RUSH: Andrew in Charleston, South Carolina. Great to have you with us, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you so much, Rush. I just wanted to comment: After two years of reported 10% unemployment and sort of unreported 20% unemployment, in my workplace as a physician we\u2019re basically at bare bones. I\u2019m just curious why, at this point, no one is commenting on the fact that there are just normal jobs left to be lost in America? I mean, these numbers that exist are skewed because everyone I know that\u2019s bare bones.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, now, wait a minute. What do you mean when you say that there aren\u2019t any more jobs left to be lost?<\/p>\n

CALLER: In the big picture that they keep reporting these fewer numbers of people being laid off and things like that, and I\u2019m telling you that in my position, if we start firing people at this point, we can\u2019t run our business anymore. So when people report it\u2019s fewer people being laid off, it makes it sound like things are improving.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is where I would, sadly, disagree with you — and not in an argumentative way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No, no, no!<\/p>\n

RUSH: There is an option ahead and that is shutting down your business. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what people have been forced to do! That is why we are in this position. We have maybe… If you\u2019re right, we\u2019ve reached a point where businesses are running bare bones and they can\u2019t survive if they fire any more people, the option still remains to shut down.<\/line>CALLER: (laughing) Well, my patients wouldn\u2019t care for that very much. I\u2019m just saying that the Obama administration uses that to give these optimistic numbers that they\u2019re declining layoffs, when in fact people aren\u2019t laying anybody else off because they just maybe can\u2019t afford to. And I also wanted to say: Great shot out of the sand trap in the Bahamas, man! That was beautiful.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, thank you. You saw that, huh? You know what I wish they would have shown on that show? That shot, that sand shot is one of the hardest in golf — a long sand shot like that deep in the bunker — and there\u2019s a 35-mile-an-hour wind going from my left to right. And immediately after I hit the shot Haney ran into the bunker and grabbed the camera crew and explained what happened, how it happened, what was necessary to make that shot. It would have been very instructive for people to watch it. They just didn\u2019t have the time to put that in, but I\u2019m glad you noticed it, sir. I appreciate that. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
