I have here a copy, it\u2019s eight pages, of the president\u2019s Labor Day speech yesterday. And paragraph 23: “We have a responsibility that when somebody hurts, government has got to move. And that\u2019s why we\u2019ve signed extensions to the unemployment insurance, so people can get their feet back on the ground. Elaine\u2019s department, the Department of Labor, passes out emergency grants for people who are hurting to cover health care costs and child care costs and other critical needs, and that\u2019s a useful role for the government.”<\/line> That\u2019s just where we are. That\u2019s just what it is. I don\u2019t want to say too much now because I\u2019m still in the process of digesting all this myself. And I want to see a couple of other things. But on the surface here, just at first glance, it\u2019s not encouraging. And you might be saying, “Why, Rush? What is the big difference? What\u2019s the big problem?” The big problem is individuals. As long as the government is going to continue to take over more and more of the providing of people\u2019s needs and desires, the less and less qualified those people are going to be to do it themselves and the more dependent on the provider, government, they\u2019re going to be. And the more dependent people are, then the greater chance we\u2019re going to slip as a great nation. Some of this stuff is obviously supplemental assistance, like unemployment extension. The problem is we already have the extensions added up to over a year of unemployment compensation, and that does not motivate and inspire people to go out and find work, and that\u2019s what needs to happen. Anyway, we\u2019ve covered all this ground on previous occasions, and I\u2019m sure we\u2019re going to be coming back to it, so let me drop it now.<\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/strong><\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
