\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This is really getting funny now. We got audio sound bite support coming up here. It\u2019s getting very soap opera-like, which is what it is anyway. I mean, the reason that I have delayed this minimum wage garbage to the third hour is so that I don\u2019t fall prey to the DC media-inspired soap opera every day. The media isn\u2019t news anymore. Why is the minimum news? There\u2019s no big story about the minimum wage<\/a> today. <\/p>\n

I mean, they\u2019re making one — it\u2019s part of the agenda — and there were other things that I thought more important that I wanted to talk about. So we\u2019ll get to it but I\u2019m not gonna be dominated or driven by the DC-New York Corridor\/Axis media soap opera. But nevertheless it is getting funny. The CBO has come out and said, essentially — Doug Elmendorf — that if you guys in the Regime start raising the minimum wage, you\u2019re gonna cause people to lose their jobs, and the Regime got mad. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Obama and his Regime members are now mad at Elmendorf, and they\u2019re out there saying the CBO doesn\u2019t know what it\u2019s talking about. The CBO\u2019s nonpartisan. See, the Democrats and the Regime are used to the CBO being an echo, and they know how to manipulate the CBO. The CBO can only analyze data that it\u2019s given. So if the Regime wants you to think that health care\u2019s gonna cost less than $1 trillion, the Regime will give them planned legislation with the numbers they want. <\/p>\n

The only analysis possible is it\u2019s gonna cost less than a \u2019til trillion. Now, Elmendorf and the gang at the CBO know this, but there\u2019s nothing they can do. It\u2019s not part of their job to come out and say, “We think the data we\u2019ve been given are incomplete or incorrect.” They just have to deal with it. That\u2019s why, in this case, the Regime\u2019s ticked because the Regime is demanding this minimum wage increase. <\/p>\n

Elmendorf said, “Go right ahead, but you\u2019re gonna cause a lot of people lose their jobs,” and the Regime said, “What are you talking about? You don\u2019t say that,” and Elmendorf is now saying, “You do not get to challenge my professionalism.” Elmendorf told reporters today, “I want to make clear that our analysis is completely consistent with the latest thinking in the economic profession.” <\/p>\n

Now you may not realize this, but that\u2019s a huge swipe at Obama, because that is Obama\u2019s line. Obama is the guy that goes out and justifies everything by saying (impression), “Economists from both sides of the aisle agree… Respected economists from all points of view all agree.” So Elmendorf, Doug Elmendorf of CBO, is stealing Obama\u2019s line when he says, “I want to make clear, our analysis,” that what they\u2019re doing is gonna cost jobs, “is completely consistent with the latest thinking in the economic profession.” <\/p>\n

They cut him off at the pass. Meanwhile, for what it\u2019s worth, Obama has just arrived in Mexico for a summit with Mexican and Canadian leaders on trade and energy. Obama\u2019s gonna explain to \u2019em how the US needs more illegal immigration to boost our economy. (interruption) What, you don\u2019t think that\u2019s what he\u2019s gonna do? Well, what else is he gonna do? (interruption) The Mexican president says we need to open our borders. That\u2019s not news, is it?<\/p>\n

Every Mexican president, be it Felipe Calderon or whoever runs the cartels, all say the same thing: “The US must open its borders.” I\u2019m sure Obama\u2019s going to say it, too. Democrats need their continuing permanent underclass. Where are they gonna get it? But Elmendorf… This is US News & World Report. “CBO Chief Says Some People Just Don\u2019t Get It,” and here from the article: “Congressional Budget Office Director Doug Elmendorf has heard the Democratic criticism of the CBO\u2019s report Tuesday on minimum wage jobs.” <\/p>\n

<\/a>That means the White House\u2019s response, by the way, the White House response to Elmendorf\u2019s report. “That criticism ‘doesn\u2019t surprise us, nor does it have any effect on what we do,\u2019 [Elmendorf] told reporters Wednesday at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.” Folks, this is an in your face back at the Regime, because Elmendorf issued his nonpartisan report and the Regime trashed him.<\/p>\n

So Elmendorf, rather than taking it and going away, is fighting back. “Elmendorf said the CBO tries to write as clearly as possible, but ‘the work that we do is technically complicated. People who read it will misunderstand it.'” So he\u2019s doubling down on the insult to the Regime Elmendorf, in effect said, “Yeah, look, what we do is very technical, it\u2019s very complicated, and it\u2019s entirely possible that people who read it will misunderstand it.” <\/p>\n

He\u2019s talking about the Regime. <\/p>\n

“House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the report\u2019s conclusions about job losses ‘contradict the consensus among hundreds of America\u2019s top economists.'” See? Elmendorf took that line away from \u2019em earlier. When Elmendorf said, “I want to make clear that our analysis completely consistent with the latest thinking in the economic profession, the Democrats own that line.” So here\u2019s Pelosi: “[T]he consensus among hundreds of America\u2019s top economists” is that there will not be any job loss because of raising the minimum wage. <\/p>\n

Well, they\u2019re full of it, then, because there always is. We always lose jobs. It\u2019s no surprise. It happens. When you raise the minimum wage, you are forcing people out of the job market, because companies are not sitting there with unused piles of money. So if you tell a company that it\u2019s minimum wage now goes from $7 to $10, they\u2019re gonna have to fire some people \u2019cause they\u2019ve gotta keep the labor costs the same, and that\u2019s what happens. The Regime is really ticked. This CBO doesn\u2019t do this. They don\u2019t fight back. <\/p>\n

So let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. This is this morning at the Christian Science Monitor breakfast. This is Doug Elmendorf.<\/p>\n

ELMENDORF: We did an exhaustive review of the literature in this area up through reports that were released last month. A balanced reading of the set of research studies in this area led us to conclude that an increase in the minimum wage would probably have a small negative effect on employment, but there was substantial uncertainty around that estimate, as we reported.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So he even tried, as you heard there, to cushion this by saying “probably have a small negative effect on employment, but there\u2019s substantial uncertainty around the estimates, as we reported.” The estimates, by the way, are what they were fed by the Regime, which is all they can deal with. So even though he tried to soften the blow, the Regime is just out trying to destroy the guy now. I mean, the last thing anybody\u2019s supposed to say is that anything Obama\u2019s doing is gonna cost jobs. <\/p>\n

Remember, now, that conventional wisdom, standard operating procedure is that Obama is creating jobs. “Why, we\u2019re creating jobs so fast, we can\u2019t keep up with them! The economy\u2019s growing and we got new job creation!” It\u2019s all this rigmarole, lying-through-their-teeth crap, and the CBO went out today and just blew a big hole in it — for the second time recently. The last time they did this, of course, was about Obamacare. <\/p>\n

So the Regime, I\u2019m telling you, they\u2019re beside themselves. This Elmendorf guy, I hope he has security. Folks, this may all be dryball inside baseball, but I\u2019m telling you: This is not done what this guy has done here. You don\u2019t go up against this Regime like this. They look at the CBO as a branch of the Regime. The Democrats do, too. The CBO is theirs, just like the IRS is theirs, and Elmendorf is not playing ball. <\/line><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Kathleen Sebelius. This was Monday in Orlando where she says that there\u2019s no evidence that Obamacare causes unemployment.<\/p>\n

SEBELIUS: There is absolutely no evidence — and every economist will tell you this — that there is any job loss related to the Affordable Care Act. Part-time positions are actually down since 2010, not up. The number of full-time workers continues to increase, so I know that that\u2019s a popular myth that continues to be repeated, but it just is not accurate.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It certainly is accurate, and you know it, folks. You\u2019re the ones losing your jobs. You\u2019re the ones being downsized to 29.5 or less. It is costing jobs. Everybody knows it\u2019s costing jobs. This is the woman that told us there\u2019d be no problem with the health care rollout, that everything was fine. She\u2019s an idiot. But did you hear this again here? She said here, “[E]very economist will tell you.” That\u2019s their line. Pelosi: “Consensus among hundreds of economists…” Obama: “Economists from both sides of the aisle all agree.” Now here comes Sebelius: “[E]very economist will tell you…” <\/p>\n

So Elmendorf is saying today, “I want to make clear that our analysis is completely consistent with the latest thinking in the economic profession.” I mean, he\u2019s throwing down. He\u2019s firing right back at \u2019em. I don\u2019t know what has prompted this. But, I mean, when he says his reports are too nuanced for some to understand, he\u2019s calling Sebelius an idiot, he\u2019s calling Obama\u2019s economic advisors idiots. He\u2019s insulting them. They don\u2019t know what they\u2019re reading. It\u2019s above their pay grade. They don\u2019t know how to analyze this. <\/p>\n

The last time the minimum wage was raised was 2009. What\u2019s happened since then? We got massive new job creation out there, folks? We raised the minimum wage four years ago. What\u2019s the unemployment? Ninety-two million Americans not working! Here\u2019s Josh Elliott. This is a news anchor. I thought he was an Obama economic advisor. He may as well be. He\u2019s Good Morning America, ABC, talking about the minimum wage hike hitting a speed bump.<\/p>\n

ELLIOTT: President Obama\u2019s drive to increase the minimum wage may have hit something of a speed bump. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says boosting the federal minimum wage to more than $10 an hour would result in the loss of some 500,000 low-wage jobs. The White House, though, fired back saying most experts disagree with that assessment.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, there you go. Most experts disagree. Elmendorf\u2019s commandeered the line and throwing it right back. He\u2019s throwing down the gauntlet on \u2019em. So the media is now circling the wagons to protect and defend the Regime. Here\u2019s Norah O\u2019Donnell on CBS This Morning. The guest is the Wall Street Journal chief economics correspondent, Jon Hilsenrath, and they\u2019re talking about the CBO report and the minimum wage.<\/p>\n

O\u2019DONNELL: There\u2019s a lot at stake politically with this report because the president and Democrats are pushing this raise in minimum wage to run against Republicans in this election year. Yesterday the White House came out and said, “Look, this does not reflect the consensus view of economists that the minimum wage has been studied for years.”<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, the minimum wage costs jobs. The only reason the Democrats are doing this is purely political. The only reason they\u2019re doing it is so they can occupy the high ground of saying, “We think people should earn more.” Who can oppose that? Who is opposed to people earning more? Nobody is. That\u2019s all they\u2019re trying to accomplish with this. That is it. They just want the low-information crowd to associate the Obama administration with high wages and the desire for them, that\u2019s all it is. And Elmendorf\u2019s saying, “Okay, well, there\u2019s a problem here with what\u2019s gonna happen \u2019cause you\u2019re actually gonna cost jobs.” And they\u2019re throwing a monkey wrench in to the political agenda that the Regime has. <\/p>\n

This really isn\u2019t about improving lifestyles or standards of living. Do you know what percentage of the people who work make the minimum wage? 1.6%. This is not about raising the American standard of living. It\u2019s not about anything other than the Regime trying to associate themselves with the idea that people should get a raise and also at the same time positioning the Republicans as opposing people getting a raise. That\u2019s all this is. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I didn\u2019t start the show with this soap opera. It\u2019s just Democrat politics-as-usual. They\u2019re in trouble. Looks like they\u2019re gonna not win the House at all, maybe lose the Senate, so it\u2019s time to go back to fundamentals, Democrat playbook 101, raise the minimum wage, make it look like we care about the little guy. That\u2019s all this is. And the CBO has come along and just burst their bubble. Here\u2019s what the Wall Street Journal guy said about what Norah O\u2019Donnell just said.<\/p>\n

HILSENRATH: I think you have to look at the back of the report. I counted up 61 references to different outside studies that were done on the minimum wage and its effects on employment and income. It looks to me like the CBO did its best job of coming up with a down-the-middle point of view. I think the White House response in part reflects the nature of debate in Washington. Republicans are only gonna emphasize the negatives. Democrats are only gonna emphasize the positives.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You see?<\/p>\n

HILSENRATH: But in truth there are tradeoffs and that\u2019s what the public has to understand.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So he says the CBO\u2019s right, but the Democrats get to sound positive, the Republicans, they get to make them look like they don\u2019t want people get a raise. That\u2019s all this is. That\u2019s all it is. Dr. Krauthammer is up next, and I think this is a brilliant way of putting it.<\/p>\n

KRAUTHAMMER: What this is, is a transfer of wealth from some low income earners to other low income earners. Some — of course, it\u2019s so obvious, not rocket science. Some will be better off, will make more, but others are gonna lose everything. They\u2019re gonna lose all of their income and they\u2019re gonna lose the first step on the ladder into employment, which is the hope for the future. So it\u2019s a high price. You can make your choice, but there isn\u2019t a free lunch. They are running ads saying “give America a raise” as if it\u2019s no cost. It is a cost, and it\u2019s other low-income people who will be the ones who pay it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right. Obama is transferring money from one low income group to another, and the people losing the money are losing the job, and they\u2019re losing everything. It\u2019s Obama\u2019s redistribution of wealth among the poor. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, what Dr. Krauthammer just said is right in the CBO report. Let me read you the CBO report. “Overall, income would be transferred from the wealthy to the poor.” Actually Dr. Krauthammer said that we transfer the poor to the poor, and that\u2019s true. Some poor are gonna lose their jobs because others are gonna get a raise. Money has to come from somewhere, and it comes from people losing their jobs. It\u2019s not rocket science. Whatever happened to being liberated from having to work? Why does the Regime want to raise the minimum wage? <\/p>\n

I thought what was cool and hip now was not working, you know, being freed up from job lock so you could be a poet or an artist and still have your freaking health care. So why all of a sudden now do they care about the minimum wage being raised? It\u2019s only because they want to be thought of as the people that think you should get a raise, and they can position the Republicans as the guys who don\u2019t want you to have one. That\u2019s all this is. By the way, here\u2019s Elmendorf, Christian Science Monitor, this is where he stole their line about all these economists agreeing with him. I love this.<\/p>\n

ELMENDORF: I want to be clear that our analysis of the effects of an increase in the minimum wage is completely consistent with the latest thinking in the economics profession.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, what is the average consumer supposed to do? ‘Cause Pelosi says there\u2019s a consensus of economists that agree with them, and the Regime is saying that there\u2019s a consensus of economists that agree with them, that raising the minimum wage isn\u2019t gonna hurt anybody. And Elmendorf says, wait a minute, our analysis that raising the minimum wage is gonna cost jobs, is completely consistent with the latest thinking in the economics profession. <\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s about time for people in the economics profession to stand up and say, “We want to be excused from all of this political claptrap.” The problem is most of them are partisan, too. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
