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

RUSH: John Boehner. Let\u2019s listen to him. This was this morning in Washington on Capitol Hill. He held a press conference about the fiscal cliff. He used a chart to illustrate the amount of spending the government does compared with taxes.<\/p>\n

BOEHNER: Republicans want to solve this problem by getting the spending line down. The president wants to pretend the spending isn\u2019t the problem. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t have an agreement. The chart depicts what I\u2019ve been saying for a long time now. Washington has a spending problem. That can\u2019t be fixed with tax increases alone.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, let me parse that, because there are two things in that statement. You might have heard only one. You might have heard Boehner say, “We have spending problem,” and about that he\u2019s correct. But then he said, and his last words in this bite were, “Washington has a spending problem. That can\u2019t be fixed with tax increases ALONE.” Thereby accepting the premise that there will be tax increases.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s accepting the proposition — the premise, the idea, the notion, the fact. We can\u2019t fix the problem “with tax increases ALONE.” There are going to have to be spending cuts. What we need are spending cuts and tax cuts, folks. If we really want to fix this — if we really want more money to the Treasury, if we want to generate more economic growth and more jobs — you cut spending and you cut taxes.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not what Obama is about.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no desire to cut governed government. There\u2019s no desire to cut spending or entitlements. There\u2019s none of that. So there\u2019s no common ground here. So here\u2019s Boehner. Let me check something real quick. The Dow Jones Industrial average is down 71 points right now. Let me read to you from Kate Gibson at MarketWatch.com. “US stocks fell Thursday after House Speaker John Boehner declared spending to be the issue preventing a deal to avert spending cuts and tax hikes from starting in the new year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Boehner called a news conference to detail his views on what is blocking negotiations to avoid the fiscal cliff,” and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 28 points immediately after Boehner said we have a spending problem. Every gun is aimed at us. Every time somebody articulates “the fix” — in this case, spending cuts — the market goes down and the media says, “Boehner\u2019s causing this! Your stock portfolio is declining because Boehner went out there and stupidly talked about spending cuts.”<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re to believe if Boehner had gone out and agreed with tax increases and spending increases, that the market would have gone up. So you see, folks, no matter where you turn the solution to this problem is savaged. The solution to this problem is criticized, ripped, and is blamed for all the evil. That is why I say, “What\u2019s really on Obama\u2019s agenda is his desire to see to it that the Republicans and everything they stand for <\/a>is seen as the problem.”<\/p>\n

Low employment, high unemployment, no economic growth, real estate values plunging — whatever the economic problem is — it is because of Republicans and Boehner typified it. “He goes out there and starts talking about spending cuts, and what happens to the market? Everything these Republicans stand for is causing a problem.” That\u2019s the message, and the Republicans, at some point, have a duty here.<\/p>\n

That is to agree with this by virtue of letting Obama have what he wants in the fiscal cliff deal and thereby cementing the notion that it\u2019s their fault.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what Obama is aiming for.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, shazam, shazam! Lo and behold, Jay Carney, the White House spokesperson, has just admitted that I am right when I say that what the Democrats want — what Obama wants — is for Boehner and the Republicans to confess, to concede that what they believe in did cause all of our economic problems. This is the White House press briefing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A reporter said, “At the start of negotiations, the White House welcomed Republican movement towards revenue, taxes. Can you point to something the president\u2019s done that\u2019s moved in the direction of Republicans? The cuts that you\u2019ve outlined have been ones that have been in your budget. You asked for almost double what Republicans have put on the table in taxes. You have $200 billion in stimulus money. Can you point to us how that is a negotiation? Where are you compromising?”<\/p>\n

CARNEY: In 2001 he fiercely advocated for the massive tax cuts that President Bush insisted on. Again in 2003, that went disproportionately to the wealthy, promising that they would lead to economic growth and a middle class was better off. Let me just say that while I personally am very fond of John Boehner, his record of predicting what would happen if certain policies, economic policies were instituted, is abysmal, okay?<\/p>\n

RUSH: There you have it, folks. They\u2019re just now admitting it. The Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, that\u2019s why we\u2019re in this mess, and it\u2019s Boehner\u2019s fault. He\u2019s have to admit it. His record is “abysmal.” He predicted those tax cuts would lead to economic growth and high employment, and it didn\u2019t happen. But it did. It did! These guys are purposely and everybody else is purposely forgetting what they lived through.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just like everybody apparently has forgotten the absolute most robust economic recovery in the history of the world, which took place in the eighties. That economic recovery lasted 25 years, the Reagan recovery. It was an expansion of the US economy which nobody had never been seen before. The Bush tax cuts… We had 9\/11 in the mix there, and another recession.<\/p>\n

The Bush tax cuts led us to, among other things, unemployment of 4.7% for five years in a row, practically. We had a boom, folks! We were living in the middle of a boom. Unemployment was way down, jobs were plentiful, and the economy was growing. It\u2019s just that during all that time the Democrats and the media kept lying to the American people about how we were on the verge of a recession. “We\u2019re in a recession! Calamity and hell is just around the corner!”<\/p>\n

But doesn\u2019t matter. What really happened doesn\u2019t matter. What Democrats and media say happened is all that matters. I mean, I called it. Carney is now admitting it. It\u2019s the Bush tax cuts, which Boehner supported. Every prediction made about \u2019em? Nope. They caused this. That\u2019s what we have to fix now. So we have to put those tax cuts back. We have to raise those people\u2019s taxes \u2019cause look at the problems we caused! Aall the unemployment, all of this and all of that.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to get the Republicans to agree.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, the thing is they get rid of the Bush tax cuts on the rich, and that\u2019s gonna result in less revenue for Washington. It\u2019s going to result in less money to redistribute. That\u2019s the dirty little secret. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I want to go back, Mike, sound bite 27 and 28 because, folks, this is major. Well, it\u2019s not that big. I\u2019m right so often that this is just another documentation. But this is still pretty big, because — and I say this absent ego. This is not ego. But if I don\u2019t say it, nobody else will. All of this talk, all of this jabberwocky going on Inside the Beltway about the fiscal cliff and what\u2019s going on and what it\u2019s really all about, everybody has missed it, and the reason they\u2019ve missed it is because they\u2019re looking at it through the usual template. <\/p>\n

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

One of the things in the usual template is everybody in Washington, Democrat and Republican, accepts, they just believe that every president wants to reduce the debt. And that every president wants economic growth, and that every president wants to enhance his legacy with a roaring American economy. I\u2019ve been maintaining that those don\u2019t apply to Obama. He\u2019s a new president, different kind of guy. We\u2019ve not had a president like this. We\u2019ve not had a president with these kinds of designs or aspirations on the country. Dr. Krauthammer, any number of people will say, “Does Obama really want to start a second term with a recession?” He wouldn\u2019t care. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m here to tell you we\u2019re still in one, for all intents and purposes. There is no real economic recovery going on. There\u2019s not one Obama policy, to date, that is oriented towards economic growth, and there\u2019s nothing he\u2019s talking about now that is oriented toward economic growth. That\u2019s not what\u2019s going on here. Obama wants a legacy. You know what he wants his legacy to be? He\u2019s the guy that fixed the fatal flaws of the founding of this country. That\u2019s what he wants. <\/p>\n

He can\u2019t wait for the historians in Europe and the approved United Nations scholars to write that he is the one, Barack Obama, after 230 years, who finally corrected the fatal flaws of the founding of the United States of America, a racist nation, a nation which discriminated and enslaved its own citizens and enshrined that in its Constitution. That\u2019s what he believes. A nation which has plundered the world\u2019s resources for its own gain. A nation which has spread poverty around the world as a result of plundering other nations. This is what he believes. And, by the way, I\u2019m not even trying to convince anybody of it in terms of elections. The election\u2019s over. <\/p>\n

None of this that I\u2019m saying is gonna have any practical result other than the thing I\u2019m most profoundly interested in, and that\u2019s people being properly informed. It\u2019s all I\u2019ve ever cared about here. For 25 years, I\u2019ve bought into what is now the silly notion that an informed electorate makes the best decisions to preserve the country, but our electorate\u2019s not informed. I have not been able to overcome, and nor have any of my colleagues, we have not been able to overcome decades of corruption in the education system, from K all the way up through the academy, universities, just hasn\u2019t been enough to overcome that corruption. You know, 15 hours a week of truth telling and instruction, economic explanation, so forth, just can\u2019t do battle, particularly when the left has done its best for 25 years to destroy or harm my credibility with people that don\u2019t listen to the program. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And as such we now, among the people that vote, are being governed by morons, people that are low-information and what they do know is wrong. Voters. And, I\u2019m telling you, Barack Obama does not have the same presidential goals that everybody Inside the Beltway who analyzes politics assigns to him. Most normal presidents would be concerned about this debt. It would be unacceptable, untenable. Something would have to be done about it. And the fact the economy is sitting here just wallowing in the muck for four years, a normal president would have to do something about that, would want to. Your average, everyday American president would want prosperity for as many Americans as possible. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re not dealing with a president like that. We\u2019re dealing with a president who thinks that we must endure years of pain in order fix the fatal flaws of the founding. We have a president who doesn\u2019t believe in the things you and I believe in, in terms of where prosperity comes from and how it\u2019s achieved. To him prosperous people today are illegitimate. The achieved, the successful, they\u2019re the recipients, the beneficiaries of the stacked deck or rigged game, and he\u2019s out to level the playing field. He\u2019s out to fix it, spread the wealth around, redistribute the wealth from the people that unfairly and unjustly have it all. And that\u2019s what his policies are about. They\u2019re not about economic growth. <\/p>\n

In addition to that, he is a pure thoroughbred politician who wants to wipe out all opposition. He\u2019s a statist in that regard. He doesn\u2019t want debate with John Boehner. He doesn\u2019t want debate with any Republicans. He doesn\u2019t want any political opposition to have any chance whatsoever. Rather than defeat them in the normal arena of ideas, what Obama wants is to just eliminate them. Now, he\u2019s never gonna be able to eliminate them, but he can certainly render them so small that they\u2019re never a factor in terms of opposition, and that\u2019s what he\u2019s trying to do. Therefore, to me, it\u2019s a logical thing to assume, and it\u2019s unmistakable, and it\u2019s impossible not to see what he\u2019s really after. <\/p>\n

He believes the founding of the country was unjust and immoral. The country has been fatally flawed from the beginning. The people who have enjoyed the bounty of this country are not the ones who truly deserved it. The ones who truly deserve it were the ones who were discriminated against, who were enslaved, who were denied assess in favor of the rigged game, among a very small group of elitists, and they\u2019re the targets now. In the process, what he wants to do is convince everybody what he believes, and that is, these Republicans and the descendants of the founders are the reason this country\u2019s the mess it\u2019s in, the reason you don\u2019t have a decent job. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not him. He\u2019s trying to fix that. The reason you don\u2019t have a decent job is because all these stupid Republicans and conservatives and these people that believe in the free market. People that believe in entrepreneurism, individual, rugged individualism, all that\u2019s for suckers. That\u2019s a line of pap that you\u2019ve been sold your whole life and everybody in this country\u2019s been sold their whole life. So what his objective is, is to get the Republicans to admit all of this. That it is their policies that have caused the economic mess that we\u2019re in. The tax cuts from Reagan, the tax cuts from Bush, the tax cuts prior to that, conservative policy, economic policy everywhere.<\/p>\n

Whatever policy from the days of the founding of this country that led to the current situation of inequality, the gap of income and wealth and so forth, that\u2019s not fair, it\u2019s not right, we gotta fix it, and he wants everybody to understand who\u2019s responsible for it, as he wipes them out. And part and parcel, this fiscal cliff deal is his golden opportunity to get the Republicans to admit what he believes. To admit that their ideas — by the way, not just their ideas. That their implemented policies have led to this mess. He wants the Republicans to confess to it, to concede to it. He wants every American to believe it so that there\u2019s no such thing as a politician advocating tax cuts ever again who will win. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the objective. No more tax cuts. No more of this free market thinking, no more. That\u2019s not gonna happen anymore because look what it led to. What it led to is where we are right now. Everybody\u2019s in misery. And it\u2019s gonna be tough for a while. He says the fix is not instant. It\u2019s gonna be a while. It\u2019s gonna take a while to take all that money from people. It\u2019s gonna take a while to make sure people who have been shut out of the health care system now get it. It\u2019s gonna take a while. Ten, 15 years for single payer health coverage. And today, Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, admitted all of this. Jay Carney admitted that I, your humble little host here, am dead-on right about this. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And so we go back to the sound bites. The daily briefing. A reporter basically is asking Carney, “Look, you guys aren\u2019t negotiating. You\u2019re not offering any spending cuts. You\u2019re not offering anything. Republicans have given you what you want here, a little bit of what you want there. But you\u2019re not negotiating. What the hell is with you guys?” <\/p>\n

CARNEY: In 2001 he fiercely advocated for the massive tax cuts that President Bush insisted on. Again in 2003, that went disproportionately to the wealthy, promising that they would lead to economic growth and a middle class that was better off. Let me just say that while I personally am very fond of John Boehner, his record of predicting what would happen if certain policies, economic policies were instituted, is abysmal, okay?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You see? You see? There it is. Bush tax cuts, 2001, 2003, those guys all thought we\u2019re gonna have a middle class better off, economic growth. It didn\u2019t happen. You see, what\u2019s happened the last four years is not relevant to the way things are today. It was the Bush years. That\u2019s why he keeps blaming Bush, by the way. And people, by the way, do, too. A majority of people that voted for Obama blame the Bush economy for this mess. He has succeeded in making a majority of people who vote think that. Therefore, they\u2019re admitting now — look, Boehner, he\u2019s the problem. Boehner\u2019s policies are the problem. We\u2019re not gonna adopt this anymore. We\u2019re not going for spending cuts. We\u2019re not gonna do what they said anymore. Look where it led.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about Obama, but Jay Carney knows he\u2019s full of it here. Jay Carney knows this is all a bunch of crap. But he\u2019s gotta lie for his boss. Obama, I don\u2019t know. I think Obama knows exactly what his he\u2019s a doing. I think he understands that capitalism is the best. He just doesn\u2019t like it because it doesn\u2019t take him where he wants to go, but for these guys to act like nothing they\u2019ve done in these four years has contributed to this mess? That is just unbelievable. But that\u2019s what they\u2019re saying, and a majority of voters agree with them that all these last four years have been is an attempt to fix all these Republican mistakes, from Reagan on, from the founding on. <\/p>\n

If Obama would, he\u2019d say, “You know what? You\u2019re right. I can\u2019t in four years fix what went wrong for 230 years. It\u2019s gonna take me longer than that. And there\u2019s gonna be some pain along the way. And I\u2019m sorry, but that\u2019s what we\u2019re gonna have to endure to get to where this country should have been from the beginning.” That\u2019s what\u2019s happening here. And Carney ‘s just admitted it. See, the objective is to get Boehner to agree 2001, 2003 tax cuts, all those promises, nope, didn\u2019t happen, dead wrong. In fact, just the opposite happened. And then Carney, he wasn\u2019t finished, he said this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CARNEY: Because after 1993, after that budget plan was passed, we saw record economic growth. We saw record job creation. We saw the middle class strengthed and made more secure, and we saw vast amounts of wealth created in this country. In the aftermath of those two massive tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 that President Bush authored and then Congressman Boehner advocated, we saw stagnation for the middle class. We saw anemic economic growth, and then the worst financial crisis of our lifetimes, not to mention surpluses turned into deficits.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So there you have it. The Clinton policies of getting rid of the Reagan tax cuts, raising taxes, Clinton\u2019s tax increases, record economic growth, record job creation, middle class strengthened, made more secure, vast amounts of wealth created in the Clinton years, once we abandoned Reaganism. And then we went back to it and we had those tax cuts, and here we are again, and Carney said (imitation), “We\u2019re just not gonna do it anymore. We\u2019re not gonna try it their way. Their way doesn\u2019t work. Their way destroys this country. Why, we even had a surplus and they destroyed that, Bush destroyed the Clinton surplus. And now this recession is worse than the Great Depression.” He also makes that point. Don\u2019t doubt me on this, folks. This is dead straight exactly what is happening. And what we have for you next is what they want from Boehner. This is what they want from Boehner. <\/p>\n
