So Obama authorizes about $800 billion in stimulus spending, 75% of it goes to union members, who pay dues, and that money comes right back to the Democrats.&nbsp; I would say of the $800 billion that was allocated for stimulus, a couple hundred million ends up with Democrats going through unions and dues and then union donations from the dues money.&nbsp; And then other Democrats were paid off who had helped Obama get elected.&nbsp; Big donors were given things like that Solyndra.&nbsp; But I knew from the beginning they weren\u2019t gonna spend money on roads and bridges, and we haven\u2019t.&nbsp; But I think when Donald Trump talks about how embarrassed he is at the state of some American airports, he\u2019s truthful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And I think that if he\u2019s got a stimulus plan, and if the thing gets passed, if the Republican Congress authorizes it &#8212; and it\u2019ll be interesting to watch the Democrats, what they do on this.&nbsp; &#8216;Cause Trump does have a big, big stimulus plan. Well, not a stimulus.&nbsp; He\u2019s got a big roads and bridges repair project plan, and the Democrats, they could not wait to vote for and authorize Obama\u2019s.&nbsp; Let\u2019s see what they do in the Senate and in the House when Trump\u2019s plan comes up.&nbsp; Let\u2019s see if they oppose it.&nbsp; I have no doubt that they\u2019ll oppose it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some of them are gonna be tempted to go along with it, though, because they think the people benefiting from the money will be union types, construction and so forth, we\u2019ll see, but they\u2019re gonna be attempted to oppose Trump on everything just for the principle of it.&nbsp; So we\u2019ll see.&nbsp; They\u2019re gonna be in a bit of a dilemma on that.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The day would not be complete without an audio sound bite referencing me, and today\u2019s comes from NPR, a program that aired this morning.&nbsp; The host is a guy named John Hockenberry.&nbsp; He\u2019s taking calls from listeners about the election.&nbsp; And a guy named Dave from Newark, New Jersey, called in.
