RUSH: This is the anniversary of the Porkulus slush fund, and 6% of the American people, only six, believe that it worked. Fifty-two percent of people in a CNN poll say Obama does not deserve a second term. They\u2019re doubling down on the Big Lie. Only 6% believe it worked. Seventeen percent of Americans are unemployed. This is why Obama does not deserve a second term, and this is why a <\/a>lot of Democrats are jumping off their sinking ship. Senate Republicans have assembled some examples here of stimulus spending on this, the one-year anniversary.

I don\u2019t know what for. But it\u2019s the first anniversary of Obama\u2019s slush fund.<\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: you just heard all of the waste in the slush fund, the Porkulus bill, right? You just heard it. I just went through it. Here\u2019s what Obama said about that today at the White House, the one-year anniversary of his slush fund.<\/line><\/p>\n

OBAMA: Joe and I were just talking in the back, when this thing passed, we said $787 billion, somewhere there\u2019s going to be some story of some money that ended up being misspent, $787 billion spent out over 18 months, that\u2019s a lot — that\u2019s a lot of money, and it is a testimony to Vice President Biden and his team that, as Joe puts it, the dog so far at least hasn\u2019t barked.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you just heard all that waste, but he said this morning there hasn\u2019t been any. The Congressional Budget Office has come out and said that the actual cost of the stimulus is not the $787 billion — it\u2019s actually a trillion, leaving out the earmarks it cost to get votes for this thing — the actual stimulus, 787, but the CBO\u2019s come out and said, no, no, no, it\u2019s $862 billion because of the increase in unemployment compensation benefits we\u2019ve had to pay. And the White House is rejecting the CBO estimate of how much the stimulus act will cost. ‘They don\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about over there.\u2019 Isn\u2019t it interesting the Congressional Budget Office is all knowing and all seeing unless they say something the White House doesn\u2019t like. Now, Obama and Biden know that all of this money is being wasted and they don\u2019t care. They don\u2019t respect the taxpayers of this nation. <\/p>\n

This administration has contempt for you. You are trashed endlessly, businesses are trashed endlessly. They don\u2019t care where their money goes or how much more they\u2019re going to take from people. They don\u2019t care about any of this. They don\u2019t care whether there\u2019s waste or not. Biden\u2019s not controlling anything. These people are out there saying that congressional gridlock and, you know, bye-bye Bayh is saying, no, no, no, congressional gridlock, excessive partisanship, gotta get out of there, it\u2019s why the deficit\u2019s so big. Oh. Well, let\u2019s examine that. Congressional gridlock is the reason the deficit is so large. Somebody on my vast research team needs to find something out for me. Find for me what legislative budget cuts were on the table that were blocked. I want to know. ‘Cause they\u2019re out there saying gridlock is responsible for the deficit, which means there had to be somebody out there trying to cut the budget but the Republicans got in the way. I want to know any legislation that was advanced and debated and voted on to cut the budget. Don\u2019t bother looking, folks. There isn\u2019t any. And there hasn\u2019t been any. <\/p>\n

To the phones. To Hartford, Connecticut. We start with Pete. Nice to have you and I\u2019m really glad you waited, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s a pleasure to speak with you. How you doing today?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Very well, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Listen, earlier you mentioned how Obama is taking credit for this two million jobs saved which is obviously ridiculous. But if that\u2019s going to be his measure then shouldn\u2019t Bush get credit after the 9\/11 attacks for saving all of the jobs, since Al-Qaeda was trying to ruin the country?<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re exactly right. That is why I said earlier I wanted to congratulate Bush for any and all economic growth that has or may occur during the Obama administration. Because the Obama administration\u2019s doing zilch, zero, nada to cause any economic growth. Now, if they\u2019re going to run out there and blame Bush, if they\u2019re going to say that Bush is responsible for the downside of the economy, he deserves credit for any upside. I mean, for the economy to plummet, it has to have been up there somewhere, right? Who did that? Who put the economy up there for it to fall to these depths? It sure as hell wasn\u2019t Obama, was it? So we gotta credit Bush. I mean if he\u2019s gonna get blamed for this we gotta give him credit for getting it up there. The Big Lie, ladies and gentlemen. The Democrat Party, American liberalism, Barack Obama. <\/p>\n

Gregie in northern Montana, welcome to the program, Gregie.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, Rush, Vice President Hair Plugs was up on the talk shows this morning telling all American taxpayers got a real good deal out of the stimulus package. I got stimuled. First of January my federal income tax withholding went up 1.01%.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I know.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And president teleprompter was telling us during his State of the Union message that only 5% didn\u2019t get a tax cut, 95% of us got a tax cut and the other 5% didn\u2019t get a tax cut and I must be part of the super rich because I got a tax increase.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. What\u2019s your income?<\/p>\n

CALLER: About $950, with change, a month.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So not even $12,000 a year, and you got a tax increase?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Not even $12,000 a year. I got stimuled. Stimul you, stimul me, and stimul us. I wish these guys would go stimul themselves instead of us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Weren\u2019t you a little shocked out there to get stimuled for a tax increase of 1% at less than $12,000 a year? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I don\u2019t know. I wasn\u2019t complaining too much when my pumpkin pies in the local bakery went up double. I didn\u2019t complain too much. What really got my goat was president fat mouth Biden up there telling everybody that they got a good deal out of this stimulus package.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, see that\u2019s the nature of the Big Lie. You tell something —<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — so audacious that nobody could possibly think they\u2019d make it up.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. No. Well, Hitler used to do that. Goebbels was great for that, just tell a bigger lie and bigger lie —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hitler didn\u2019t need Goebbels. Hitler was the architect of all this stuff. Goebbels, he just implemented it all. He didn\u2019t need Bormann. He might have needed Rommel —<\/line><\/line>CALLER: — started it all (crosstalk)<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: — and he might have needed Christoph Waltz, and Hitler might have needed Bormann.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, that\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: But Goebbels made movies out there.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — totalitarians, not anything there — that\u2019s what they want to do is spread the wealth around, but it comes out of my pocket, and your pocket.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There\u2019s no wealth being spread to anybody except unions. And, by the way, that Rodney Dangerfield bit where he\u2019s talking the arrogant professor and he says, (paraphrasing) ‘Well, you gotta pay off the teamsters here if you\u2019re going to use concrete in this building of yours,\u2019 and the smug professor, ‘Mr. Melon, there may be kickbacks and bribes and Mafia payoffs in your world but not in the legitimate world we\u2019re talking about.\u2019 Really? I would say, ladies and gentlemen, that President Obama has mastered the art of union kickbacks, wouldn\u2019t you? The only people making out like bandits during all this are the union people: state, federal, you name it, government union people. The unemployment rate among union people in the government is 3%. I mean that\u2019s statistically zero.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Dave in Vancouver, it\u2019s great to have you here. Thank you so much for waiting. Great to have you on the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How you doing? Mega dittos to you, buddy.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Yeah. I\u2019m a first-time caller and I have only been listening to you for about three or four months, and I\u2019m in your corner.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, three or four months and you\u2019re in my corner, you\u2019ve gone well past the minimum required six weeks to become addicted, so welcome to the EIB Network, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, thank you. These tax breaks that Obama\u2019s been talking about, now, I\u2019m a middle class blue-collar worker. Last year I made a little over a hundred thousand dollars, between me and the wife, and this year we just barely cracked 70. I lost my job, got a new job and all that kind of stuff, and I got a whole whopping $500 back from Uncle Sam in federal taxes on my tax return.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, wait, wait, wait, wait just a minute. That does not mean you got a tax cut.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. No. What it means is I got raked over the coals. I lost $30,000 in annual income and I don\u2019t get anything back from the federal government? What\u2019s going on there? How do you call that a tax break?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, wait a second, now. You didn\u2019t get a tax cut, there\u2019s no question you didn\u2019t get a tax. Nobody got a tax cut. The tax cuts you\u2019re talking about were one-time tax credits, you go out and buy a new muffler was what the original idea was. But you can\u2019t compare when you get $500 back on your tax return. That just means that your withholding was adjusted in such a way that you paid more than you should have. So that $500 refund was you overpaid your taxes, and I\u2019m sure that was due to the fact that you kept the withholding where it was when your income was at a hundred thousand dollars. So you did pay less in taxes but you did not get a rate cut so you didn\u2019t make out, I mean you\u2019re not ahead of the game at all other than the way you did it, you had a $500 lump there that you might otherwise not have had. That was just because you didn\u2019t readjust your withholding to match — because you didn\u2019t know. It sounds like you\u2019re an independent contractor in a lot of ways, your income varies from year to year. But, Dave, it\u2019s great to have you in the audience. Thank you so much. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: To Jimmy, Pascagoula, Mississippi. You\u2019re next on the program, sir. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you very much. Longtime listener. Please indulge me to make my point. If Obama and the Demolition-crats want to truly create jobs, there\u2019s over 250,000 structural steel bridges in the United States that fail at one per week. The bridge in Minneapolis had just been inspected by the process that they used for inspection (which is just visual) up until about a year ago. It had just been inspected one month prior to its collapse up there on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. They could create so many jobs putting people on the infrastructure, working on these bridges. In the United States right now, 250,000 structural steel bridges have fatigue and stress. Most of them were built in the fifties and sixties that trucks weighed a lot less, carried a lot less load, the amount of traffic that went across these bridges was nowhere near the amount of traffic that there is —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — right now going across.<\/p>\n

RUSH: And the kids going across were not nearly as fat which didn\u2019t put as much pressure on these bridges.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Exactly! And now there\u2019s a company out that has an electronic fatigue sensing device that can structurally test these bridges down to one one-hundredth of an inch. I mean, that bridge was visually inspected so all they did was go to most of the stress points, look of them, and say, ‘Hey, it\u2019s okay,\u2019 but what about the fatigue of the fact that those bridges were engineered and designed to only carry traffic. Some bridges, if people truly knew how unsafe they were, they wouldn\u2019t much less drive a 2,000-pound car across it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute, now.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They wouldn\u2019t even walk across it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jimmy, I thought the stimulus bill had fixed all these.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, right. (laughs)<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I mean, that\u2019s what the purpose was, to fund ‘shovel-ready jobs,\u2019 fix the infrastructure. Obama said today it\u2019s been a marvelous success. He said it\u2019s a marvelous success, Jimmy. Are you sure about your facts on this one?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, yeah. I\u2019m very sure because I\u2019m going to tell you what. Not only that, do you see steelworkers and the teamsters and all going to work right now? Do you hear of any large quantities of workers working on these bridges? No, you don\u2019t because no one\u2019s doing it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, it\u2019s an excellent idea. Jimmy, I think these bridges just have to be patient. I think all that work that you\u2019re talking about comes in 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
