RUSH: Here are just a few of the words that have been given new meaning by Obama and other Democrats just in the last few short years. “Marriage,” totally redefined. Taxes. “Taxes” are now “shared responsibility payments.” “Gross domestic product” has been redefined under Obama to include “thoughts.” There\u2019s even a move on to eliminate a statistic reporting gross domestic product.<\/p>\n

You may not have heard about this. It\u2019s relatively new. But some advanced thinkers on the left in the media think that gross domestic product is not a good indication of economic growth, specifically because the gross domestic product under Obama is a disaster. Because there isn\u2019t any economic growth! There is economic contraction or stagnation. So the arbiters of what people are to know, want to get rid of the whole notion of reporting GDP because it “just doesn\u2019t tell the whole story.”<\/p>\n

The fact of the matter is, it does tell the whole story and that\u2019s why they want to get rid of it. The GDP documents the economic failures that are the Obama administration, that are Democrat Party economic policies — failures which have given us 93 million Americans no longer even in the workforce! Millennial college graduates reduced to 29 hours a week with $200,000 college debt. There is no economic growth!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re flooding the market with low-skilled, uneducated people who don\u2019t even speak English in most cases. There is not a single recipe for economic growth taking place and the GDP reflects that, and so they want to get rid of reporting the GDP. “Full-time job” has been redefined to 30 hours a week. “Employed” has taken on a new meaning. You aren\u2019t counted as unemployed after a certain number of weeks, because if we did count you, the unemployment rate would be even worse than it is.<\/line><\/p>\n

“Recession” is no longer two successive negative quarters of GDP, because we can\u2019t have a recession reported under Obama. There isn\u2019t to be any bad economic news. So we redefine “recession” by not even reporting it. “Recovery,” economic recovery has been redefined. There hasn\u2019t been an economic recovery since Obama took office. We have been stagnating. We have been in an economic malaise. We\u2019ve been in the second term of Jimmy Carter.<\/p>\n

There are no advances in wages. There are no advances in disposable income. The haves are getting bigger; the have-nots are getting bigger. With all this push for equality and fairness by the Democrats, the country is becoming more divided, more segregated in every which way you care to count — financially, racially, sexual orientation, traditional values versus new, whatever. There is no unity and there is no equality.<\/p>\n

But those are terms that are being redefined along the way to create the impression that all is well, when it isn\u2019t. There are a host of other words and phrases that no longer mean what they meant. There are a host of words and phrases that now — on their own and by themselves — have become racist, have become sexist, have become bigoted and have become homophobic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
