It wasn\u2019t that long ago &#8212; it was earlier this week, because this is Thursday. It might have been late last week, I forget, but within the last week we had a story that Democratic Congressman Bob Wexler from Boca Raton, a big Democrat, had proposed a Democrat idea on Social Security reform and that idea was basically to raise taxes. And my question is: &#8220;Have any of you seen that story anywhere in the mainstream media?&#8221; Have you? You haven\u2019t. I can answer the question for you. You haven\u2019t, because it\u2019s not there. Here you have a Democrat, Bob Wexler, proposing a plan. I mean, the big news is that the Democrats have not been proposing a plan. They\u2019re going to continue to sit by and just obstruct.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-387065\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/05\/wexler_proposes_tax_increase_media_silent.Par_.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"210\" \/>No plan. Nothing whatsoever. Wexler says, &#8220;No, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s right. We need to get the ball moving. I think we need to raise taxes.&#8221; So you had a Democrat get the Democrats off the dime and the media is not reporting, and they are not going to report it. They are not. They are hell-bent on Wexler\u2019s news not being reported. They got marching orders. Well, they don\u2019t need marching orders. They\u2019re on the same page anyway. The media and the Democrats are one and the same, they don\u2019t need marching orders. Now, Barbara Boxer did go up there to the editor\u2019s meeting and told them what to write about the filibuster, and they weren\u2019t upset about that at all, but here\u2019s a basic Democrat proposal for Social Security reform, raising taxes, and it\u2019s being suppressed by the mainstream media &#8212; and there\u2019s a reason for it.<\/p>\n<p>They all know it\u2019s a bad idea; it\u2019s not going to help the Democrats and they\u2019re going to hold the Democrats\u2019 position where it is and that\u2019s, &#8220;We\u2019ve got no plan. We\u2019ve got no idea.&#8221; Meanwhile, nobody\u2019s seen Wexler since his idea was announced by him. I\u2019m not saying any harm has come to him, but nobody\u2019s seen him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Say, folks, I have a question I want to ask you.
