RUSH: Here\u2019s Conan, as we go back to the phones. Conan in Charlottesville, Virginia. Nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Fifteen-handicap, two-supporting dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I represent an uncounted and invisible member of the unemployed class: the small business owner that can no longer afford to take a paycheck.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s the same thing as being unemployed. How many employees do you have?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I had about 15. I\u2019m down to 10, and my wife has gone from 10 to 5 in her business.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you\u2019re paying 10 employees while you get zilch?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s pretty much it, and my work week\u2019s a lot longer than 33 hours.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, people are asking an obvious question. This is what they don\u2019t understand. ‘How can you pay yourself nothing and eat?\u2019<\/p>\n

CALLER: Living off of my savings.<\/p>\n

RUSH: A-ha. Why don\u2019t you fire another worker and pay yourself?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Then I\u2019d be working 90 hours a week. So I\u2019m hoping for a turnaround. I\u2019m hoping Obama\u2019s war on corporate travel will end soon and my business will bounce back, and I hope people get a little more confident and my wife\u2019s business will bounce back.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m glad you said that. I have so many friends in the hospitality business, and they are hurting. The hospitality golf business is suffering. My golf trip next week features some of the premiere golf courses in the country. I had no trouble getting them. Everybody is scared to go! The hospitality business is in deep trouble because Obama\u2019s got everybody afraid to act prosperous or go out and have a good time, while he\u2019s living it up with luaus and trips to France and trips to Camp David and so forth. I know presidents get their own entertainment budget and food, and he\u2019s gotta have blown past it. It\u2019s not that much. He\u2019s going to have to qualify all this as official state business to pay for all of it, luaus and all of that sort of thing — and the Iranians didn\u2019t even show up for the hot dogs, or they\u2019re not going to. <\/p>\n

I guess they took my advice. They\u2019re going to use Hebrew national hot dogs and keep the Iranians away. At any rate, he\u2019s in the corporate travel business and nobody is traveling corporately. The hospitality business is in deep trouble — by design. Remember, it was Obama who said (doing Obama impression), ‘Hey, these days of traveling around, taking a jet to Las Vegas? Those days are over.\u2019 He gets these big business guys in and says, ‘I\u2019m the only guy standing between you and the pitchforks.\u2019 Remember that? And he says, ‘Look, those days are over. We can\u2019t just eat what we want to eat and keep our thermostats at 72 degrees and expect the rest of the world to accept that. Those days are over.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Except for him. Interesting. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
