RUSH: Folks, let me tell you something. Everybody else may be distracted by Elena Kagan, and we\u2019re going to get to her again today, but we\u2019re going to keep our focus on money. It is really getting dangerous out there. Obamanomics essentially has now spread to Europe. What we had yesterday, the bailout of Greece is essentially the European version of TARP. Obama gets on the phone to Angela Merkel and says, ‘You\u2019re going to melt down at the end of the day if you don\u2019t support this.\u2019 I\u2019m telling you, it looks to me like an exact rerun of what happened in this country in 2008 with the TARP bailout and everything else. <\/p>\n

Greetings, folks, great to have you here, as always, El Rushbo at 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program. E-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com. <\/p>\n

One trillion. I told you yesterday, folks, I don\u2019t mean to be an ‘I told you so,\u2019 but if I don\u2019t tell you that I told you, you might not remember that I said it in the first place — and nobody else is going to tell you that I told you. So I have to be the one to tell you that I told you. And I want to tell you I told you again because it\u2019s important that you know it. I said we\u2019re going to have a one-day rally in the stock market, we had it yesterday. Last I checked we\u2019re up plus two, now it\u2019s 31, there\u2019s nerves here across the continent to all these European capitals. Obama got on the phone to Angela Merkel yesterday, pushed her to bail out Greece. Germany and France have put their finances on the line. They may have harmed themselves in doing so. Germany and France may compromise their AAA ratings because of what they\u2019ve done here. That\u2019s the headline. <\/p>\n

So the virus known as Obamanomics is spreading worldwide. This guy is more leftist than the European socialists who got their countries into trouble in the first place are. And as I said yesterday the solution is not financial, a billion, two trillion, not enough here, not enough. What has to change is liberals have to be swept outta power. This is in front of our eyes what happens with unchecked socialism and unchecked liberalism. You have the destruction of societies. The Obama regime is blazing a trail of destruction throughout this country, and now it has spread and gone viral to Europe. The whole house of cards us now teetering with the worst possible president leading the way. Not only is the worst possible president leading the way, the worst possible president is the architect of all it is. <\/p>\n

George Will has a great column on the precarious financial situation Los Angeles is in. Wait \u2019til you hear this. And once again, it\u2019s a financial story, but the root of this is politics. I want to remind you again, I told you yesterday, if I don\u2019t tell you I told you nobody else is going to say I told you. All the would-be powers, look at Greece, you\u2019re going to have to privatize your health care, you\u2019re going to have to privatize your energy sector, and you\u2019re going to have privatize transportation, and you\u2019re going to have to make it easier to lay off government workers. This is where we\u2019re headed. They are where we are going, four to five years from now. If we\u2019re lucky it will be four to five years. And then somebody\u2019s going to have to come in here and clean up this mess and try to roll back some of this stuff and it\u2019s going to be crucial that that happen. <\/p>\n

Now, to show how perverse Obama is, I had a story here, the Democrats are launching another two to three hundred billion dollars in spending before the election because they know what\u2019s going to happen to them in November, they\u2019re going to try to get cap and trade, controls over the economy — he wants to strip power from members of Congress. He wants to be able essentially to line out budget items that he doesn\u2019t want to pay for. Think of it as line-item veto without it being called that. He\u2019s asking for Congress to give him more power. Members of the Democrat Party are not happy because he\u2019s trashing them because they are Washington, and Obama now is in campaign mode trying to set himself up as an outsider, saying Washington is out of control when he is the architect of this downward spiral. Now, Obama is totally delusional. But that\u2019s not the half of it. Leftist ideologues are always delusional. That\u2019s how they are able to ignore all the facts and knowledge around them. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

We asked this yesterday on this program, we ask it constantly: ‘How can they not see what they are causing?\u2019 They are delusional. Their delusions allow them to ignore the facts and knowledge all around them. That\u2019s how they\u2019re able to deny any responsibility for it. Everything is the fault of everybody else. What they are doing, as they destroy things in their delusional mind, is fixing it. They keep trying the same failed policies over and over again because they are delusional. Now, I wish that all it was was that Obama is delusional. To be a leftist, you have to be delusional. To be power hungry, you have to be delusional. But Barack Obama appreciates nothing that has come before. In fact, he resents it. He resents what has come before and dismisses it. Well, it\u2019s a precarious situation that we find ourselves in. The euro again is falling against the dollar. It was all afternoon yesterday. It\u2019s trickling down today. This bailout of Greece yesterday is the European Union version of the TARP plan. <\/p>\n

You remember how urgent it was that we come up with $700 billion, we gotta save the financial system, it\u2019s going to crash, the world\u2019s financial system is going to crash. They told Bush, Hank Paulson went in there, ‘We gotta do this! The world financial system is going to crash! It\u2019s got to be passed by this Friday or the US financial system is going to come to an end.\u2019 That\u2019s what happened yesterday, Obama gets on the phone, tells Merkel the whole European Union is going to crash down around you, you gotta do what we did. So Merkel, who doesn\u2019t particularly like Obama, realizes who the head honcho in all this is, so we\u2019ve got the European Union version of this and history will repeat itself right before our eyes and as it does the delusional left will blame all of their predecessors for it, ignore the facts right in front of them and continue the same recipe that will lead to massive destruction while blaming everybody else for this. One trillion wasn\u2019t enough. Two trillion is not enough. Why? Because it doesn\u2019t bring about any fundamental change, it doesn\u2019t bring about any systematic or structural change. The problems exist. They remain. <\/p>\n

Without structural change all the bailouts in the world are not going to matter. Same thing here and the problem is liberalism. It\u2019s not a phony financial system, it\u2019s not irresponsible this or irresponsible that. We got a lot of parties that are culpable here. You have a leech society in Greece. You have a political class that wants to service the leeches so they continue to be reelected. What is that? It\u2019s liberalism. Socialism, statism, whatever it is you wish to call it. Whatever it is, it\u2019s not complicated. We are witnessing the legitimate implosion of socialism everywhere. From New York, to Los Angeles, to California, to Detroit, Michigan, we saw it in New Orleans. We\u2019re seeing it in Greece. On deck, Spain and Portugal, Germany and France, perpetual unemployment rates, ten to 14%, considered normal. It sounds too simple to be the explanation, but it is what it is. Liberalism is the problem. Political ideology led to the precarious financial circumstances in which these nations, and now we, find ourselves. The liberals fighting themselves, but they can\u2019t stop this with their own policies. And they can\u2019t stop this with never-ending spending. And they can\u2019t stop this with bailouts because the structural problems that have caused all of this are not addressed. <\/p>\n

Government greed — not private sector greed, government greed, I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s in France, Germany, Greece, United States, Washington, government greed — is doing this. A New York Times story today: It was Obama who urged Merkel to push this trillion-dollar bailout. This guy is going to destroy everything he encounters. You add that to the fact that he\u2019s obviously delusional and his resentment for everything that\u2019s come before him. We\u2019re on a precarious slope here. New York Times even: ‘A Trillion for Europe, With Doubts Attached.\u2019 Try this now: ‘White House task force seeks controls on food marketing to kids.\u2019 Michelle Obama has to have something to do so there\u2019s a big push now, big study on the effect of taxes on unhealthy food. So we\u2019re now going to take over marketing of food. The White House is gonna try to take over marketing of food products. They want control over it, ostensibly to help your child, keep your child from becoming a fat slob. They\u2019re going to serve your kid dinner at school now because the SEIU wants to hire more kitchen workers. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re not stopping, I don\u2019t care what day you wake up, it is another assault on liberty, freedom, capitalism, what have you, this ongoing march to control as much of American life as possible. Yeah, this report warns of a national health crisis, calls for controls on marketing. And this summer as we head into the last gasp the Democrats have to get something done before November, is going to ratchet it up by five times what we see now. Money. I\u2019m not distracted by Elena Kagan. She is what she is. (interruption) Well, depends on what side of the dollar you\u2019re on if you want a strong dollar or weak dollar, depends on whether you want big exports or big imports. Depends on whether you\u2019re shorting the dollar, if you\u2019re betting the dollar to lose ground, you don\u2019t want a strong dollar. But the bottom line, Snerdley, whatever side of the dollar you\u2019re on, you want it to be worth something, and right now the euro — that never had a chance. <\/p>\n

They tried to duplicate the United States with a single currency but there still is the British pound, there still is the French franc. We are the United States. They are the European Union. They are a bunch of nations trying to unify around a single currency and the nations don\u2019t trust each other. This never had a chance, but it was all done because a bunch of liberals and a bunch of socialists wanted more and more control and more power, and the United Nations has added more scare tactics about global warming, our last chance to save the planet is coming up. More power is needed to do this. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Actually, folks, what happened in Europe yesterday is worse than TARP. TARP, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, was us borrowing for us. The EU version of TARP is us borrowing for them. And it\u2019s important to point out here that this trillion dollars has not been approved yet. It needs to be voted on by every country. That is why the Fed opened its borrow window yesterday so that the United States Federal Reserve can bail \u2019em out now. We\u2019re doing it. It\u2019s just an absolute mess. You know, the libs will always tell us where they\u2019re going if we will just listen. On April 14th of 2009, a year ago, Obama gave a speech entitled, ‘The New Foundation Economics Speech,\u2019 April 14th, one day before tax day. It was a long-winded bag of promises, hope, and verbal swagger. We can reflect on what this… <\/p>\n

Oh, there\u2019s a picture of Kagan up there. Get this: Socialism is collapsing right before our very eyes, and we are on the verge of confirming somebody to the court who has written mostly on the dangers of the collapse of socialism and how we need to revive it. That\u2019s exactly what I just said: We are witnessing the collapse of socialism just as we\u2019re about to confirm a justice to the United States Supreme Court who wrote a senior thesis at Princeton bemoaning the decline of socialism. That\u2019s the most writing she\u2019s ever done. Some of the oral arguments Ed Morrissey\u2019s done a good job at digging out at Hot Air. He\u2019s dug out some of the oral arguments of Elena Kagan as solicitor general, and Scalia and Anthony Kennedy do not have the slightest idea what she\u2019s talking about about this Citizens United case and the campaign spending by corporations. <\/p>\n

I mean, they\u2019re touting that she\u2019s going to be the one to be able to change Scalia\u2019s mind, that she\u2019s that persuasive, that she\u2019s a consensus builder. She\u2019s not a consensus builder. She\u2019s a coalition builder is what she is. She\u2019s nothing of what they\u2019re saying. She\u2019s not got the brains that they\u2019re saying. Nothing. Now, the Republicans… She\u2019s gonna get confirmed. I think the point of this confirmation here, what this ought to do (far be it from me, the leader of the party, to advise our elected leaders what to do) is they ought to string these hearings out for as long as they can to get this woman to open up about everything she believes because she is Obama. She has been nominated as his mirror image. That\u2019s why she\u2019s there. She is there to enact his agenda at the Supreme Court. Pure and simple. It doesn\u2019t matter. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s her sole qualification is that she is Obama. They go way back. They go back to Chicago. It\u2019s a long time they\u2019ve been buds. So drag these hearings out. This woman is worried about her senior thesis bemoaning the decline of socialism? Let\u2019s hear it. Let\u2019s get the Republicans on the case. Tell us — since we gotta find out what\u2019s in her mind, that\u2019s the purpose here — what was wrong with the decline of socialism? Explain your thesis while we\u2019re looking at Greece, while we\u2019re looking at California. Did you hear Schwarzenegger told a joke? He\u2019s afraid to go to Arizona, he\u2019ll be deported. He\u2019ll be picked up by the cops and asked for his papers. All that coming up. Anyway, this speech of Obama\u2019s April 14th, you go back and look at this. <\/p>\n

Time has proven his reasoning to be fraud and delusional, his projections wrong, his Keynesian philosophy a failure, and still he pushes it on panic-stricken leaders around the world. Here, give you some excerpts: ”We cannot rebuild this economy on the same pile of sand,\u2019 he said, invoking a Biblical reference to Jesus\u2019 Sermon on the Mount. ‘We must build our house upon a rock. We must lay a new foundation for growth and prosperity a foundation that will move us from an era of borrow and spend to one where we save and invest, where we consume less at home and send more exports abroad.” Consume less at home? Why consume less at home? That\u2019s prosperity? And what is this new foundation? The new foundation is government prosperity.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Again, the left will always tell us where they\u2019re going if we will just listen. More from Obama\u2019s New Foundation economic speech April 14th, 2009. ‘And most of all,\u2019 he said ‘I want every American to know that each action we take and each policy we pursue is driven by a larger vision of America\u2019s future — a future where sustained economic growth creates good jobs and rising incomes; a future where prosperity is fueled not by excessive debt, reckless speculation, and fleeing profit, but is instead built by skilled, productive workers; by sound investments that will spread opportunity at home and allow this nation to lead the world in the technologies, innovations, and discoveries that will shape the 21st century. <\/p>\n

‘That is the America I see. That is the future I know we can have.\u2019 Prosperity fueled not by excessive debt, reckless speculation, and fleeing profit, but instead built by skilled, productive workers? Sustained growth? We don\u2019t have any growth. We have sustained deficits. There are no jobs. Two stories today… By the way, if you are a parent and you are excited about being able to enroll your kids in your health care policy up to age 26 and they\u2019re getting out of college now, guess what? It ain\u2019t going to be free! It\u2019s gonna cost you. They\u2019re running the numbers. It\u2019s gonna cost big bucks. Oh, yeah. Sustained deficits. Obama\u2019s new foundation is delusional. It is being built upon reckless speculation! His new foundation has about as much as chance of surviving as that oil rig did out in the Gulf of Mexico. <\/p>\n

Then he said this: ‘Now, some have argued that this recovery plan is a case of irresponsible government spending; that it is somehow to blame for our long-term deficit projections, and that the federal government should be cutting instead of increasing spending right now. So let me tackle this argument head on. To begin with, economists on both the left and right agree that the last thing a government should do in the middle of a recession is to cut back on spending.\u2019 There\u2019s this straw man again. (doing Obama impression) Everybody agrees with me! Economists on the left and the right all agree with me: Keep spending! He says, ‘You see, when this recession began, many families sat around their kitchen table and tried to figure out where they could cut back.\u2019 How many families do you think sit around their kitchen table anymore and do anything together? <\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t happen, and they certainly don\u2019t sit around the kitchen table and figure out how they can cut back. That\u2019s an old, worn-out axiom from the fifties and the sixties. Don\u2019t get me wrong, people try to figure out how to economize, but they don\u2019t grab wife and husband and 2.8 kids and family dog and sit around the table with all their bills, ‘We\u2019re going to cut back here, we\u2019re gonna cut back there. I\u2019m going to cut back your cell phone use.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t happen. But, anyway, that\u2019s a minor point. He says all these families sit around the kitchen table and try to figure out where they could cut back. You know, families don\u2019t even eat at the kitchen table together anymore. I keep distracting myself, but worry not: I\u2019m not losing my place. ‘So do many businesses\u2019 do the same thing, Obama said. They sit around the kitchen table and figure out where to cut back.<\/p>\n

‘That is a completely responsible and understandable reaction. But if every family in America cuts back, then no one is spending any money, which means there are more layoffs, and the economy gets even worse. That\u2019s why the government has to step in and temporarily boost spending in order to stimulate demand. And that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re doing right now.\u2019 Demand for what? We\u2019re not stimulating any growth whatsoever. Nobody\u2019s spending any money, Obama, because they don\u2019t have any! Combined with taxes, no jobs, no economic growth, other than in the government sector — and we see how stimulative all this spending has been. We really see it, don\u2019t we? I mean, if they\u2019re going to claim that the recent job increases are the result of Porkulus, these are the most expensive jobs we\u2019ve ever created in the history of the country.<\/p>\n

Now, remember, he said that we need to ‘consume less at home.\u2019 Here he\u2019s saying that\u2019s bad. When American families don\u2019t spend any money, the economy comes to a screeching halt. Yet earlier in the speech, he says we all gotta consume less — and then he puts his faith in more reckless spending to cure reckless spending. They\u2019ll always tell us where they\u2019re going. ‘Second of all,\u2019 he said, ‘I absolutely agree that our long-term deficit is a major problem that we have to fix. But the fact is that this recovery plan represents only a tiny fraction of that long-term deficit. As I will discuss in a moment, the key to dealing with our deficit and debt is to get a handle on out-of-control health care costs — not to stand idly by as the economy goes into free fall.\u2019 Okay. So he got health care. Nails in the coffin. It\u2019s going to do the exact opposite. It\u2019s going to cost all kinds of more money; it\u2019s going to increase spending. They\u2019ll tell us where they\u2019re going every time. <\/p>\n

Remember this story? This is January 12th, 2009, my birthday. ‘Bush Agrees to Ask for Financial Bailout Funds — President-elect Barack Obama asked President George W. Bush on Monday to seek another $350 billion to bail out the financial sector,\u2019 this on the top of the $700 billion of TARP, ‘so that Obama can have the money at his disposal promptly after taking office. Bush agreed to notify Congress, the White House said. Congress has 15 days to reject the request, but efforts were afoot to have the money available for Obama much sooner. The request would give Obama, who takes office Jan. 20, not only the opportunity to get quick access to the money, but also to change the program\u2019s goals and conditions.\u2019 So it was all set up. It was a slush fund, as was the stimulus bill. <\/p>\n

‘Democrats Poised to Move Measures with High Price Tags.\u2019 This is today, from The Hill. ‘Congress faces a crush of votes on big-ticket items before the Memorial Day recess, setting up a debate on deficits less than six months before the November elections. Democratic leaders are looking in the next three weeks to send President Barack Obama a slew of measures that cost more than $200 billion, including a multi-year extension of unemployment benefits, an extension of expiring tax provisions and Medicare doctor payments [the ‘doc fix\u2019] totaling $180 billion and a $33 billion Afghanistan war supplemental bill. Because most of those costs won\u2019t be paid for…\u2019 We don\u2019t have the money, folks! ‘Because most of those costs won\u2019t be paid for, Republicans plan to use those bills and the Democrats\u2019 budget blueprint to highlight massive deficits ahead of the congressional midterm election. <\/p>\n

‘Republicans have recently been pointing to Greece\u2019s dismal fiscal situation as a warning, claiming that the US will be headed for a similar fate unless the deficits are curtailed,\u2019 and then taking over the marketing of food items under the auspices here of preventing child obesity, serving dinner in schools because the Service Employees International Union has that as a goal on their website: The STOP Obesity Alliance. This is where the dinner at the schools idea comes from. From the New York Times: ‘Debt Aid Package for Europe Took Nudge From Washington\u2019 Obama pushed the TARP and pushed Porkulus, and he pushed the Greek aid package. This is what his presidency is about: Giving trillions of dollars to socialists everywhere and setting even bigger debt bombs to explode down the line. His infusion of cash to public sector cronies has not produced any jobs here at home. Now we face these massive deficits — and, of course, higher taxes, which will put downward pressure on tax revenues, this is guaranteeing the continuation of the death spiral of taxes and debt, and it\u2019s all because of liberalism. It is all because of socialism. It is all because of the delusional left who either think they\u2019re doing what\u2019s right and are deluding themselves, or who know they\u2019re not doing what\u2019s right, but they have such a dislike for certain aspects of this country that they want to take care of it and fix what they\u2019ve always thought has been wrong and bad about the country.<\/p>\n
