I have learned that I personally am going to benefit from the Porkulus bill. It was brought to my attention over the weekend, fit to be tied. It turns out one of the shovel-ready projects in Missouri is the Cape Girardeau County Regional Airport. It\u2019s going to receive $1.6 million on pavement maintenance of the runways and the tarmac. That\u2019s where I fly into when I go visit the family. Thus, I am benefiting from the Porkulus. I have a mind to call whoever in the county and say, &#8216;Don\u2019t take it. I\u2019ll give you $800,000 for it, and you\u2019ll probably still have money left over after you do the maintenance, and this way, I won\u2019t feel guilty and you won\u2019t have to take the money.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>I know what they\u2019ll tell me. &#8216;Screw you. We want the full $1.6, we\u2019ll do the maintenance for as cheap as we can, maybe $150, and we\u2019ll pocket the rest for whatever social programs we want and the rest of the county.\u2019 But I\u2019ll make the deal: &#8216;I\u2019ll give you $800 grand right now to fix whatever needs to be fixed on the runways of the airport if you don\u2019t take the Porkulus.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Missouri has a Democrat governor. We only have one statewide elected Republican in Missouri government, and that\u2019s Peter Kinder, he\u2019s lieutenant governor. He was a friend of ours growing up, was a couple years younger than I am and he\u2019s the only elected statewide Republican in all of Missouri. So I know my offer will fall flat, and it\u2019s a good offer, it\u2019s a serious offer, and it\u2019s an offer designed to save everybody money. (interruption) Hm-hm. Missouri did used to be a conservative state. What happened is St. Louis and Kansas City. St. Louis, Kansas City, unions, ACORN, voter registration. That\u2019s what happened to Missouri, like it\u2019s happened in so many other areas. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I\u2019m very embarrassed.
