RUSH: Michael in Memphis. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Thank you, sir. I\u2019m a brand-new listener to your show, but I will be faithful. I hope my cell phone battery doesn\u2019t die.<\/p>\n
RUSH: How did you find the program, Michael?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I got a new job and the guy that I was replacing to train me, he was a faithful listener and after lunch every day he said, “I gotta have my Rush, man,” and he got me hooked.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Way to go, way to be. I love hearing that kind of story. Welcome to the light. Welcome home.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, you don\u2019t sound like the kind that\u2019s gonna do that, and you also don\u2019t sound like the kind of guy that wants to be in the position of owing the government the rest of your life if they do that for you.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, definitely not.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, how much do you owe?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Close to $15,000.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Both of you together owe 15,000?<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, just her. I worked and I went to a cheaper college and mine\u2019s already paid off, but she\u2019s got two student loans and hers combined will be about $15,000.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wow. Did you say she\u2019s working two jobs?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. Yeah, she\u2019s working six days a week.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I have to tell you, I applaud you. This is called accepting responsibility. And it\u2019s very rare. It\u2019s not very rare, but it\u2019s way too rare. You have assumed some obligations and you\u2019re assuming the responsibility for dealing with it, and believe me, you\u2019re gonna be much better off the rest of your life dealing with it this way, having this attitude about it. There are always going to be freeloaders and there are always gonna be people who feel entitled to it. You\u2019re always gonna be surrounded by people who may have more than you do, by the way, at various stages of your life who still feel entitled to it. <\/p>\n
CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I was just thinking that. Folks, here we have a young man from Memphis who is calling, and he\u2019s telling us that he\u2019s delaying things in life that he wants in order to meet his financial obligations, pay off his student loans. And how many of you out there went, “Way to go, way to go.” It\u2019s that rare that we feel like we have to stop and applaud it, whereas it ought to be as normal as getting up every morning. But our culture has become degraded and corrupted, that the action that you take stands out because it doesn\u2019t appear to be the norm anymore. You\u2019re to be applauded for it nevertheless, don\u2019t misunderstand.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Yeah. It\u2019s so sad, you know, I look at these people that get so angry —<\/p>\n

You have to focus, like you\u2019re doing now, on your responsibilities, doing the best you can, and, believe me, in the long run you\u2019re gonna be fine and you\u2019re gonna be much better off. But if you allow yourself to be embittered by this stuff — and, by the way, it\u2019s very hard not to, and the Democrat Party has made big gains by going to people just like you and telling you that you ought to vote for the Democrats because these people you see — except their enemy are the rich, not the freeloaders. You\u2019re upset at the freeloaders. The Democrat Party\u2019s enemies are the rich, and they come to people like you say, “Vote for us, we\u2019re gonna stick it to them.” That will not make your life any better and will not change your circumstances at all if these people all of a sudden had to start paying for what they\u2019re now getting for nothing, or if they get for nothing what they\u2019re asking for. It isn\u2019t going to change anything about your life. That\u2019s totally within your purview and your control. And that\u2019s what you need to focus on. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s always gonna be somebody who has more. There\u2019s always gonna be somebody who seemingly has it easier. There\u2019s always gonna be somebody that has a better advantage than you do. There\u2019s always gonna be injustice. There\u2019s always gonna be the sense of unfairness. It\u2019s life. And you\u2019ve got such a great head start keeping your head on straight dealing with it. Don\u2019t become embittered by this. It\u2019s perfectly fine to be angry by it and to note it and to say I don\u2019t want those kind of values in my life, I don\u2019t want to be a freeloader, I don\u2019t want to be marching down the street asking for somebody else to give me something. I want to make my own way. It\u2019s perfectly fine to have disrespect for those people. But don\u2019t let it eat you up to the point it changes who you are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
