light bulb<\/a>. They don\u2019t see anything wrong with a 40 or $50,000 car that goes 40 miles on a charge. They have literally no grounding in reality. Everything is utopian theory to these people. Look at Michelle Obama\u2019s nonstop vacationing. And it\u2019s not just Michelle and the girls. She takes an entourage. She and her husband going to the same vacation destination, Martha\u2019s Vineyard last year, she flew on her own Boeing 757 four hours before her husband, the president, went. They took two airplanes. These are not people who are in touch. Either that, or they feel like they\u2019re royalty and are entitled. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaWarProsperityChartLONGER.jpg\"\/)
The Obama regime has given a company something like $10 million to develop a light bulb that costs $50, that the free market sees no need for. Everybody was happy with the Thomas Edison good old incandescent light bulb. Nobody was unhappy with it except Obama and his buddies on the left. And for some reason that light bulb of Thomas Edison\u2019s was going to destroy the planet, along with oil and any other sign of progress. It was going to cause global warming or global freezing or climate change or what have you. Things, by the way, human beings are incapable of doing. We don\u2019t have that power, folks, I hate to tell you. We humans don\u2019t have the power to destroy the climate or to even change it. If we did there wouldn\u2019t be winter where people live that don\u2019t like winter. <\/line><\/p>\n
If we had the ability there would be rain every time we needed it and no more what we needed. If we could control it, we\u2019d make sure that no hurricane ever wiped out a city. We have no power over these things. But our vanity is such, on the one hand these leftists think that we have the power to lower the sea levels — Obama said he was going to do that — we have the power to stop climate change. We have the power to stop glaciers from melting and saving the polar bears. The polar bear population, by the way, is skyrocketing out of sight. The polar bears are not dying off. Their habitat is not threatened. <\/p>\n
You new arrivals, you really have no idea how many lies that you have been subjected to over the last 20, 30 years. You really have no idea how much you believe that is just wrong as it can be. There simply is no way that human beings can do all these things. So on the one hand we have all this power. We can stop the melting of the glaciers. We can lower the sea levels. And a moment later, the same leftists can talk about us as if we\u2019re no more important than a rat, when we start talking about animal rights. We\u2019re no different, we\u2019re no better, we\u2019re not superior to any other life form. In fact, the earth would be better off without us. And that really is it: They don\u2019t see any good in humanity. Humanity\u2019s a problem. Particularly free people are a problem. <\/p>\n
Free people get us into too much trouble. Free people start wars. Free people get rich while other people get poor. Free people exploit other people. Free people laugh and bully other people. Free people do all these rotten things and we\u2019ve gotta stop this. The only way we can stop it is to take freedom away from people so they can\u2019t bully anybody anymore, they can\u2019t get rich anymore, they can\u2019t be unfair, can\u2019t be unequal. That\u2019s how a guy like Obama solves a problem, take freedom away. Make everybody equal. Because freedom\u2019s the problem. Freedom is what results in people being different, see. They can\u2019t have people being different. That\u2019s not right. That\u2019s not justice, for people to be different. Just not fair. <\/p>\n
So, we have to make sure these rich people, these free people don\u2019t run around and destroy the planet with their jets — Obama\u2019s exempted; Michelle\u2019s exempted — don\u2019t go out and do all this destruction. So we take their freedom away from \u2019em. And then we make \u2019em do things against their nature \u2019cause they won\u2019t do the right thing unless we force \u2019em to. So in order to get \u2019em to buy that light bulb that we demand they use, we\u2019re gonna take the one they like off the market. We\u2019re gonna make it illegal to buy a Thomas Edison invented light bulb in the United States of America. We\u2019re gonna make it illegal. Because you people who won\u2019t give it up on your own are hurting the climate, are harming the climate, you could destroy the world. And we can\u2019t sit around idly while you rich people who don\u2019t care about anybody else destroy the world.<\/p>\n
So we\u2019re gonna take your freedom away and tell you you can\u2019t buy that light bulb. And instead, we\u2019re gonna make you buy this other light bulb. Costs 50 bucks, looks like spaghetti, and we gave a guy $10 million, his company to create it. Story right here: ” Government-Subsidized Green Light Bulb Carries Costly Price Tag.” It\u2019s the Washington Post. “The U.S. government last year announced a $10 million award, dubbed the ‘L Prize,\u2019 for any manufacturer that could create a ‘green\u2019 but affordable light bulb. Energy Secretary Steven Chu –” who had just stepped off his bicycle “– said the prize would spur industry to offer the costly bulbs, known as LEDs, at prices ‘affordable for American families.'”<\/p>\n
You see, the market won\u2019t do that on its own, folks. The free market will not come up with the most efficient, cheapest, mass-produced product that most people want. No, no! Well, of course that\u2019s exactly what the market does. That is exactly what the market does. The market comes up with the most-efficient-to-produce, the cheapest-to-buy, the best-possible-for-the-money product. It is the Obamas of the world who don\u2019t trust the free market. When the free market doesn\u2019t do what Obama wants it to do, it\u2019s not enough to say, “Damn it!” Obama\u2019s gonna step in and punish them and make them do what he wants to do.<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushLIES.jpg\"\/)
Even if he\u2019s going to cite powers as president that he doesn\u2019t have from the Constitution! So Steven Chu, who doesn\u2019t drive a car, “Nobel prize-winning energy secretary,” said that this $10 million bribe — ahem — award would spur otherwise cold-hearted, callous private sector businesses to offer up these green light bulbs at prices affordable for the American family. Because without the government stepping in, without the government getting \u2019em do it, no business will sell anything that\u2019s affordable. You understand that? Every private sector business will do nothing but rip you off. That\u2019s what Obama wants you to believe; it\u2019s what the Democrats want you to believe.<\/line><\/p>\n
Hell, some of you do. So they\u2019re the white knights. They come in and they get to punish these private sector guys. They get to say, “You\u2019re being ripped off. All these people the private sector, they\u2019re ripping you off but we — who care about you most — are gonna give some business $10 million if they come up with a solution.” It\u2019s sort of like this new Tesla roadster. You heard about this? A $100,000 hybrid car. The Karma. It\u2019s a $100,000 hybrid car, high end. You can all afford a $100,000 car, right? This $100,000 hybrid electric car is being tested. It\u2019s in its moment of glory for Consumer Reports, and it just shuts down. It went kaput. It\u2019s $100,000. That\u2019s right. For the upper crust, the elites. So, back to the light bulb.<\/p>\n
The government says: Here\u2019s $10 million. What you end up with has to be affordable for the American people and there must be a buy America component in it, which meant that portions of the bulb would have to be made in the United States. The winning bulb is on the market. It was made by Philips, and it cost $50. “Retailers say that the $50 light bulb is likely to cost too much to have broad appeal. Similar LED bulbs are less than half that cost.” Brad Paulsen, merchant for the bulb category eight Home Depot said, “I don\u2019t want to say it\u2019s exorbitant, but if a customer\u2019s only looking at the price, they could come to that conclusion.”<\/p>\n
What do you…? This guy is even afraid to tell the truth! He said: You expect me to stay in business selling a $50 light bulb? Mandated by the government? It\u2019s the L Prize. Stands for “ludicrous.” Maybe the president… I\u2019ll tell you what will happen next. Next, folks, certain Americans will get a $45 tax credit for every $50 light bulb they buy. That\u2019s how they do it: Pay you to buy it since they\u2019re so in touch. Since they already care about you more than anybody else, they\u2019ll pay you $45 of tax credit to buy the $50 bulb. I can just see it now. After giving you a $10,000 tax credit to go buy a Chevy Volt, they\u2019ll throw in a free $50 bulb for when you get home.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s how they\u2019ll do it.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019ve got these sound bites I mentioned, ladies and gentlemen. Diane Sawyer and a couple of others. They\u2019re just beside themselves that billionaires are self-made. It was Wednesday night, ABC\u2019s World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer, the anchor, and she reported this about the latest edition of the Forbes list of billionaires.<\/p>\n
SAWYER: The Forbes billionaires list, the richest people in the world, and today we got a look at some surprising people who made the cut this time. There are 1,226 billionaires, 16 more than last year — 104 women; that\u2019s a record — and 128 are new. But as we scanned this list, we did notice a kind of revolution underway, because so many of this year\u2019s billionaires bootstrapped their way onto the list.<\/p>\n
RUSH: So many of them “bootstrapped” it. Well, how else do you get there? I want to know: Who gives people a billion dollars? How else is somebody going to come up with a billion? That\u2019s a lot of money, folks. How do people become billionaires in Diane Sawyer\u2019s view, in her world? Do you go to Harvard and they just give that to you for graduating? Are you a Kennedy family member and you inherit it? Of course now they\u2019ve squandered it all. There isn\u2019t that kind of money left with the Kennedys, not to spread around to all of them. So where do you get it? Where did Warren Buffett get it? Where did Gates?<\/p>\n
Where did these people get their billions? What does she think? “[W]e did notice a kind of revolution underway, because so many of this year\u2019s billionaires bootstrapped their way onto the list.” Yeah, they worked for it. Golly! Imagine! They worked for it. Nobody gave it to them. Why, that doesn\u2019t compute. So the next sound bite we have, Wednesday night on ABC\u2019s World News Tonight, the business correspondent, Bianna Golodryga reporting about who\u2019s on the latest edition of Forbes billionaire list. This reporter\u2019s husband is Obama\u2019s former director of the Office of Management and Budget, Peter Orszag. So this babe doing the reporting is the wife of a former Obama administration official.<\/p>\n
GOLODRYGA: The creator of Spanx was only 29 when she invested her entire life savings, $5,000, into an idea, inspired when she heard Oprah saying she made her own version of a tummy flattener. (Cha-ching!) Kevin Plank, the self-proclaimed sweatiest guy on the football field, turned that sweat into gold, coming up with Under Armor, a moisture-absorbing sports apparel line. (Cha-ching!) Car aficionado Elon Musk raced his way to a cool two billion, thanks to his electrifying electric car company, Tesla. And less than a year after the death of Steve Jobs, his widow, Laurene, entered the list with an estimated $9 billion. Out of the 128 newly minted billionaires this year, two out of three are self-made, inspiration for all of us.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Whew. “[T]wo out of three are self-made, inspiration…” At least they said that. What a shocker, folks. Entrepreneurs become billionaires in America! Who would have thought it? Who woulda thought that could possibly happen? Entrepreneurs become billionaires in America! Two out of three “bootstrapped” their way up! Do you understand that? You didn\u2019t know that was possible, did you? Some of you might not have known. I remember now we\u2019ve got a lot of new arrivals here this week. Maybe some of you think that\u2019s grossly unfair, but I don\u2019t know how. They worked for it. And on Nightline the same night on Wednesday night, this is John Donvan\u2019s report on the Forbes list.<\/p>\n
DONVAN: (funky music) So who is really way up there where the network gets into the forties and the fifties and the sixties of billions? Well, some familiar old faces, and we could list their products, though all of them, what they really make — no matter what — is money.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Oh. See, you have to get the dig in. What billionaires really do is make money. That\u2019s about it! They don\u2019t do anything but make money.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Look at this as Rush 101 today. Remedial Rush, to bring up to speed those who are new arrivals to the program this week, and they are here in droves, in the millions. We just had in the last half hour, although I didn\u2019t call attention to it, but we nevertheless had a side-by-side illustration of socialism versus capitalism. On the one hand, you have the United States government, Barack Obama via his energy chief who doesn\u2019t have a car, Steve Chu. You know what this country needs is a good new light bulb, a green light bulb, that\u2019s what we need, a green light bulb, because we\u2019re destroying the planet with our regular light bulbs. And we are using too much coal, and we are wasting too much energy. Never mind how much coal is used in electric cars. <\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushJoinRush247.jpg\"\/)
<\/a>But nevertheless we are destroying the planet. We have to get rid of oil. We have to become more responsible, Mr. Limbaugh, in the way we use our energy. So the government decides to bribe with $10 million anybody who can come up with a replacement light bulb. An LED light bulb that can save America, that can save our electric consumption, that can save the climate. Ten million. The Obama administration didn\u2019t wait for the market to create this because of need and desire and all the other human factors that go into making the market work. Nope, the regime didn\u2019t trust the market. Obama says the market won\u2019t do what\u2019s right. I am what\u2019s right, I know what\u2019s right, and it doesn\u2019t do it on its own. I\u2019m gonna have to command-and-control it. <\/p>\nSo here\u2019s this $10 million incentive, they called it the L Prize. Stands for ludicrous. And a company called Philips, for $10 million, invented a $50 light bulb for average Americans to save the planet and to go green. Shortly after that we played sound bites from an incredulous Diane Sawyer and her reporterette on ABC about all the new billionaires on the Forbes list. Over a thousand new billionaires. Not one of them, by the way, had invented a light bulb. Not one of them received a government grant. Not one of them was paid $10 million. That was the point of the story. ABC\u2019s Diane Sawyer is stunned that these people bootstrapped themselves to wealth. John Donvan, the Nightline reporter said, (paraphrasing) “Yeah, well, what these billionaires mostly do is have money.” So they got their snark in there. <\/p>\n
But it was pointed out that one thousand some odd new billionaires are utilizing the United States free market, capitalism. Obama wasn\u2019t involved. Obama had nothing to do with it. The Democrat Party, as far as we know, had nothing to do with it. Side by side illustrations there, folks, of what is the better of the two. Ten million dollar government prize, government involvement, government command-and-control, create a light bulb. Here you go, $50, requires a $45 tax credit to buy one. So I just wanted to point that out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
