't make the connection here that I do have a carbonite story for you.
Carbonite story.
Oh, I've been listening to you for many, many years, and I bought a desktop computer back in 2004, and I put it off and put it off and put it off.
About a year and a half ago, I decided, you know, I'm going to get Carbonite, so I got it.
And this last week, I had a fatal crash, partially because it's a PC and not a Mac.
But the other, anyway, so I'm on my way to Minneapolis to do some training for next week, so I got Carbonite restoring my files as we speak.
And I even am trying the 45-day free go to my PC.com so I can monitor the restoring progress as the classes.
Now, isn't that cool?
You have an iPad by any chance?
I do not.
Well, if you get an iPad, GoToMyPC has an iPad app now where you can actually do all that from your iPad.
And it's cool.
They demoed it for me the other day.
By the way, I've heard some rumors that Carbonite backed up files are objecting to being restored to PCs.
It's not true.
They love Macs, but there's no truth to the rumor that backed up files on Carbonite are purposely shutting down for Windows machines.
They love Windows machines just like they love Macs.
Yeah, I wish I had a Mac again, but you know how that goes.
Take care and have a good day.
Thank you.
All right.
Open Line Friday, Marlene in Bel Air, Michigan.
Hello, and welcome to the program.
Rush.
Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
What an incredible honor this is.
Thank you very much.
I've been a student there for about 18 years now.
And I have a make the host look good question.
Oh, I love these.
You know, I don't get nearly enough questions anymore.
I love getting questions, and nobody asks me questions anymore.
Well, you're the only one that can answer this one.
I'm convinced.
You and I are both convinced that Obama, most of what he does, or all of what he does, is contrived.
I mean, he's planned it out, and he does everything on purpose for some reason or other.
Right.
Now, in order to do all this, he has to have a lot of people in the know.
How does he do it?
How does he keep people in the know?
You know, that is an excellent question.
And you know where your question comes from from a belief.
Okay, we've got a president who, for whatever reason, seems intent on restructuring this country and turning it socialist.
He's got some animus against free market capitalism.
Why?
Okay, now, where does he find, how does he get people to go along with him?
Yeah, right.
They're all over the place.
He doesn't have to convince them.
The reason he's got czars is because they are exactly who he is.
This Kathleen Sebelius is Obama.
Eric Holder is Obama, and that's why he has chosen them.
I laugh when news comes up about this guy Van Jones being a communist.
How can Obama fix this?
He knew it.
The country, bottom line, has no shortage of people who don't like the country as currently structured.
And they're all over the university community.
They're all over Harvard and Yale.
And that's Obama's stomping grounds.
And he's got advisors who can point him to people who have the same sympathy.
Look, it's not a rare point of view on the American left to have an animus toward this country as founded.
It's not rare for leftist Democrats to be anti-capitalism.
It's fairly common.
That's becoming obvious.
Yeah.
It's a wake-up call for everybody.
Most Americans, and we can understand the day-to-day arguments between liberals and conservatives and Democrats and Republicans and all that, but most of us have a tough time getting our arms around the fact that there are Americans, that there are people born here who hate this country.
But there are, and there are a lot of them.
But when I say a lot, 10, 20%, which to me is a lot, yeah.
That's scary.
It is very scary.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so it's not hard for him to find them at all.
He doesn't have to convince anybody.
He doesn't have to go out and have lectures and meetings with these people to give them marching orders.
They're already on the same page.
That's the scariest of all, Rush.
Yeah.
But it's the truth, and you have to recognize it for what it is.
I think you're absolutely right.
You're the only one that could explain it.
Let me tell you something.
You've got some people in these bureaucracies who are even more radical than Obama.
Look at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
You've got judges.
Right.
You've got justices at various levels of our judicial system who are every bit as radical as Eric Holder or Obama.
Absolutely.
I mean, the short answer is...
I'm a new 24-7 member.
Oh!
I am absolutely enjoying it more than you know.
Thanks very much.
I'm flattered.
I really, you know, I don't plug it much, but I'm glad that you did because it really is encyclopedic.
It's an encyclopedic website.
Absolutely right.
Yeah.
In further answer to your question, keep in mind that it was not Obama who got to the White House and then picked everybody to go with him.
The left picked Obama.
He didn't have to go seek them out.
Absolutely right.
They picked him.
You already had people who are of the same frame of mind.
I mean, you had Sololinsky, you've had people at Cloward Priven.
You've got people at Piven who already believe in the things Obama does.
They found him.
You've got some of these people in the media.
They found him.
He didn't have to seek him out.
David Axelrod and George Soros made Obama.
Oh, boy.
I think that's absolutely right.
There's no question about it.
You're scaring me more.
Not that he's a puppet, but he's at the same time, he's not a Bond villain.
He's not Ernst Stavro Blofeld with a little cat in the lap, giving orders to agent number one to go.
He's part of a committee.
They chose him because they thought he was the one who could get elected, and they were right.
What did they do?
Go out and find, in Joe Biden's own words, go find a clean, articulate black guy.
Yeah, the Jeff Davis community.
You go out, you find a clean, articulate black guy, and you know that the Republicans are not going to dare be critical.
First black presidential candidate, they're going to shut up.
They're going to put duct tape on their mouths.
McCain saw to it.
And the rest is easy.
And then any criticism whatsoever, you simply throw the racism charge and you shut them up even further.
It was very, very predictable.
No, I don't think Obama is the cat in Ernst Stavro Blofeld's lap.
He's got a little bit more stature than that, but I understand the comparison.
Audio sound by time.
John Boehner, we're going to start here.
He just had a little presser this afternoon.
And during the Q ⁇ A, a reporter said, Mr. Speaker, the Senate Majority Leader, Dingy Harry, said today that you do have an agreement, roughly around $30 billion in cuts, and that the only thing that's holding this up is a difference over Title 10 funding.
Is he telling the truth?
Almost all of the policy issues have been dealt with, and there is no agreement on the spending level.
And we're working to try to get there.
Is Planned Parenthood and Title 10 funding the issue you have a problem with?
And what do you bring up?
Almost all of the policy writers have been done.
Well, he sounds really interested, doesn't it?
Almost all the policy writers have been done.
Well, is this Title X Planned Parenthood funding the issue you're having a problem with?
It is, folks.
It is.
Next question.
Well, what's your message to thousands of families who are planning on visiting the museums in Washington, the national parks around the country?
What's your message to them right now, Boehner?
Our goal is to keep the government open.
I've said it thousands and thousands of times, privately and publicly.
Our goal is not to shut down the government.
Our goal is to cut spending.
Also on Capitol Hill this afternoon, female Democrat senators held a press conference to talk about the spending cuts and women's rights.
And we all know what that is.
Here is Senator Amy Klobuchar, Democrat Minnesota.
A while ago, I was going through the metal detector line, which I always do, and there was a deputy sheriff standing there.
And she looked at me and she said, those guys, they're not going to mess with my birth control, are they?
And I made a commitment to her that, no, they're not going to mess with your birth control.
This is about a budget discussion, right?
This isn't about her birth control.
And that's what we're standing up here today.
And that's, yes, we're supposed to believe this.
We're supposed to sit here and have our intelligence assaulted.
That's what we're supposed to believe.
They are taking the hill.
They're trying to hold the hill for birth control.
That's right.
This way, keep us out of, keep, they want to keep, they want to keep themselves out of our bedroom.
Right.
There was a deputy sheriff standing there.
She looked at me and said, those guys, they're not going to mess with my birth control, are they?
Do we believe that?
Do we believe in Amy Klobuchar going through the metal detector and some female deputy sheriff?
They're not going to mess with my birth control, are they?
And that somehow that moved Senator Klobuchar.
That deputy sheriff reached Senator Klobuchar.
At that moment, she made a commitment.
No, they're not going to mess with your birth control.
So the women of the Senate are standing firm, standing up for your birth control, which of course means abortion.
If this actually happened, what the deputy sheriff said was, those guys are not going to mess with my abortions, are they?
And Klobuchar said, nope, we are not going to let them mess with your abortion.
But really, it's not about your abortion.
It's about a budget discussion.
We're going to there are no depths to which they will sink that they have any fear.
They'll just lie, make it up, humiliate, embarrass themselves.
What kind of, somebody explain to me, what kind of, Snerdly, I'm sure you'll know this, what kind of birth control is allowed under Sharia law?
Not even I have a headache works in Sharia law, folks.
Not even I have a headache.
Does the TSA stop people with Viagra?
Matt in Ontario, California.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Great to have.
Well, it's a birth control issue, she says.
I'm just wondering.
Matt, great to have you on the program.
Hello.
Thank you, Rush.
Happy Friday to you.
Same to you, sir.
You can't do that to me right before you come on.
I'm sorry.
Anyways, I was wondering, you know the theory you have where everybody's knowledge of history starts at their birth.
Rep. I was wondering, at what point did it become acceptable for elected U.S. representatives to insult the populace?
An example, the Tea Party insert whatever party.
Well, you know, the Tea Party precedes even the Tea Party.
Try being a conservative.
Seriously, the Tea Party is...
Try being a conservative in California.
Okay, exactly.
You understand.
I think the better question is, when did it become fashionable for members of Congress to openly disrespect their voters, like Fortney Pete Stark does, or that soundbite from Jim Moran that we have?
So, you know, a military voter stands up and says, well, why aren't the military getting paid?
Shut up and sit down.
For me personally, it just keeps pushing me further right, and I personally will never, ever consider anybody on the left ever again.
It's rather despicable.
Yeah.
Every one of you that says that, remember now there are people that vote for Jim Moran who just love him saying that to a military guy.
They just love.
Well, the Kool-Aid crowd.
Let me tell you something.
The left considers you and me a bigger enemy than militant Islam.
And so when one of their elected guys comes along and tells us to shut up and sit down, they are happy.
So you want to know when did it all start?
When did this open disrespect for voters and open insult of the American people start?
Gosh, it's hard to pinpoint it in the modern era, but it's, I think, fait accompli, it's part of the standard operating procedure of the American left and the Democrat Party.
That I would agree with.
I think politicians have always made fun of their voters.
Yeah, but not openly in public like they are.
Well, to their core constituents, they have.
Look at Obama.
He's out there in San Francisco.
And he forgets that somebody from the Huffing and Puffington post is there with a live mic.
So he starts talking about the bitter clingers.
Well, consider his intelligence.
Let me tell you something.
I don't doubt for a moment that there are elected Republicans who take my name in vain.
Probably many times today.
What I want to know is, so Amy Klobuchar is going through the metal detector at the airport.
Some deputy sheriff says, those guys, they're going to take away my birth control.
Who is actually stopping that deputy sheriff from buying birth control?
Nobody's stopping her from buying, and nobody's going to be stopping her from buying birth control after whatever is dealt with.
Now, folks, I'm going to give you a heads up here.
If Boehner agrees to a low dollar amount, if this thing compromises $30 billion or $40 billion, it's not going to be pretty in the Tea Party and throughout the country.
