The first one, I think I\u2019ve had this conversation, I think Rahm has had this conversation with a few of you, there were discussions about the exact composition of tax cuts, different types of tax cuts, the president ran on a series of tax cuts that are &#8212; some of which are and some of which aren\u2019t in the recovery and reinvestment plan. Republicans are other tax cuts and ideas. The president said that he felt confident with the tax cuts that he\u2019d run on, that the people had weighed in on what they thought might be a good way to stimulate the economy. He said he won, and the next thing that happened is everybody laughed. So this wasn\u2019t cowboy diplomacy. This was I think a rather lighthearted moment in a meeting that he was pleased to host in order to have Democrats and Republicans talk extensively about their ideas for getting this economy moving.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, wait a minute, he\u2019s talking about the &#8216;I won\u2019 comment there. I\u2019m trying to maintain my composure here and not yell and shout. It was a lighthearted moment in a meeting that he was pleased to host in order to have Democrats and Republicans talk extensively about their ideas about getting the economy moving? He shut down the conversation on tax cuts by saying, nope, I\u2019m going to trump that, I won. He shut it down. He was eliminating all talk in that meeting about tax cuts with the &#8216;I won\u2019 comment, which was made to Eric Cantor from Virginia, who was the one who proposed the tax cuts. I have a proposal. It\u2019s at RushLimbaugh.com. I spent my first monologue in the second hour today detailing this. It is serious. It is genuine. And it is bipartisan. It is the essence of bipartisan. I\u2019ll give you the nut of it. The nut of it is he wants to spend a trillion dollars in stimulus. He got 54% of the vote. He lost 46% of the vote. So he gets $540 billion to spend his way, with his infrastructure and all that, and the Republicans get $460 billion to spend their way, tax cuts, corporate, capital gains, real estate tax cuts, and we\u2019ll see side-by-side which one works so that we will know in the next recession what to do. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s genuinely bipartisan and it\u2019s designed to stop the acrimony now. It\u2019s designed to get the economy going today. Dow Jones Industrial Average is flirting at zero, after all these executive orders, after all these economic plans, after this press conference today with Gibbs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is not moving. Markets look to Washington to get some idea on the future. That\u2019s not good, but that\u2019s the way it is. They\u2019re not liking what they see, the markets aren\u2019t. My plan, they would love, and I offered it, folks. This is not a gimmick, and it\u2019s not a trick, it\u2019s not a ploy of any kind. It was a serious proposal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Robert Gibbs was just asked about me by Major Garrett of Fox News during his presidential briefing.
