RUSH: Let\u2019s go to Chris Van Hollen. He\u2019s the point Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, Democrat side. He was the first guy yesterday who responded to Paul Ryan on Sunday, on the Sunday shows. Ryan gave us a sneak peek at what his budget proposal was gonna be. They sent Van Hollen out there. He\u2019s from Maryland. They sent Van Hollen out there to offer up the 30-year-old cliches from the Democrat Party playbook about why this budget\u2019s dead on arrival, and he talked about all the tax breaks for the rich, and of course we have the story about the crony capitalism with Obama and AT&T, $140 million of your taxpayer money given to AT&T to fund health care for their early retirees. Ninety-seven million dollars to Verizon and $202 million to the United Auto Workers. <\/p>\n

By the way, Obama just said that they have agreed to $73 billion worth of cuts, but the Republicans are pressing for specific cuts. They\u2019d agreed to $73 billion, but some of those cuts Obama\u2019s not gonna put up with. He\u2019s not gonna put up with some of them. (imitating Obama) “I\u2019ve agreed to $73 billion, but not some of the things that they want to cut.” Meanwhile, folks, we are only here because the Democrats failed to do a budget in the first place. As far as I\u2019m concerned, they have no standing in any of this. They punted. When it was time constitutionally to do a budget they voted “present.” The adults have to take over and now fund the country with these continuing resolutions, and, as we all know, Boehner is trying to adhere to the rules. But Obama doesn\u2019t like the specific cuts. Here now is Van Hollen. Let\u2019s see what he\u2019s got to say. Press conference after Ryan proposed his budget this afternoon.<\/p>\n

VAN HOLLEN: The Republican plan in the House fails the simple test of balance. In fact, if you look at the Republican plan it is simply a recycled rigid ideology that says we need to provide big tax breaks to the very wealthy —<\/p>\n

RUSH: See?<\/p>\n

VAN HOLLEN: — and the very powerful —<\/p>\n

RUSH: See?<\/p>\n

VAN HOLLEN: — at the expense of the rest of the country.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See? <\/p>\n

VAN HOLLEN: It\u2019s dressed up in a lot of nice sounding rhetoric about reform, but in fact it\u2019s the same tired, old playbook that we\u2019ve seen before. They preserve, and, in fact, increase tax cuts for the very wealthiest Americans. They keep in place tax subsidies to the oil and gas industry and other special corporate interests while they cut education.<\/p>\n

RUSH: They don\u2019t cut education. You see, it\u2019s the same old same old. And these are phantom cuts anyway, these are phantom complaints. We\u2019re simply, Mr. Van Hollen, going back to 2008 spending levels, your budget. Are you telling us now that your budget was filled with tax cuts for the rich? Are you telling us that your budget in 2008 kicked old people out of their houses and denied them health care? Is that what you\u2019re telling us, Mr. Van Hollen? Dressed up in a lot of nice sounding rhetoric and reform, same tired playbook, tax breaks for the very wealthy. Don\u2019t forget, Mr. Van Hollen, you\u2019re on thin ice here. It is your party, crony capitalism, federal dollars in Obamacare to AT&T, Verizon, the UAW to fund health care. If anybody\u2019s in bed with these wealthy special corporate interests, it\u2019s Obama and it\u2019s all of you. You voted for this health care bill, Van Hollen. You\u2019ve got, quote, unquote, the blood of all this on your hands. Here\u2019s what he accused Ryan of regarding Medicare.<\/p>\n

VAN HOLLEN: What do they do with Medicare? They essentially end Medicare as we know it. They don\u2019t reform it. They deform it. They take away the Medicare guarantee for seniors. They say you\u2019ve got to go into the private insurance market and, by the way, we\u2019ll give you a voucher, premium support, whatever you want to call it. It will reduce value over time. And all the risk of increased cost in the health care system will be borne by the Medicare beneficiary, the seniors.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, only among those who can afford it. Now, keep in mind, this is what Ryan wants. He wants them demagoguing it this way. He said so, Snerdley. I mean you can sit there and look at me like I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about. He said it. You see Van Hollen in just two sound bites look at everything they\u2019re fighting. What Ryan has done here is flood the zone with so many proposals that the Democrats are going to sound silly. They\u2019re going to be opposing virtually everything in it. They are going to become the party of “no.” These are the people that punted. These are the people that voted “present.” These are the people that checked out of the entire budget process last fall. Now, Obama just clarified, by the way, he\u2019s willing to go to $73 billion but now Boehner wants the full $100 billion. They didn\u2019t agree to 73. Obama has said he\u2019s willing to go there but now Boehner wants a hundred billion. <\/p>\n

Ladies and gentlemen, we are seeing history happen before our eyes. We are watching how democracy really works. Obama just said that if Boehner and Reid can\u2019t work things out he\u2019s gonna have them come back to the White House tomorrow. He\u2019s gonna summon Boehner again. He\u2019s gonna summon Reid up there. If they can\u2019t work this out, he\u2019s gonna have \u2019em come be back. He\u2019s the referee, see, he\u2019s clean and pure as the wind-driven snow. He\u2019s got no dog in this hunt. That\u2019s the way he\u2019s choosing to play this, it\u2019s like he had nothing to do with health care. He didn\u2019t have his own plan. That\u2019s the way he plays it. He had nothing to do specifically with any of the elements of the budget or legislative process that have led us to where we are. Here\u2019s more Van Hollen. This is the last bite. We\u2019ve had Pelosi talk about it. We\u2019ve had Reid talk about it, now Van Hollen. This block grant proposal on Medicare, this has just sent \u2019em into a tizzy.<\/p>\n

VAN HOLLEN: Simply put, turning Medicaid into a block grant program is just code for cutting deeply into supports for seniors in nursing homes, seniors in assisted living facilities, low-income kids, disabled individuals, and the most vulnerable population. It\u2019s a blank check to governors with a license to cut the support for those individuals in our society. It is certainly not courageous to pick on some of the most vulnerable in our society.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, what\u2019s wrong with this? Just intellectually what\u2019s wrong with it? Right, governors want to kill their own people. Chris Van Hollen says the block grant program sending it back to the governors, the governors just want to close down these institutions and send people in them out to the streets to die. Low-income kids, disabled individuals, the most vulnerable population, blank check to governors to cut support for those individuals, the governors are gonna kill their own people. You leave it up to the governors, they\u2019re gonna kill their own people. He just does not want any of this power divested from Washington. (interruption) I know we block granted welfare reform, and it worked. Governors cannot print money. Governors have to make things balance. Governors have to do things. They can\u2019t sit up there and play games. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Where is the Democrat Party\u2019s 2011 budget, folks? Where is it? Where is the Democrat Party\u2019s 2012 budget? They are now two budgets behind. Where is Obama\u2019s deficit commission proposal? He deep-sixed it. My point is that the Democrat Party is assuming no responsibility for a mess they have made. As is the usual case, the simplest way to say this is, we are the good guys. We are the serious ones, all of us together. From the Tea Party on up, we are the ones trying to solve the problems. We are the ones trying to fix the mess. The Democrat Party is MIA. They make the mess. Somehow they are excused from ownership. They didn\u2019t do a budget last year. They haven\u2019t done a budget this year. All they do is complain and whine and moan. So Obama and the Democrats have not offered a budget for this year; they\u2019ve not offered a budget for next year. They have rejected the deficit commission proposals. They call everybody else extreme, irresponsible, they want to cut school lunches. They claim that we want to starve the elderly, that all we care about is tax cuts for the rich. <\/p>\n

Where are the Democrats? The Democrats aren\u2019t even being talked about in the media or in the polls. All this is being cast as the evil Republican Party versus the shining knight, Barack Obama. That\u2019s how the media\u2019s casting this. Democrats are not even being talked about by the media. They\u2019re being given a free ride. They\u2019re total spectators. They create the mess. We are the good guys in this. We\u2019re the ones trying to clean it all up, and yet we\u2019re the extremists. We\u2019re the racists, sexists, bigots, homophobes, all of this. They are the gutless wonders, the masterminds of destruction. We have picked up the mop. We are trying to get the car out of the ditch. They sit around and cry like a bunch of stuck pigs, whine like a bunch of little children and you can\u2019t really top Obama for chutzpah. He just said we cannot have a “my way or the highway” approach to this problem. This is the same guy who said, “I won.” The same guy who said, “I won” during the leadership meeting, first one he held after being immaculated in early 2009. Some Republican said, “Well, you might want to try tax cuts to get the economy –” “Well, that would be good except for one thing: I won.” The same guy who didn\u2019t even meet with the Republican leadership until a couple of months ago now says we can\u2019t have a “my way or the highway” approach to this problem, when that\u2019s all we\u2019ve had since he took office.<\/p>\n
