Allen writes, &#8220;President Bush\u2019s recent vow to crack down on federal spending faces an immediate test in South Dakota, where he is rebuffing pleas for drought aid even though they come from the Republican nominee in a crucial Senate race the president keenly wants to claim.&#8221;<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/aug_16_daschle_to_sd.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"294\" height=\"209\" class=\"alignleft\"\/> The story has it all wrong. This drought throughout the plains states and elsewhere has been going on for several years. It didn\u2019t just start this election cycle. Now, there\u2019s a very powerful man in South Dakota. His name is Tom &#8220;Puff&#8221; Daschle and he\u2019s the all-powerful illegitimate Senate majority leader. He controls what bills come to the Senate floor, and he obviously has had other priorities. He\u2019s the one who didn\u2019t have time to pass a prescription drug bill to help you seasoned citizens. He loves this drought, because he thinks he can blame it on Bush.<\/line><BR\/>In fact, the only bill he had time for wasn\u2019t to help anyone ? other than his wife and the airline industry she works for as a lobbyist. <strong><emphasize>Besides, Bush just signed that pork-filled Farm Bill a few months ago. There\u2019s relief money in there already!<\/emphasize><\/strong> We\u2019re paying rich farmers not to do their work because they have excess crops. Daschle is also trying to blame ? of course ? the Bush tax cut that hasn\u2019t even taken effect yet. The truth? The deficit this year is said to be about $160 billion, and these rebates are said to have cost, so far, $50 billion. Do the math, Senator ? or simply listen to Rush join the president\u2019s comments in progress below.
