RUSH: Last night in the Democrat debate — and I haven\u2019t had a chance to read in detail the audio sound bite roster, we might have some sound bites of the debate last night — but I\u2019ve gotta tell you, folks, it was so boring, and it dragged on so long. It was funereal. It just was. The lighting was horrible, it was so bad, it was good. One of the things they kept talking about, they got into arguments about the stimulus package, gotta stimulate the economy. ‘Hell, yes, Limbaugh, we\u2019re going into a recession.\u2019 So Mrs. Clinton is proposing all kinds of things, a $70 billion stimulus package. Big whoop. She also proposed a freeze in foreclosures, a freeze in mortgage interest rates and so forth. She would destroy the mortgage industry. She would destroy it. I don\u2019t know if she\u2019d actually implement this stuff, but this is the epitome of pandering to people. A lot of people are really, really worried that the equity in their house, the value is plummeting. Even though they\u2019re paying their mortgages, they\u2019re concerned about this, I think more so than the price of gasoline, so the Democrats pander here.<\/p>\n

But notice what Democrats, or anybody, people talk about stimulus packages all the time. The greatest stimulus package on the face of the earth is a tax cut. It is a tax cut. We were talking about health care yesterday with the guy in the last hour that called from Pinehurst, North Carolina. If you missed it, this is the guy that was rather accusatory of me on what he said was my wealth, which insulates me, in his mind, from the hardships of life and I\u2019ve lost my way. These things come up periodically, ‘You\u2019re out of touch.\u2019 The first time it ever happened was some caller from Nacogdoches, Texas, and his complaint, ‘You don\u2019t have any trouble paying the electric bill, you don\u2019t know what life\u2019s like out here.\u2019 And I just blew up. I blew up yesterday at this guy. He said, ‘I made a hundred thousand dollars one year, and my wife, we didn\u2019t make anything the next.\u2019 Well, did you save anything? You know, a hundred thousand dollars isn\u2019t bad. I never made a hundred thousand dollars until I was over 40, well into my forties, and I just turned 57 last week.<\/p>\n

Anyway, stimulus package, best thing you can do is cut taxes. We were talking about health care with this guy yesterday, ‘You don\u2019t know what it costs.\u2019 Yes I do, because I pay for it. I don\u2019t want to mess with the insurance because it\u2019s a hassle. I\u2019m lucky. I had to mess with it in the past, didn\u2019t want to. I pay for a lot of other people\u2019s health insurance, folks, in addition to my own. I am an employer. Don\u2019t tell me I don\u2019t know this stuff. But, I had an interesting thought. I want some of you to check this next time you have a chance, just check and see if your property tax every year is higher than what you\u2019re paying for health insurance. Not what your benefit is. If your company provides you 80% of — what your out-of-pocket health care expenses are, find out if your property tax is higher than your health care. Yours isn\u2019t, Brian? Do you know what your property tax is? Well, you must live in a dump. You bought the house? Okay. Well, my property tax, I\u2019ll be ashamed to tell you. But it dwarfs my health care coverage, and I\u2019ll bet a lot of people\u2019s property tax is higher than what you\u2019re paying on health care. And would you ever stop to think, well, maybe somebody ought to do something about your property tax and cutting that? What kind of stimulus would that be? Or maybe further income tax rate reductions or making these current tax cuts permanent?<\/p>\n

Mrs. Clinton wants to give 250 or 300 bucks per person? Big whoop. We\u2019ve been through this before. The last time somebody came up with this plan — who was it, George H. W. Bush did a stimulus package, or was it the Clintons? I forget what it was. But it was enough to go out and buy a muffler for your car. Another thing with the stimulus package, you know what\u2019s going to happen, most people are going to take it and retire debt with it. Well, that\u2019s what happened last time, anyway, statistically. Home insurance here in Florida could be just as much as health care, and then if you gotta go out and get other kinds of insurance, hurricane and all this stuff, look at what your insurance is and what that\u2019s costing you and what your property taxes are compared to health care, and I\u2019ll bet you that you\u2019ll be stunned to learn that in most of your cases — not all of you, of course — but in most cases, you\u2019re being taxed, or charged, far more for other things in life than your health care is costing you. Check that out.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I don\u2019t believe this. I do not believe this. Listen to this. Hillary Clinton has put out a press release. ‘Hillary Clinton, joined by New Jersey governor John Corzine and Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm, discuss solutions for the American economy on a conference call today.\u2019 This is absurd. She\u2019s going to have a conference call with two governors whose states are fiscal basket cases, to discuss how to improve the economy! It\u2019s worse than absurd. It is stupid, and she just had a shocking night in Michigan last night. I mean, 70% of the African-American vote went over there and voted for Mr. Uncommitted, not her. People in Michigan, do you believe this? Hillary in a press conference call with Jennifer Granholm to discuss solutions to the economy?<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The ‘stimulus package,\u2019 the Democrats in their debate last night, talk about a stimulus package. It\u2019s just a joke, folks. It\u2019s just a ruse to grow the government, to get you more dependent on the government, and to get the government bigger. A seventy billion dollar stimulus package? Whoop-whoop! It\u2019s not going to accomplish anything. That might be able to go buy a muffler. That\u2019s what you were able to do with the last stimulus package, remember that? Two hundred bucks or something was a muffler at Meineke, maybe a muffler-and-a-half at Wal-Mart. I don\u2019t know. But that\u2019s about what it was worth.<\/p>\n

Of course, the last stimulus package, if I\u2019m not mistaken, the last stimulus package was instituted by a Republican, and the press made jokes about it. Where do you think the muffler thing came from? The Drive-Bys, the Democrats, said, ‘Well, this is really no good. All you can do is just go buy a muffler with this thing. It\u2019s not really a stimulus.\u2019 It was Tom Daschle. That\u2019s right. It was Tom Daschle, the Puffster, who was the Senate majority leader from South Dakota. It was the Puffster who said that. So it must have been Bush. Was there a Bush stimulus package? It was the Bush stimulus package early on, coming out of a recession; they made fun of it. Now the Democrats are talking about much the same thing. ‘Oh, it\u2019s wonderful! They care. We need this to stave off the recession.\u2019 So, you get what you let, and that\u2019s a sad thing, because the people up on the Democrat side are all disasters. Some on the Republican side are just as bad.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
