You know, I was really upset over the first bailout; and then, you know, we're getting ready to spend another trillion dollars. One of the things that I'm really upset about is the explanation to the American people, especially as a taxpayer, and I was hoping you might be able to enlighten me...

RUSH: Barney Frank, the truth has been spoken. This afternoon, MSNBC Live the anchor Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, asked Barney Frank, "The White House has already hinted at compromises as we've suggested, fixing the AMT, some of these other things, reaching out to the Democrats, telling Henry Waxman not to put the family planning money in. Are the Democrats going to go ahead and compromise, and should they?"FRANK: The fact that we are talking about this very large, by traditional standards,...

Let us reeducate the American people on Carl Levin, Democrat of Michigan. If Carl Levin were a competent Senator, his comments today would not have been about a jet.

RUSH: Larry in Kansas City, Kansas, as we go back to the phones. Glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network.CALLER: Well, Rush, I just want to say that I'm definitely a part of your 1% club. Article 1, Section 8 in the Ninth and Tenth Amendment basically say in plain terms Congress keep your hands off the private sector and the free market. There's nowhere in the Constitution where it says that they have the right for bailouts, to take control of the private sector. I applaud what you're...

RUSH: Obama just left the Capitol. He just finished his meeting with Republican leaders up there trying to get them to go along with his stimulus package. Now, I want to explore something in a little detail that I brought up yesterday. Obama does not need a single Republican vote in the House to get the stimulus bill. He just needs two votes in the Senate to get it. He does not need Republican votes. "I won," he said. He can trump 'em. Why does he want Republicans on board? Why does he want...

RUSH: You know, this Pelosi business of funding abortion being part of the stimulus, contraception being part of the stimulus and fewer people means economic growth? This thing went away way too fast. Nobody fought for this, other than Bob Wexler, congressman from Florida who lives in Maryland. It looks like this might have been a House Democrat leadership plan. I'm not so sure that Obama ever bought into this, because Obama canceled it with the slightest bit of attention. Now, folks, this...

RUSH: Folks, look at things. Try to look at it this way, if you will. The Citibank corporate jet and the Merrill Lynch bathroom refurbishment means nothing to us. It means not one substantive thing to you whether they have a jet or not at Starbucks, Merrill Lynch, it matters nothing, it won't make one bit of difference in your life. Same thing if some of these guys want to remodel their offices for $1.2 million. But the loss of trillions in the stock market, your plummeting 401(k)s, your savings...
