RUSH: Okay, here's that fat stuff, the fat tax. I have two stories on this. The first is from the State-Controlled CNNMoney.com. "Taxing the Fat in Your Food," is the headline. The subhead: "New study argues that a tax on fattening foods could help pay for health reform and curb obesity -- and lower health costs." Well, no, it won't happen. We've cut smoking in half, if not more, and the health care costs have not decreased. And by the way, "preventive lifestyles"? None of this has been shown...

RUSH: This is Sarah lurking in parts unknown in Minnesota. Hi.CALLER: Hi, Rush.

Was that where he said it's not his job to help you make money?CALLER: That's exactly right.RUSH:...

RUSH: One more thing here about all this health care stuff that we have learned today about what could be done in terms of government policy to expand the use of health savings accounts, which are tax-free savings to be used for health care and tax credits that allow taxpayers to keep, say $10,000 a year, to be used to purchase private policies. We have the government giving people $4,500 a year to trade in used cars, that's a direct payment, why not give them some monies for their own health savings...

I wanted to talk with you about how the government or how Obama is going to do that thing about quality versus quantity.RUSH: Yeah, and the bundling the payments.CALLER: Yeah. And I also wanted to say, I'll say it for you, Obama is a liar. There is no such thing as preexisting condition exclusions for life....

RUSH: Now, Obama is out there doing another one of these town hall meetings today. He's in North Carolina. We have some sound bites here. I'm... (sigh) Once again as I look at the transcripts of these sound bites, I'm confronted with the challenge of: "How do I say to people the president of the United States not telling the truth?" Here's sound bite number one.OBAMA (sped up): I don't know whether you've seen the latest cover of Newsweek magazine on the rack at the grocery store, but the cover...

RUSH: I warned you people. I warned you earlier this week. "Do not get giddy over the apparent troubles in the House in getting the health care bill vote" I said. "Because the Blue Dog Democrats are at the end of the day Democrats," and the way it works in the House of Representatives is that when push comes to shove, Pelosi will bring them in there -- perhaps with Rahm Emanuel sitting in the office, Steny Hoyer will be in there -- and these Blue Dogs, many of whom are not veterans yet, rookies...

It seems very similar to me to the Medicare bulk billing scheme that we have down here in Australia which has just really turned into...

RUSH: Now, look at this headline, and this is from the state-controlled Associated Press.
