We live in the real world, and then we live in the Obama-snorting world. In the real world, we just learned in a document dump late Friday afternoon, that the national debt would increase not by one or two billion dollars, not by ten or 20 billion, but by $2,000 billion, $2 trillion. That\u2019s how much we are going to be adding to the national debt via the deficit, annual budget deficit: $2,000 billion. But in the Obama-snorting world out there with the State-Controlled Media, we hear that Obama\u2019s &#8216;fiscally responsible,\u2019 and we hear that he will &#8216;cut deficits.\u2019 And he says it persuasively, elegantly, believably. It happens. He speaks within the expertise of his audience\u2019s understanding. Meanwhile, the debt is piling up at record rate, unseen in this nation ever. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125109.Par.89380.ImageFile_579144bc12d4f.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Yet we hear that Obama is responsible, that he\u2019s fiscally responsible, that he\u2019s going to be cutting these deficits and that\u2019s why we have to do health care. That $2,000 billion more &#8212; $2 trillion, $2,000 billion more in debt &#8212; is before the additional $1,000 billion to $2,000 billion more that Obamacare will add to it. The new debt figure was the biggest news of the year, and so far it\u2019s the least reported news of the year. In the real world, Obama\u2019s health care plan is collapsing under the weight of its own undeliverable promises. In the Obama-snorting world, Obamacare is collapsing with &#8216;disinformation,\u2019 because of the Republicans, because the Republicans are lying about it, because talk radio is lying about it. But the truth is, it\u2019s collapsing under the weight of its own undeliverable promises and the fact that people have lost trust in the president of the United States. <\/p>\n<p>He tells us that doctors want to sever feet and other limbs for profit, that doctors want to remove tonsils for profit. He\u2019s doing everything to demonize the insurance agencies, the insurance companies, and so forth. At the same time saying he doesn\u2019t want to take over health insurance, but he does want to tell insurers who they have to insure and what they have to cover, what they can charge and what they can earn in salary and profits, what states they can sell in. But he says he doesn\u2019t want take over the health insurance business! No, they don\u2019t want to take over health insurance. The translation is they will still allow insurers to keep their company names on the policies, but that will be about it. We have an amazing dichotomy. The world that we live in versus the world that the Obama State-Controlled Media tries to tell us we live in. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Alan in Long Island, you\u2019re great to wait. Thank you for calling the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Mr. Limbaugh?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: A pleasure. Let me say, I am the son and grandson of CPAs. My father, in fact my employer, read this bill, this medical bill as this president claims to call it, and he has said, &#8216;This thing is going to destroy us, it\u2019s going to do no one any benefit.\u2019 He said it was insane. Every doctor we have, and we have a majority of doctors as clients, every doctor we have is afraid of what this bill is going to do to them because how are we going to continue to function? How are they going to continue to work if they\u2019re told we can only perform certain procedures and we can\u2019t help people because doing that would be too much. They don\u2019t deserve to live. What kind of right does the government have to say that?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: They don\u2019t. That\u2019s what people are so alarmed about. Finally people are waking up, the government doesn\u2019t have the right to tell you you can live or not. It\u2019s not of the government\u2019s decision whether you have your insurance now and you get to keep it. Like I said earlier, there are people going hungry. Why don\u2019t we nationalize the food business and agriculture and why doesn\u2019t Obama tell us what we can eat and tell us what we can\u2019t eat? Why don\u2019t they go all the way? Well, they will if given the chance. Health care is the vehicle that lets \u2019em do it. We got a homeless problem. Why don\u2019t we nationalize that, why don\u2019t we start building houses for the homeless? We got all kinds of problems. Why do we nationalize everything? Well, that\u2019s the end result. And they know it\u2019s going to take years and years and years to do it, but just as it was in Nazi Germany, the National Socialist party, health care was the building block foundation. Just as the Constitution was the foundation and the Declaration of Independence was the foundation of this country, premised on individual liberty and freedom, nationalized health care is the foundation on which all of that that we got from the founding vanishes. It is the end of liberty and freedom. And then there will be building blocks on top of it. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125109.Par.4584.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright\"\/>Once you get nationalized health care, forget public option &#8212; there\u2019s going to be a public option, there\u2019s no reason for them to do this without a public option. Everything they say about, &#8216;Well, we may not get the public option.\u2019 BS, they\u2019re going to get it, they want it. They\u2019re not thinking they can\u2019t get it. They\u2019re thinking how can we get it without anybody knowing it\u2019s happening to them? And with that, they then regulate what you can eat and what you can\u2019t eat and they might be able to regulate where you live down the line. They might be able to regulate every aspect of your life as it relates to health care and cost. In the meantime, we\u2019ve got Obama and all these people in media, &#8216;Oh, it\u2019s so horrible, this great young president, he had so much potential.\u2019 But it is Barack Obama himself directly responsible for the problems that confront him today. Like every other paranoid schizophrenic, the problems are self-created. Barack Obama, for example, has no health care bill to promote or defend. He has none. He can\u2019t take a piece of paper out, he can\u2019t take a folder out say, &#8216;No, no, no, you\u2019re wrong, here it is on page 34, says specifically, no death panels.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>Now, he has not openly endorsed H.R. 3200, the House bill. He has not claimed that as his own. He makes grand and vague promises and assertions as health care would be in Obamalot, Camelot, but he has no single health care bill, he doesn\u2019t have one. The president doesn\u2019t just make promises and assertions about a fictional health care bill. He also attacks those who point out his inconsistencies as half-truths and lies. The president says there are rumors about his health care plan, a plan which does not exist. His plan does not exist. I really do wonder if he is aware of just how detached from reality all this sounds. If we didn\u2019t know that Obama was lying about his intention to destroy private health care in America, he would be suspected of suffering from schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is when a person has a serious thought disorder, hearing voices, that the patient assumes are real. Like in the movie A Beautiful Mind. If Obama was not known as an authoritarian socialist, it would appear he was promoting an imaginary plan. There is no plan. <\/p>\n<p>Did you see the movie A Beautiful Mind? If you didn\u2019t, it\u2019s tough to explain. There was a genuine schizophrenic who thought he was being talked to and led astray by the CIA and other government forces trying to find communist conspiracies and so forth. He was out of his mind nuts but he was brilliant when it came to mathematics, highly respected by his peers. It\u2019s almost the same thing here. Rumors about his health care plan which doesn\u2019t exist, he does not have his own. We know Obama is lying about his intentions to destroy private health care. He says he\u2019s not; we know he wants to. His detachment from reality on this is instructive in a lot of ways. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Folks, we live in two parallel worlds here.
