This next bite is astounding. Since the beginning of the regime we have told you that nothing you hear is real. And what\u2019s next is a great illustration of this. Yesterday in Washington, during a House Oversight Reform Committee (it\u2019s Darrell Issa\u2019s committee), there was a hearing on the Labor Department\u2019s jobs report. The Acting Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a guy named John Galvin, testified. And there was a Q&amp;A.<\/p>\n<p>And we put together a montage here of Darrell Issa and Galvin. They\u2019re having a conversation about &#8220;green jobs.&#8221; Now, what\u2019s interesting here is this is a regime hack from the Labor Department defining what a &#8220;green job&#8221; is. Now, keep in mind the regime is pushing green energy, green sector. They want you to believe that there\u2019s a future in green jobs and that they\u2019re out there creating a bunch of green jobs. So what Issa did is he went through the BLS report, and he was astounded when he found out what the regime is counting as &#8220;green jobs.&#8221; And that\u2019s what the Q&amp;A is all about.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: If you sweep the floor in a solar panel facility, is that a green job?<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: If you drive a hybrid bus, public transportation, is that a green job?<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN: According to our definition, yes.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: What about just any school bus driver?<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN: (pause) Yes.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: What about the guy who puts gas in the school bus?<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: How about employees at a bicycle shop?<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN: I guess I\u2019m not sure about that.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: The answer is yes, according to your definition. What about someone who works at an antique dealer?<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN: I\u2019m not sure about that, either.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: The answer is yes. Those are &#8220;recycled goods.&#8221; What about someone who works at the Salvation Army in their clothing recycling and furniture?<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN: Right, because they\u2019re selling recycled goods.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: What about workers at a consignment shop?<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN: That\u2019s a green job.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: Does the teenage kid who works full time at a used record shop count?<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN: (irritated) Yes.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: Do garbage men have green jobs?<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: How about an oil lobbyist? Wouldn\u2019t an oil lobbyist count as having a green job if they\u2019re engaged in advocacy related to environmental issues?<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>ISSA: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Green jobs.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/IssaGreenJobs.jpg\" align=\"middle\"><br \/>\nThat\u2019s how they\u2019re counting \u2019em.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s Darrell Issa talking to John Galvin from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. So the next time you hear \u2019em talk about how great &#8220;green job&#8221; creation is, you now know it includes kids at bicycle shops and used record shops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Okay, folks, listen up.
