RUSH: From CNNMoney.com: ‘The number of Americans fighting off hunger stayed level last year –‘ have you seen that out there? Have you seen people fighting off hunger? I see it all the time. I drive around and — I do drive, I do drive myself — and sometimes I look out the window and a lot of people are waving at me as I go by. Have you seen people fighting off hunger? I mean you can actually see it. You go inside Publix or any grocery store, you can see \u2019em walking down the aisles, they\u2019re reaching for something and then they don\u2019t. It\u2019s an amazing thing to watch, people fighting off hunger. ‘U.S. Hunger Remains at Highest Levels in 15 Years.\u2019 I think one of the reasons — look at Richard Blumenthal, the guy\u2019s gotta be hungry. He never eats. If Blumenthal would just swallow, maybe our hunger deficit would drop somewhat. <\/p>\n

I interrupted myself at the first sentence of this. ‘The number of Americans fighting off hunger stayed level last year, though food insecurity –‘ Not to be confused with food justice ‘– food insecurity rates remain the highest they have been since the federal government began keeping track 15 years ago. About 14.7 percent of U.S. households were ‘food insecure\u2019 in 2009.\u2019 Well, it\u2019s not the food that\u2019s insecure. It\u2019s the people in the houses that are insecure about food. ‘About 14.7 percent of U.S. households were ‘food insecure\u2019 in 2009, meaning they had difficulty feeding one or more of their members.\u2019 Whose member? Whose member eats? The way this is written, my friends, it\u2019s stunning here. Let me try this again. I\u2019m just reading this for the first time, so bear with me. ‘About 14.7 percent of U.S. households were ‘food insecure\u2019 in 2009, meaning they had difficulty feeding one or more of their members at some point last year due to a lack of financial resources, according to the report. That equates to 17.4 million households total, or roughly 45 million people.<\/p>\n

‘Households headed by single parents were more likely to struggle with food insecurity than those with two parents at home.\u2019 I wonder why that is. ‘Hunger-related issues were more prevalent among African-American and Hispanic households than white ones.\u2019 Well, of course, food is racist. We know that. ‘Most of those classified as ‘food insecure\u2019 reported getting benefits from the federal government\u2019s three main anti-hunger initiatives,\u2019 which apparently are utter failures. If we have three main anti-hunger initiatives to deal with food insecurity, and there\u2019s still 45 million households or people not feeding their members because of food insecurity, you\u2019d have to say that the three government programs are failures, much like the Obama administration. Do you realize, folks, if Obama had just listened to me, he would not be a failure? If he had just taken me up on my op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on my way to stimulate the economy, if he had just listened to me none of what we\u2019re going through now would we be going through. <\/p>\n

Did you notice Obama came home? I was stunned. He actually came home from Asia. He\u2019s going back over to Europe. He\u2019s just passing through America, probably needed some clean underwear, one of the reasons why he came home. He\u2019s heading back over to Europe now to deal with whatever economic strife he\u2019s causing there. They are in bad shape, folks, Europe is. I\u2019m not finished with the food insecurity story, either. Europe is scrambling now to deal with Greece, Ireland, and Portugal. It\u2019s worse than they told us about Greece, the deficit, the debt situation there is worse than they told us. Ireland\u2019s on the brink. Portugal and Spain are nearing economic collapse. They have all spent themselves into bankruptcy. They have all followed liberalism off the economic cliff. China, the ChiComs are fighting inflation. The ChiComs may impose price controls. The world economy is weakening. Nobody knows where this is headed. There were warning signs everywhere, but our president, lame-duck Democrats, are not taking steps to deal with this looming economic storm. <\/p>\n

Now, the markets, the ChiCom markets have tanked three days in a row. By the way, food insecurity in China, you don\u2019t even want to go there. I mean it\u2019s a major problem in China. It\u2019s not reported, but I mean lots of food insecurity. And Haiti, I mean, folks, if you want to talk about food insecurity, plus cholera, first cholera outbreak in 40 years and what\u2019s different? The UN finally went in there so the UN caused the cholera outbreak in Haiti. Food insecurity, no food justice anywhere, China or Haiti. Now the ChiCom markets have tanked three days in a row. We\u2019re now below 11,000 in the Dow Jones Industrial Average as we speak. The ChiComs are tightening over there which means that they are fighting inflation. That has caused or started the global effects, ripples from what the Chinese are doing being seen now. The ChiComs even that said they are looking at buying less USA Treasuries. And so now Europe is in the midst of coming apart over Greece, Ireland, and Portugal. Austria refused to send the bailout payment to Greece today. They said no way. You\u2019re on your own. It\u2019s got its own problems anyway. <\/p>\n

So far, QE2 has been a negative, has had the absolute reverse effect. The dollar is way up, the market is way down, interest rates on bonds are climbing, the yields is climbing, the exact opposite of what they all thought was gonna happen is happening. It\u2019s an absolute mess. And Obama is gonna stop in and visit America for a couple days between his vacation homes in Asia and in Europe. Now, we ought to be taking steps to strengthen our economy, and if Obama had listened to me, or any other economic conservative — but of course no other economic conservative had the guts to disagree with Obama at the outset except for yours truly. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The dirty little secret is the supplemental nutritional assistance program, the national school lunch program, and the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants and children better known as WIC, are all failing. Those three federal anti-hunger initiatives have not cured food insecurity. ‘In a press release, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that 18.7 percent more people had participated in the former program in 2009 over 2008. Rates also rose for the ‘free lunch\u2019 program (up 5.4 percent) and WIC (up 5.8 percent),\u2019 and still food insecurity, which, again, is defined as households having difficulty feeding one or more of their members. Have you ever been hungry? Well, I know, but everybody gets hungry, right? That\u2019s why people eat. How do you even calculate hunger, US hunger? I mean hunger, at some points, is a hundred percent. Virtually everybody on a diet is hungry, which is the point. Everybody on a diet goes to bed hungry, gets up hungry and spends the whole day hungry and is ticked off about it. You talk about food insecurity, a person on a diet goes to the drugstore, grocery store, and see\u2019s 99% of what he or she can\u2019t have. You want to talk depression? I mean look at it. <\/p>\n

Now, we can\u2019t have it both ways. We are either morbidly obese, fat slobs needing the attention of the First Lady Michelle (My Belle) Obama, or we are a hungry nation with food insecurity. Which is it? To say that there is hunger in America insults the starving people in this world, and there are people starving. Here we go belly-aching and whining and moaning about food insecurity. I\u2019m beginning to think that food insecurity is what causes obesity. There can be no other explanation. If you\u2019re food insecure, what do you do? You eat. If you eat too much to deal with your food insecurity then you get obese. Food insecurity is probably the leading cause of morbid obesity. Another thing, this study says that single-parent homes are more hungry than two-parent homes. Okay, so is that the real cause of this? Sure a damn good one to look into, but they never address that problem. Why are there so many one parent households? ‘Well, it\u2019s just the way it is, Mr. Limbaugh. It\u2019s just the way it is. You have to learn to accept society as it is caused by years and years and years of Reagan economics, Mr. Limbaugh.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Okay, that\u2019s the way you look at it. So it seems to me the solution is not to help people that have two-parent homes. It\u2019s to give the single ones more of our money, is that the solution here? More food programs, which this is encourages single-parent homes. If you are a single parent home you get more food goodies from the government than a two-parent home. The Feds, the ruling elites, the food ruling elites to boot never address the real reason why these things happen because it points to their failures. Why do we have single parenthood? Well, one is called abortion, it\u2019s called welfare programs, it\u2019s called the federal government\u2019s taken over the role of being father and husband. <\/p>\n

RUSH: To Washington, DC, Melissa, nice to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It is nice to finally talk to you. How are you?<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Great. Listen, I just wanted to go back to one of the things that you mentioned earlier in the show today about children coming from single-parent homes who have food insecurities. I myself am a single mom, and, you know, I made the decision five years ago, and obviously I had my son, never thought of anything else, and ironically I named him Ben because the Steelers won the Super Bowl that year, so we\u2019re Steeler fans.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What a day this is, incredible.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. So he lives up to his name. He\u2019s a good Ben, though, but I know a lot of people I guess may have this perception that all single parents are kind of like the welfare moms who take advantage of the government and those sorts of things, and my son is absolutely healthy and fine and thriving and, you know, I —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You shouldn\u2019t take this personally. The survey didn\u2019t say that every single parent household has food insecurity. It said that of the households where there is food insecurity, the largest percentage are in single parent families.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It didn\u2019t say that every single parent family deals with food insecurity.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. Well, I also think that education goes along with that factor, too, because personally I have seen people use food stamps and other government means of I guess money to purchase food for their —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I mean that\u2019s another thing. Food stamps, the whole notion of food insecurity in this country is a bit far-fetched. To try to imply here there\u2019s starvation —<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — in this country and that government programs haven\u2019t — there\u2019s food stamps plus three other government food providing programs, it\u2019s a silly notion. Food insecurity, food justice, it\u2019s ridiculous.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right. I just think a lot of people do take advantage of it and they just spend it on frivolous things and that\u2019s why children are not thriving. They\u2019re feeling those food insecurities because the parents aren\u2019t really doing anything much about it. They\u2019re not teaching them what to do, what needs to be done, so that was my whole point.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: My whole point is the more the government does this stuff, the more the government takes over the role of a parent or parents then the less self-sufficiency, the less self-reliability that there is and there\u2019s no reason for parents to be parents. And the problem with this is it\u2019s dehumanizing, and this is an objective of the Democrat Party. This situation exists precisely because this is how the Democrat Party derives its power, creating this kind of dependency, creating this kind of dumbed-down irresponsibility. ‘The government will take care of it, the government will do this. I got my benefits coming. I know what I\u2019m entitled to,\u2019 this kind of thing. It really bums me out. If I see the wrong thing at the right time I\u2019ll hit a tipping point, it could ruin my whole day. <\/p>\n

This stuff really, really bugs me, this whole notion of an entitlement society, the benefits here, because it is destroying people. You know, we conservatives love everybody, we love people. We want the best for everybody. And one of the reasons we\u2019re so opposed to big government is that government deprives people of their humanity and their dreams and their opportunities under the guise of taking care of them. It\u2019s one of the biggest swindles to come down the pike, liberalism, Democrat Party and all this. So I can understand you want to stand up for yourself as a single parent, you don\u2019t want to identify with the others. I\u2019m frankly happy that you wanted to call here and differentiate yourself from that bunch. Keep it up. You\u2019re sadly, somewhat unique. But don\u2019t change. I\u2019m glad you called. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Tom, Seattle, great that you held on, nice to have you on the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush. I\u2019m really honored to speak with you.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Hey, I wanted to get back to your hunger issue that you were speaking about earlier.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Food insecurity, yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah, tell you about a couple things I noticed locally here. I live about 20 miles south of Seattle, and my kids go to public school, and a few times a year we get harassed by the school, they keep sending us home trying to urge you to get on free lunches. I guess the statistics in my child\u2019s school are close to 70% of the kids are on a free or reduced lunch program, and I can tell you that there\u2019s no way that they all need it. Their parents apply for it and they get it just because it saves them from having to feed their own kid.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: I go to the grocery store and here in Washington they replace food stamps, they started giving them EBT cards and its like a debit card and it\u2019s to reduce the stigma of using food stamps in the line.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Others in line can\u2019t tell you\u2019re using food stamps.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I have a debit card, too, but it debits my own account, not Washington\u2019s.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, sure. But about the beginning of the month, shortly before they give the cards out, when I go to the grocery store I get accosted when I\u2019m going in the store and going out of the store by people standing outside trying to sell me their EBT cards for a reduced price. They obviously don\u2019t need the food. They\u2019re just trying to get the money. So I mean this happens to me regularly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Have you ever bought somebody\u2019s EBT card?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have never bought anybody\u2019s EBT card, no.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What\u2019s the average price that they ask you for them?<\/p>\n

CALLER: You know, I don\u2019t know. They usually just say, ‘Hey, I got EBT cards for sale,\u2019 and I just say, ‘No thanks,\u2019 and keep walking. You know, I don\u2019t even stop and talk to them. But I mean this is a constant thing. Every month you can always find them outside the grocery store and their EBT cards are for sale. Washington is an extremely blue state.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So I\u2019m very much in the minority here. You know, my wife and I, we try really hard to support ourselves. You know, we got kind of caught up in the whole housing market crisis, we bought our house at the peak back in 2006, and I\u2019m currently probably about $60,000 upside down on my mortgage —<\/p>\n

RUSH: So you have house insecurity but not food insecurity?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, no, that\u2019s the other thing. I recently quit work to go back to school to try to get my degree in Web application development and some programming. I\u2019m trying to provide a better future for my family —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — above what I could before. We made it so that we could pay our bills barely. I mean we\u2019re sacrificing a lot for me to spend two years to go back to school. We\u2019re mainly trying to live off of my wife\u2019s income. We have a financial deficit every month. Every month it is stressful just trying to find the money to pay the bills. You know, I mean I could probably go down and apply for a bunch of state programs and I\u2019d probably qualify for a majority of them, but I don\u2019t. We\u2019re very proud people. We try to support ourselves. And I just don\u2019t like the idea of going out and taking a handout from the state. I mean, I\u2019m partially supplementing my income with student loans, you know, my left-over from student loans —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — I\u2019m gonna have to pay all that back with interest.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, good for you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: We have some help from family, but not much and I won\u2019t take any state handouts.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, it\u2019s still good that you\u2019re not running around looking for benefits. But good for you, sir. I applaud you, I appreciate the call. Thanks very much. This reminds me, you know, last week, a couple days I was really over the edge. I saw the rioting, the longhaired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking FM types in the UK rioting over the fact that their college tuition was going up some, they were gonna have to pay for their own education. You know, it sent me over the edge for two days. I was just, as many of you remember, fit to be tied. I remember getting e-mails, a lot of them. ‘Rush, why do you care?\u2019 All these e-mails, ‘Why do you care about this? You could retire today. I mean, you don\u2019t have any financial concerns at all.\u2019 These people think that I have whatever and that I don\u2019t have to worry about things, so why do I care about it? <\/p>\n

And it\u2019s very simple. I care about it because I care about the country. None of this stuff is just about me. If I were so inwardly focused and self-focused, yeah, I wouldn\u2019t have a concern in the world. Yeah, go ahead and tax everybody, and go ahead and give it away. I got mine. I can live behind the gate, the hell with the rest of it, I can go ahead and live my life \u2019til I die and not have a single care in the world. I could do that, but I would be miserable. This stuff, it eats away at me because it\u2019s a country that we\u2019re talking about here. Every person that we create, or every person that we make a dependent, member of the dependent class, the tougher it\u2019s going to be for the country to survive as we\u2019ve known it. And that matters to me. Plus, I love people and I would love for everybody to have the chance to enjoy the great things this country provides as I have, and I see that opportunity flittering away for many people not for any reason other than politicians and government people are taking it away by robbing people of their humanity, by making them dependent, by telling them that their lot in life is benefits, their share of whatever government\u2019s giving away that year. It really offends me, really offends my sensibilities. It bothers me to see people reduced to that degree of having no consequence to their lives. <\/p>\n

We only get one life, and it is such a blessing to have that life be an American life. And to have it frittered away for that opportunity to not be promoted, for people to reach for it and access it really does tear at my heart. I can\u2019t explain it any other way. But, yeah, it would be easy for me to say, ‘I don\u2019t care, ah, country is going to hell, I got mine, fine, I\u2019ll sit around and watch while you all destroy yourself.\u2019 I couldn\u2019t live with myself if I did that. It bothers me to no end. It bothers me when I see people with potential sitting around not using it. And then I learn if they happen to be politically liberal, it grates on me, it\u2019s so unnecessary. I look at all of the wasted opportunity and all of the wasted production and productivity that we have in this country because of the way people are being programmed, I think of how great the country could be, and then I hear a president going overseas happy about this decline and happily telling the people of the world that the American people are never gonna lead the world economy again, that we realize we\u2019re never gonna — that\u2019s just bohunk to me, and it infuriates me. <\/p>\n

So that\u2019s why this stuff makes me mad. It\u2019s not that I have an animus against these people. In some cases it really isn\u2019t their fault. They\u2019ve been born into this mentality. Their parents had it, their parents were Democrats, their grandparents are Democrats, they voted Democrat all their lives, and they believe that life is inherently unfair because there are Republicans. And so to get even, the government has to give people stuff. And any time you start depending on anybody else but yourself for your needs and then your wants, your goose is cooked because there\u2019s nobody that\u2019s gonna care about you as much as you do, no matter what you think. I don\u2019t care what you think of Ted Kennedy or John Kennedy or pick your favorite liberal, they don\u2019t love you anywhere near as much as you can love yourself. They don\u2019t love you, period. You\u2019re an asset to them. You\u2019re a profit and loss sheet. You\u2019re a registered voter to them, pure and simple. They actually hold you in contempt. <\/p>\n

The less you need them, the more independent and self-reliant you become, the bigger threat to them you become, which is the exact opposite. You think about the best teachers that you ever had in your life, probably the ones you didn\u2019t like, but those were the ones that got more out of you than you knew you had. You only realized this long after you were out of that classroom and in some cases out of school. And there\u2019s not a liberal that anybody\u2019s gonna ever say that about. Liberals do not want to get the best out of you because they don\u2019t believe it exists. We\u2019re all flawed human beings, and the best in humanity is running the country, them. The fact that you\u2019re not in the club translates to them that you\u2019re incompetent and incapable, and you are to be managed, propagandized so that every four years or every two years you vote the right way. The more of you that show up at the Social Security office, the better. The more of you that show up for the latest government handout, the better, as far as they\u2019re concerned. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s like that circumstance in Detroit where thousands and thousands of poor people showed up for the opportunity to get a very small amount of vouchers that would allow access to some affordable rent, and I remember telling you that if I were president of the country and that was happening during my presidency, I would be humiliated, I would be embarrassed, and I would want to do something about it. And Obama and the liberals look at that, that\u2019s a measure of success, how many people depending on them, how many people believe the country is inherently unfair and will look to the Democrat Party to get even with the people who are responsible for it being unfair, and it\u2019s the exact opposite, the truth is. So that\u2019s why I care about it. ‘Cause I hate seeing opportunity missed. I hate seeing it destroyed, in this country especially. <\/p>\n

And then you look around at the people around the world who come here because they are escaping that kind of tyranny or bondage. They understand what this country is all about, even today. It ought to wake people up. But, no, the people we want to let in are not those kinds. The people we want to let in are going to get the Democrat Party bigger and fatter and so forth. I just hate it when people are used. I guess it\u2019s no more complicated than that and to me the Democrat Party, the American left uses people until they\u2019re finished with them, never caring about them at any stage of the process. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m calling regarding what you were talking about this morning of hunger and food and shortages and the prices rising. Think back just a few months ago up in the San Joaquin Valley when they were begging for water for their crops, and neither Feinstein nor Boxer nor my congressman, Lucille Roybal-Allard, did one thing to help them get water for their crops. They died, thousands lost their jobs. They chose, rather, to pitch in with the environmentalists and save the salamander.<\/line> <\/line>RUSH: That\u2019s right.
