RUSH: Here\u2019s Emily in San Francisco. Hey, Emily. It\u2019s nice to have you on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks. I listen to you every day. It\u2019s something to look forward to, especially on a Monday morning. It was a terrific show yesterday.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you. Thank you very much. What about today\u2019s? I think we\u2019re off to a pretty roaring start today.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yes. There are so many topics to talk about. For example, I wanted to talk about the fact that the Clintons want to take credit for the nineties, for the ‘great economy,\u2019 which today is the greatest boom in the world we\u2019ve ever seen in history. All the countries in the world are booming. It\u2019s incredible how they took credit for the nineties when it wasn\u2019t until 1994, November of 1994 that everything changed because a Republican legislature came in.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Actually, to be thorough and honest about this, if there hadn\u2019t been Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, then the nineties wouldn\u2019t have happened and whatever the Republican Congress did in \u201994 would not have been as successful because their starting point would have been much different. So you really gotta go back to the eighties and the drastic, the drastic reduction in marginal tax rates which spurred the economy. They had some glitches. The real estate market had some problems because they did change tax codes and behaviors and so forth. When that ironed out, it was ‘Katie, bar the door.\u2019 We are still experiencing the boom of the eighties to this day.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly. The thing is, though, as President Bush was saying on Saturday, he hopes to balance the budget in five years, within five years. However, the Democrats, almost like blackmail, they have to put in a $22 billion, you know, just overspending in order to ruin it, because within five years, the president explained, that $22 billion could add up to close to a quarter of a trillion dollars just in their overspending. So they are the tax-and-spend bunch. We put them in as a president, you get someone like Hillary, and then you get at Congress filled with Democrats that are left-wing. It\u2019s no longer the Democrat Party we knew of the Kennedys. We now have a left-wing party.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They do, Emily. They have the left-wing party. We don\u2019t. In fact, since you mention that, two things. This business of balancing the budget in five years? I remember the nineties. A balanced budget was a big deal, but I remember Clinton saying (impression), ‘Well, we could balance in two years, do it in five. We could do it in ten years.\u2019 It wasn\u2019t a priority. I\u2019ve been hearing this so much. I\u2019m 56. I am a seasoned adult now. I\u2019m not yet a seasoned citizen, but I\u2019m a seasoned adult and I\u2019ve been hearing about all these financial crises my whole life. ‘The national debt! Why, it\u2019s going to wipe us out! Why, the deficit is going to wipe us out. The budget is not balanced!\u2019 Well, I look around, and for how long have I been paying attention? I started paying attention when I was twelve years old, so over 40 years here, and all these predictions of collapse and doom and gloom, and they happen every year, and they happen every day, and some of them recycle. The deficit\u2019s going to wipe us out. The national debt\u2019s going to wipe us out. The ChiComs holding so much of our foreign debt — and it never happens. We just keep roaring right along. My advice is: don\u2019t panic. Don\u2019t let \u2019em put you into panic. As for the Democrats and overspending, they are tax and spend party. They\u2019re redistributionists. They want to control you. They want to control as many people\u2019s lives as they can. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
