\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: John in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Thank you for waiting. Great to have you on the program. Hello, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hooah, Rush. I tell you what, man. What a joy to hear you interact with those precious children.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Isn\u2019t it, though? I appreciate your mentioning that.<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s what the country is all about.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Imagine how that scares Planned Parenthood, John?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, gosh. It\u2019s such an honor to speak to a true American such as yourself. And, you know, I\u2019m gonna be brief, but couple of questions for you. Why do the Republicans continue to raise the debt ceiling? What do they expect to come out of that?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: They raise the debt ceiling because they\u2019re trying to trap the Democrats. They\u2019ll let \u2019em have the debt ceiling, but they\u2019re gonna come back and they\u2019ll really oppose them on the budget.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I\u2019m a small business owner, and I listened to this guy and I took an extended lunch \u2019cause I wanted to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know what the question is, John? Do you know what the question you\u2019re really getting at is? “Why is there a debt ceiling?” Why is there one, when it gets blown every time it\u2019s up? Why do we even have a debt ceiling? The debt ceiling doesn\u2019t stand for anything.<\/p>\n

CALLER: What would happen if they didn\u2019t raise the debt ceiling?<\/p>\n

RUSH: What would happen is the beginning of some fiscal sense, but they would tell you it\u2019s the end of the world. They would tell you it\u2019s the end of Washington. They would tell you we can\u2019t get by unless we expand. They would tell you we can\u2019t pay our bills and that we would lose our credit rating and all that. Don\u2019t you wish you could raise your debt ceiling any time you wanted to? Just raise it! There\u2019s no point in having one is the point, \u2019cause nobody stands for it anymore. Nobody enforces it anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
