Thousands upon thousands of peopleare dropping off the labor rolls completelybecause they\u2019ve given up looking for work. The housing market is still sucking wind. Despite the automobile takeover, Saturn&#8211; part of the old General Motors&#8211; went kaput. The &#8220;shovel-ready&#8221; projects that were supposed to jumpstart the economyare still shovel-waiting&#8230;even though Obama and the Democrat Congress spent trillions on their Porkulus and bailout programs.<\/p>\n<p>But one place is seeing stimulus, folks, and that\u2019sCongress. This week, Democrats in the House and the Senate voted to stimulate their own business. They granted themselves a 6 percent increase so they can run their offices&#8211; while <emphasize>they<\/emphasize> run the country into the ground. The Congressional budget increase also allocated a half million dollarsto publicize their town meetings (as though we don\u2019t know when they\u2019re happening).<\/p>\n<p>Those of you who run or manage a businessknow what kind of environment you face on a daily basis. Every expense item is under scrutiny: you\u2019re laying off employees, freezing salaries, eliminating bonuses. You\u2019ve cut budgets to the bone, scaled back travel, reduced advertising (except my sponsors). You\u2019re doing everything humanly possible to keep your doors open and your companies alive.<\/p>\n<p>And what are the Democrats doing? They\u2019re raising your taxes, they\u2019re traveling on junkets, they\u2019re squandering billions on their every whim. And now they give themselves yet another budget increase to do more of the same?<\/p>\n<p>One question. Is that what you voted for? Hmmm?<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush\u2019s Morning Update: Increase!October 5, 2009Watch It!
