RUSH: Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan, who is the ranking member of the House budget committee, is taking no prisoners talking about this budget. ‘Make no mistake,\u2019 he says. ‘This is a budget aimed to advance the administration\u2019s philosophy and ideology. By increasing taxes and letting country spiral into debt, this budget is a firm step toward transforming America into collectivist society overseen by a social welfare state.\u2019 That is precisely what\u2019s going on. I have told you from the get-go: The purpose this president has is remaking this country, the Cloward-Piven Strategy. He wants to force everybody, as many people as possible into welfare. Just overwhelm the private sector with things and turn everybody onto government assistance. And I know, folks, you can\u2019t understand why a president would do that. <\/p>\n

The only reason you can\u2019t understand it — if you don\u2019t — is because you don\u2019t understand liberals. Because you don\u2019t understand radicals. Because you don\u2019t understand ideology. A lot of people don\u2019t because ideology makes \u2019em uncomfortable. That\u2019s partisanship. And they would rather we all just get along and they hold out hope for it. But I\u2019m telling you: The only way we\u2019re going to rescue ourselves here is for as many people — as many multiple, millions of people to find out what the hell liberalism is all about — because that\u2019s what\u2019s happening. It\u2019s radical, radical leftism. Fascism, Marxism, I don\u2019t care what you want to call it. It is radical and it is not American. What\u2019s happening here is un-American. This budget is so outrageous. This budget… You know, back when Republicans used to send budgets up and they\u2019d always said they\u2019re DOA before Democrats had seen \u2019em. This one genuinely ought to be dead on arrival. It is just hideous. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s more from Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. He says, ‘The president\u2019s budget is not like most budgets, with some tax code tinkering and spending. This budget is a choice. We are about to make a decision whose consequences will last for generations.\u2019 A generation is 25 years. We\u2019re talking about two futures. It\u2019s a choice of two futures: The one we\u2019ve always known in the past or something unlike we\u2019ve ever seen in this country. That\u2019s what we face. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here, back to the phones, Mark in Vienna, Virginia. I\u2019m glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the EIB Network.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Mega dittos from Vienna.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Something struck me this morning when I heard James Clyburn\u2019s comments about in times of recession, the only way to get out of it is to spend more money. That struck me as it seems to me that there is no economic situation now when Democrats can\u2019t spend more money. If times are good, we have to spend more money because it\u2019s our moral obligation. When times are bad, we have to spend more money. In fact the recession requires us to do so because that\u2019s the only way out. So there\u2019s absolutely no economic situation that I can see where Democrats can\u2019t open the spigot and spend more money.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly. Exactly. They\u2019re setting it up so that whatever economic circumstance exists, we are going to need more spending. Grab audio sound bite number 14, Ed. We have a backup engineer today. Maimone\u2019s on his 25th wedding anniversary and he\u2019s doing something else. I forget what it is. I don\u2019t know what. What\u2019s he doing, Ed? Did he tell you what he\u2019s doing? (interruption) He kept quiet. He didn\u2019t to me. He sent me a note. But I don\u2019t remember what he said. I know it\u2019s his 25th wedding anniversary but he\u2019s doing something else that\u2019s going to cancel it out. He was making a joke. I don\u2019t know what it is. Anyway this was on Fox News Channel\u2019s Happening Now with Jane Skinner. She interviewed James Clyburn (Democrat-South Carolina). He heads up the Congressional Black Caucus. She said, ‘Our deficit will be hitting a record this year, the highest since post-World War II, well, beyond sustainable. And going forward if you look at these numbers we wouldn\u2019t hit the level the administration said it wants. What can you say to reassure taxpayers here?\u2019<\/p>\n

CLYBURN: We\u2019ve got to make some decisions here as to what\u2019s in the best interests of the country going forward, and I think the best interest is to invest in education, control these deficits while at the same time try to get people back to work. We are not going to save our way, uh, out of this recession. We\u2019ve got to spend our way out of this recession, and I think most economists know that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s an Obama trick: ‘I think most economists agree. Most economists agree.\u2019 This is insane. Plus, it\u2019s stupid. We\u2019re not going to save our way out of a depression? We gotta invest in education? For crying out loud, I am so sick and tired of hearing we gotta ‘invest\u2019 in education. That\u2019s all we do is invest in education and look what we\u2019re getting for it! We\u2019re getting a bunch of indoctrinated mind-numbed robots. I mean, there are even reading lists in certain schools now that include Saul Alinsky\u2019s Rules for Radicals. Obama\u2019s big organizing Bible. You grow your way out of a recession, Congressman Clyburn. You grow your way out. There is no growth whatsoever anywhere near this budget. By design. There is no change to unemployment. Nobody is forecasting a significant change for two years. If that\u2019s the case, there will be no end to this recession. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how you can say you can have a recovery without adding jobs — and if you don\u2019t add jobs and you still say you\u2019ve got a recovery, most people aren\u2019t going to consider it a recovery anyway. But all these people on unemployment, with extended benefits and more people destined to be unemployed is the purpose. It is the design anybody with any economic literacy knows, especially after one year of this, that this is not what you do to stop a recession or come out of it. This is not the way it is ever been done. This is almost criminal, compared to the greatness of this country. This is destroying the greatness of this country. This is cutting this country down to size for whatever perverted reasons Obama and his people have to not like the way this country was constituted and founded. Paul Ryan is right. Two choices, two futures. The future made up of what we\u2019ve always known in the past. Your kids do better than you, there\u2019s always expanded economic opportunity, expanding standards of living, or we go just the opposite. Your kids will not do better than you. Your kids may not even work. There may not be jobs for them. More and more people than ever on welfare. The welfare state growing and growing and growing. No more economic prosperity. Economic prosperity will have been usurped by government growth, by design. And Paul Ryan says it\u2019s not too late to make the right decision. The problem is we have to convince a bunch of Democrats to punt this budget. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
