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

RUSH: John Boehner just was reelected the Speaker of the House, and this is among the things that he said…<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: Put simply: We\u2019re sent here not to be something, but to do something.<\/p>\n

HOUSE: (modicum of applause)<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: Or, as I like to call it: Doing the right thing.<\/p>\n

HOUSE: (one or two people clapping)<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: It\u2019s a big job, and it comes with big challenges.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Whoa, whoa, whoa.<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: Our government has —<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hold it! Hold it! Did you hear that? One person, maybe two people, applauded when he said, “Doing the right thing.” Go back to the top. There\u2019s a modicum of applause when he says, “We\u2019re sent here … to do something.” When he says, “Or as I like to call it: Doing the right thing,” there\u2019s (clap…clap…clap). Here, listen for it…<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: Put simply: We\u2019re sent here not to be something, but to do something.<\/p>\n

HOUSE: (modicum of applause)<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: Or, as I like to call it: Doing the right thing.<\/p>\n

HOUSE: (one or two people clapping)<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: It\u2019s a big job, and it comes with big challenges.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah?<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: Our government has built up too much debt.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Really?<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: Our economy is not producing enough jobs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hmm!<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: And these are not separate problems.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hmm.<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: At $16 trillion and rising, our national debt is draining free enterprise and weakening the ship of state. The American dream is in peril so long as its namesake is weighed down by this anchor of debt.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Sounds good. I would say that the Republicans have been sent there to undo something. Now, I may be splitting hairs semantically, but it has been years and years and decades of Washington “doing something” that has us in this mess. It\u2019s time now to undo a bunch of stuff and to get started with undoing a bunch of stuff in the last four years. That would seem to me to be the primary objective.<\/p>\n

But, of course, I\u2019m in a very small minority of people that don\u2019t see it that way at all. “We\u2019re not there to undo things! That\u2019s a cockeyed view.”<\/p>\n

Ken in Raleigh, North Carolina. Hello, Ken, welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks for having me on, Rush. It\u2019s a real pleasure.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We\u2019ve got a debt ceiling coming up and they\u2019re gonna shut down nonessential parts of government if we don\u2019t have an agreement, and I think that\u2019s definitely something we should do. Also if you look at the academic research —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait, wait! Hold it. “We\u2019ve got a debt ceiling coming up and they\u2019re gonna shut down nonessential parts of if we…” You think we should have a shutdown?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CALLER: If it\u2019s not essential, why is the government doing it? You know, we\u2019ve got 200 years of the nation\u2019s history on what works and what doesn\u2019t work. If you are look at economic data, if you look at the 18 —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait. That\u2019s interesting. Hold it just a second. You say, “We\u2019ve got 200 years of the nation\u2019s history on what works and what doesn\u2019t work,” and we do.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But the interpretation of what “works” and what “doesn\u2019t work” is really the battleground. The Obama view is that those first 200 years have been unjust, immoral, and ill-gotten; that this country has been founded and was founded on flawed premises by flawed people. He doesn\u2019t think that the lessons of the past 200 years are what need to be built on. They need to be corrected.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we\u2019ve got data that shows us when we have economic growth and when we don\u2019t. He can even go back and just look at the Clinton administration. Now, I won\u2019t give Clinton credit for this, but the size of the federal government shrank from 22% to 18%. And if you only look at Democrats, the Democrats that shrank the federal government as a percentage of GDP and had more rapid economic growth — 3.6% versus 2.2% — for those that grew. The same is true of the Whigs; the same is true of the Democrat-Republicans; the same is true of the Republicans.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The same thing happened with John Adams, the Federalist. George Washington cut federal spending by 46% from his first year to his last.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute! None of this matters. You\u2019re looking at growth rates of the economy.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Four years ago and prior, that mattered. It doesn\u2019t now. We\u2019re not interested in private sector economic growth right now. That\u2019s not what Obama\u2019s about. What Obama is about is steering people away from that. Obama\u2019s theory is that that private sector economic growth was immoral. It happened on the backs of slaves. It happened on the backs of women and gays and discrimination and all sorts of horrible social ills. So that economic growth was illegitimate!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we could go to recent history and compare JFK and Bill Clinton, who cut the size of government as a percentage of GDP, against Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter, who increased the size of government as a percentage of GDP. Whether you go back 200 years ago to… You know, four of the five smallest government people were Democrats. They spent less than 2% of GDP. Eighteen of the 20 presidents with rapid economic growth rates spent less than 4% of GDP. We\u2019ve got 200 years of data. Even recent history tells us that shrinking government works.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, what is your point?<\/p>\n

CALLER: My point is that we have all the data; it\u2019s not out there. People aren\u2019t educated and don\u2019t realize that this issue is settled. The academic research shows us that smaller government produces more rapid economic growth. And we need to educate people and get the word out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re a dinosaur. Do you think TMZ and E! Online care about any of this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s a good point, although I do think we have some cards here with the debt ceiling issue where we don\u2019t raise the debt ceiling and we spend what we bring in.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We don\u2019t have any cards.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we\u2019ve got the House.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Uh, we don\u2019t have any cards.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, as long as we still have the House, we can refuse to raise the debt ceiling and spend what we bring in in revenue. Revenue\u2019s up $108 billion over the last four years. So it\u2019s not a revenue problem. It\u2019s the spending that\u2019s up $800 billion over the last four years. It\u2019s a spending problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: To who?<\/p>\n

CALLER: If we don\u2019t raise the debt ceiling and spend as we go, nonessential services of the government shut down, and why should the government be providing “nonessential” services in the first place?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I agree, but that\u2019s not even relevant. They\u2019re not gonna refuse to raise the debt ceiling!<\/p>\n

CALLER: (sigh)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: The Republicans in the House are not gonna refuse to raise the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling\u2019s going up. Our indebtedness is going up. Everything you said about economic growth, be it Democrats or Republicans, and how we got data? You\u2019re right. That doesn\u2019t matter anymore, is the point! This is not about economic growth. This is about shrinking the economy. That\u2019s the objective here. This is about growing government. This is about changing people\u2019s minds about the fact that it\u2019s a big government we want, not a growing economy. A big government\u2019s what takes care of people fairly and equitably. A growing economy is where all the unfairness and all the illegitimacy is!<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, then we\u2019re gonna end up with Europe.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly!<\/p>\n

CALLER: If you look at economic growth… You know, Europe\u2019s size of government went from 10% of GDP to 50% of GDP from 1870 to now. And Europe is in economic stagnation. While the rest of the world has grown 31% over the last five years in economic growth, Europe is stagnating.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, the last time —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Europe\u2019s a warning to the rest of the world what not to do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second. The last time people saw Europe on TV, the Olympics were taking place and everything was fine. Nobody is starving in Europe. Nobody is being thrown out of work. Nobody\u2019s being thrown out of their houses. Nobody\u2019s living on the streets. All of this talk about Greece? There\u2019s no evidence that any of this stuff is true. You can talk about GDP.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They have 25% unemployment in Spain and Greece! They were rioting in Greece.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nobody saw it, so didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

CALLER: People are leaving, and the population of Greece has declined over the last ten years.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nobody saw it. It didn\u2019t happen. Nobody saw it. It wasn\u2019t on TV. It didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think it\u2019s all about education, getting the word out, and the Republicans still have the House. We can do the good fight in the House and not cave. We\u2019ve got a lot of cards in our hands. The president says we need to pay our bills? Well, let\u2019s just pass a budget in the House that only spends what we bring in in revenue. We\u2019ve got plenty of revenue. We\u2019ve got more than enough revenue.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Uh, no, we don\u2019t. We\u2019re $16 trillion in debt.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But we\u2019re spending… The $2.5 trillion a year we\u2019re getting in revenue is more than twice the optimal size of government. It\u2019s more than twice what we should be spending to maximize economic growth. And if you look at our nation\u2019s history, it\u2019s six times what we traditionally have spent.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s nobody interested in what “should be.”<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, that\u2019s our role: To educate them.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You are a dinosaur. You\u2019re old-fashioned and you\u2019re out of touch if you\u2019re talking about what should be.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But we\u2019ve got data!<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re talking about transforming America.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We\u2019ve got 200 years of data! We know what works, and we know what doesn\u2019t. The thing is, I don\u2019t hear the data being discussed too often, because the data is on our side. The academic research is on our side. These are facts.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What is being taught in this country is that 200 years of this country have been flawed; 200 years of this country have been the result of unfairness, unequality, exploitation.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Let me get to that one. The Gini coefficients. If you look at disparity between wealth, countries with the highest Gini coefficients — the ten highest disparities in income — have grown 8.5% over the last ten years. The ten countries with the lowest disparity in income have grown 1.6% over the last ten years. So Gini coefficient disparities in income are correlated with high rates of economic growth. When you have flat rates of income inequality — like Japan, which has the slowest growth rate of any developed nation, or Ethiopia — you have low rates of economic growth. So we don\u2019t want to have a fair society, a communist society, a socialist society, with flat levels of income.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Those societies have low rates of economic growth.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right, and you better get used to it. That\u2019s where we\u2019re headed.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know that\u2019s where we\u2019re headed; we gotta change it. We still have the House. And we can still educate people on your program, which is getting to millions of people right now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, all I know is that TMZ doesn\u2019t care about any of this. You\u2019re from another time and place. You\u2019re talking about things and an economics that used to be in this country, but that\u2019s been shown to be illegitimate. It was flawed from the get-go. Your data is worthless.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Even the Democrats want to return to the Clinton administration. So let\u2019s go back to Clinton administration spending. We cut spending to 4% of GDP.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, they want to return to the Clinton administration tax rates. That\u2019s all they want to return to. They don\u2019t want to go to Clinton era spending levels.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know they don\u2019t, but we should insist on that in the House. Don\u2019t raise the debt ceiling unless we incorporate the part that works in the Clinton administration, which is cutting spending to 4% of GDP.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Where have you been? We\u2019ve been insisting on manhood and manliness in the House for I don\u2019t know how many years, and we\u2019re not getting it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, shut the government down like we did under Gingrich! Shut it down. Get rid of these nonessential services. If they\u2019re not essential, why is government providing them? We can\u2019t afford it. It\u2019s a luxury.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What year do you think this is?<\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing) I understand the general population doesn\u2019t know these facts, but we need to get them out there.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I tell you, you better be careful, or under cover of darkness the authorities are gonna come with a straitjacket for you —<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — if you don\u2019t get your mind right very fast.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, folks, don\u2019t misunderstand. I understand about economic growth. There\u2019s nobody talking about that. There\u2019s nobody talking about economic growth, GDP. Nobody talking about that. There\u2019s not one policy in place currently in our country that is oriented, not federal policy, oriented toward economic growth. Just the opposite. Every policy in place is designed to take money out of the economy. Even private sector people don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. But there isn\u2019t any growth in the economy. That\u2019s not the objective. There are no growth policies. <\/p>\n

We may have a 200-year-old track record of how to get economic growth, but that\u2019s not what we\u2019re about. That\u2019s not what the people of this country voted for. And that\u2019s not what this government is focused on. There is no economic growth. The history of economic growth is irrelevant. What is growing is government. And what also is growing is the power of people in it. And that\u2019s the agenda. The objective is for this economy to get smaller. The objective is taking money away from people who\u2019ve earned it and giving it away to others and growing government at the same time. There isn\u2019t any economic growth. The government is oriented in exactly the opposite direction. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t see anybody interested in economic growth, other than perfunctorily, other than just saying so, talking about it. Obama talks about it, but there isn\u2019t one policy oriented toward economic growth. I mean, the unemployment claims are up 10,000 last week. It didn\u2019t get reported on \u2019cause it doesn\u2019t matter anymore. The election\u2019s over. And the previous week\u2019s unemployment numbers were revised up, as always. So the previous week\u2019s number was really up, it wasn\u2019t down. The number of new claims was 495,000, almost 500,000 unemployment claims before the seasonal adjustment kicked in. And, of course, that\u2019s the real number before the adjustment\u2019s made. <\/p>\n

You might also note that an extension of unemployment benefits was part of the fiscal cliff<\/a> deal. So, in addition to money being taken away from people who earn it, more money was allocated to give to people who aren\u2019t. Would somebody explain to me where the economic growth is in that kind of thinking? There isn\u2019t any. It\u2019s not the objective. It\u2019s not what people voted for. That\u2019s why I say the Republicans better realize they have been sent there to undo something. ‘Cause just going along with this ain\u2019t going to cut it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
