They gotta come up with a trillion or $1.5 trillion in cuts by Thanksgiving, the day before Thanksgiving, or there will be $500 billion in Medicare cuts and $500 billion in defense cuts. And from what I gather there\u2019s not gonna be a deal. The Democrats are under orders not to make a deal. The Democrats are convinced if they don\u2019t make a deal, the Republicans are gonna get blamed for it, and that\u2019s the objective.<\/line><img id=\"eZObject_56263\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ReidObamaBoehner.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So there won\u2019t be a deal. There won\u2019t be a deal. The Democrats are gonna see to it there\u2019s $500 billion cut from Medicaid and blame the Republicans for it. That\u2019s the plan. And $500 billion in defense and blame the Republicans. They are going to use their media bias advantage full tilt. That is what I understand is the strategery. No deal, Democrats are under orders from Pelosi and Reid not to make one, stall it, and when the deal goes south, say the Republicans just wouldn\u2019t cooperate. They won\u2019t be bipartisan, Republicans don\u2019t want to get along with anybody. You know the drill.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Champaign, St. Louis Park, Minnesota, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. It\u2019s an honor talking to you, Mr. Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You\u2019re welcome, Champaign.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: What I wanted to bring to your attention is, I think during the debt debate we should let the cuts kick in and the $1.2 trillion will kick in which will be $600 billion in the military. I\u2019m a big military supporter, but that\u2019s $50 billion a year for ten &#8212; $60 billion a year for ten years and then we\u2019ll get the other $600 billion in domestic cuts and then we don\u2019t have to raise taxes.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, you want $600 billion in defense and $600 billion in Medicare, those are the two big items that would be cut?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes. That\u2019s okay with me because within ten years we\u2019re gonna be $25 trillion in debt, and it\u2019s gonna happen anyways.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It\u2019s out of our control. So why not get the cut?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It may not happen. Depends on who\u2019s elected. It may not happen. The thing is, this is another $500 billion on top of the $500 billion we just cut. We may need the military someday, even with Obama. And the whole point of this, look, I understand what you\u2019re saying. These cuts gotta happen; let\u2019s bite the bullet and do it, right? That\u2019s your thinking on this?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Yes, that\u2019s my thinking on it, but it doesn\u2019t matter how you look at it; the sentiment in the United States now is we have to bring most of our troops home. If we bring most of our troops home and redefine our military we can make $50 billion dollar a year cuts and still be just as strong if we &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You realize now the strategy here on the part of the Democrats is to let this happen and then blame the Republicans because there will also be health care cuts that will be pretty sizable and the strategy is to go and let these cuts happen and blame the Republicans as part of the campaign. The Democrats are of the opinion people really don\u2019t want this stuff cut. They might be saying so, but when it happens to them, they aren\u2019t gonna be happy. And the strategy, as I say, go ahead and let this stuff happen. The Democrats\u2019 strategy is to not come up with a deal and then blame all of what happens, whatever it is, the chaos, on Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Well, we have the debt debate going on, and we have to negotiate something, so I don\u2019t think we have much of a choice.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, the reason we don\u2019t have much of a choice is because the Democrats do not want to cut anything. They don\u2019t want to cut anything. Therefore, they think that if the automatic cuts kick in, they\u2019re of the belief that most of the country doesn\u2019t want cuts of this size, and they can turn this into a big electoral advantage for Obama. Thanks much for the call out there, Champaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I\u2019m actually kind of shocked.
