Glad you waited.  Great to have you on the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  It\u2019s a pleasure and an honor to talk with you.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I just wanted to say with this bill, that jobs bill he\u2019s got coming up, he wants everybody to pass for him, and all he\u2019s talking about are government jobs mostly:  teachers and firefighters and construction workers that work for the cities and the counties.  Why doesn\u2019t he put together a bill to put the private sector back to work so that the local localities could take care of their teachers and their firefighters like it\u2019s supposed to be?<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_55300\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Obama-Shaft-0.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH:  Because that\u2019s not his objective.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  His objective is not putting private sector workers back to work.  There\u2019s a way to do that.  It involves government getting out of the way, primarily.  But he\u2019s not about that.  This is a tax increase bill, and, you\u2019re right, the jobs that it creates are basically for one year: teachers, firefighters, cops.  After the one year, it\u2019s up to the local municipality to keep paying them or laying them off.  In the meantime, they\u2019re all members of unions and they all pay dues.  And where do the dues go?  To the Democrat Party.  So this jobs bill is really nothing more than another slush fund, pure and simple. <\/p>\n<p>I mean stop and think, folks, really.  A jobs bill that\u2019s $457 billion, or 427, whatever it is, when is the last time anybody ever credibly thought that this is how jobs are created, federal spending, and $427 billion, how many jobs can be created?  The whole notion here is absurd.  And so now to keep the ruse alive, Obama, (imitation) &#8220;Okay, they rejected the whole thing.  Well, I\u2019ll break it up into parts and I\u2019ll have a $35 billion jobs bill,&#8221; this is for the teachers and the firefighters, &#8220;and let\u2019s make the Republicans tell the nation why they don\u2019t want cops to have jobs and why they don\u2019t want teachers to have jobs and then when we get to the next section of it, let\u2019s have the Republicans tell the American public why they don\u2019t want new roads and why they don\u2019t want new airports like the ChiComs have and why they don\u2019t want new schools,&#8221; and all of this. <\/p>\n<p>You gotta understand here, Susan, this is never supposed to pass.  None of this is. I mean it would be a wet dream if it did, but it\u2019s not supposed to.  It is merely there as a campaign tool for Obama and the Democrats to hopefully be able to portray the Republicans at anti-people.  The Republicans want dirtier air; the Republicans want dirtier water.  And they want fewer people with health care.  This is what Obama is saying.  There\u2019s already a 26 or $36 million save jobs for teachers bill in California.  If you remember that one, the school districts that got the money did not use it to hire teachers.  They used it to shore up the pension fund for existing teachers. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You know, maybe if these events that President Obama is at, these staged, Astroturf events, if they weren\u2019t stuffed with reporters at all these bus tour stops at North Carolina and Virginia, maybe somebody would stand up and ask, &#8220;Hey, Mr. President, you spend billions of our dollars on phony green jobs, solar, wind, jobs in China, jobs in Brazil, jobs in Mexico.  How about you give us all that money back?&#8221;  Where is there any accounting on the money that\u2019s already been spent and been wasted by this regime?  Look at all Solyndras that are out there that are known and look at all of the wind energy that is now being funded.  And there\u2019s no business to fund.  No energy is being created.  There aren\u2019t any jobs being created. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a whole lot of crony capitalism going on.  And nobody ever, ever asks this guy to account for the money he\u2019s already spent that\u2019s ostensibly gone toward job creation.  Really this is absurd.  Almost a trillion dollars in combined stimulus before he throws this one up at everybody.  In a sane media world the first question out of anybody\u2019s mouth would be, &#8220;Well, the first one didn\u2019t work, and no matter what you say we\u2019re nowhere near the targets you said that first stimulus would get us.  Why in the world are you doing it again?&#8221;  There hasn\u2019t been one question of that nature.  The questions are all to the Republicans.  &#8220;Why do you hate people?  Why do you want people to have dirtier water and bumpy roads and dirty schools?&#8221;  Flat-out, plain ridiculous and absurd. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Susan in Chicago.
