RUSH: ‘Leading Indicators Suggest Recovery Slowing.\u2019 From the keepers of the faith at the Associated Press: ‘A private research group says its gauge of future economic activity dropped in June, the second decline in past 3 months, suggesting the U.S. economic recovery will weaken.\u2019 Now, for the recovery to weaken, it would actually have to be happening. It would have to be a recovery, and there isn\u2019t. The only place there is an economic recovery is in the hearts and minds of the nonexistent media, the people that pretend to be reporters, anchors, and all that. That\u2019s the only place a recovery exists. There is no economic recovery. ‘The number of Americans filing for initial unemployment insurance climbed last week, the government said Thursday,\u2019 and there\u2019s nothing surprising about it this time. Normally the story would say: ‘The number of Americans filing for initial unemployment insurance ‘surprisingly\u2019 or ‘unexpectedly\u2019 climbed last week.\u2019 <\/p>\n

”It\u2019s very disappointing to have this leading indicator of economic conditions jump higher,\u2019 John Lonski, chief economist at Moody\u2019s Economy.com.\u2019 Now, remember it was just last week when these jobless claims were down and everybody was all excited about it. Now, of course, the Reuters\u2019 version of the story says: ‘A Labor Department official said there were no special factors affecting the numbers, but noted the Independence Day holiday in the prior week could have caused a backlog in processing applications.\u2019 Right. There\u2019s never been a Fourth of July holiday before. This is the first time ever that a Fourth of July holiday actually affected unemployment numbers. <\/p>\n

‘The jump in jobless claims signals more coming in the way of a slack labor market that will curb the growth of wages and employment income, and thereby consumer spending.\u2019 Oh, and, folks, there\u2019s a couple stories out there, one\u2019s in the Wall Street Journal, one\u2019s in TheHill.com today about all of the Democrats now who want to extend the Bush tax cuts. It\u2019s not a whole lot of them, but there\u2019s a significant number of Democrats who don\u2019t want the Bush tax cuts to sunset in January for everybody, including for the rich. Now, what\u2019s interesting about this is, do they mean it, or are they just articulating this for their campaigns, their reelection coming up this fall? Let\u2019s assume hypothetically for the moment here that they mean it. What does it tell us? It means they know and they\u2019ve known all along the real value of tax cuts. They\u2019re saying we don\u2019t need tax increases right now. We don\u2019t have an economic recovery going on and we\u2019re going to forestall a recovery if we increase taxes. They are admitting, these Democrats are, that raising taxes slows the economy. We\u2019ll keep happy sharp eye on this. It\u2019s in the Wall Street Journal and TheHill.com. <\/p>\n

General Motors, Government Motors ‘will acquire auto finance company AmeriCredit Corp. in a $3.5 billion dollar deal aimed at increasing the availability of auto loans and leases. The deal gives [Government Motors] an in-house lender for the first time since it sold control of GMAC.\u2019 Now, Government Motors has purchased a private sector lender. What this essentially means is that the Obama administration has taken over a private sector lender because the Obama regime owns General Motors. So another creative means of moving assets from the private sector to the regime. While everybody, ‘Oh, wow, look at this, General Motors is growing. Look, they have so much money they can go buy a finance company.\u2019 Whose money is it? This is Dingy Harry yesterday morning on the Senate floor speaking about all of this.<\/p>\n

REID: Isn\u2019t it a good thing today in America we have an automobile manufacturing sector? If it had been up to them, General Motors would be gone. If it were up to them, Ford Motor Company would probably be gone. Chrysler would definitely be gone.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Harry Reid is saying that the auto bailout saved Ford, when Ford didn\u2019t get any bailout money. This is desperation. Nothing is working. No liberal idea is working the way some of them thought their ideas were gonna work, and now they\u2019ve taken over another private sector lender under the guise, ‘Look at this, look what we did, our takeover of Government Motors has been so successful, we\u2019re able to go out there and buy and extend the auto company by having our own lender.\u2019 Yeah, the government. <\/p>\n

‘Weekly Claims Turn Higher, Keeping Jobs Outlook Fragile.\u2019 Congress has an approval rating of 11%. That\u2019s the news today, 11% approval. Obama has orchestrated all this pain, he\u2019s delivered the pain. Obama enjoys what he sees. From TheHill.com: ‘What is absolutely clear is that we are headed in the right direction — and that the surest way out of these storms we\u2019ve been in is to keep moving forward, not back.\u2019 That\u2019s the president, prepared remarks set for delivery at Smith Electric Vehicles in Kansas City next week. Clinton said, ‘I feel your pain.\u2019 And Clinton pretended to be hurt by the pain we were having, that he was feeling. Well Obama is delivering the pain. Obama delivers the pain on a silver platter, and he really, really likes it. He golfs; he parties with $100-per-pound Wagyu beef; he celebrates what he sees across the fruited plain. He\u2019s out there talking about we\u2019re back from the brink. Whatever he\u2019s looking at, he\u2019s happy. He sees all this and he sees economic recovery: more job destruction; less disposable income in the pipeline; a regulation nightmare for fossil fuel energy companies is next.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This morning in Washington, DC, the leader of the regime signed another piece of legislation, the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act. Now, what does this sound like to you? The Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act. That make any sense? What the hell is this? I have no idea what this is! The Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act? So we\u2019re going to eliminate ‘improper payments.\u2019 Whose improper payments? And what recovery? Anyway, here\u2019s Obama explaining why this is all wonderful.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: When government doesn\u2019t work like it should, it has a real effect on people\u2019s lives. On small business owners who need loans, on young people who want to go to college, on the men and women who serve this country and are trying to get the benefits that they\u2019ve earned. And when we continue to spend as if deficits don\u2019t matter —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Jeez!<\/p>\n

OBAMA: — that means our kids and our grandkids may wind up saddled with debt that they\u2019ll never be able to repay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: The guy\u2019s a joke. He\u2019s an ever-loving joke. The problem is he\u2019s president of the United States, and he\u2019s destroying us. ‘When government doesn\u2019t work like it should, it has a real effect on people\u2019s lives.\u2019 As though the only thing important in your life is government and when government doesn\u2019t work, you get the shaft. And it is just the opposite. When government doesn\u2019t work, an example: ‘on small business owners who need loans.\u2019 What does the government have to do with small business loans? And if it has anything to do with them, it shouldn\u2019t. Small business people look to government and say, ‘What do I have to do to escape these people?\u2019 Small business owners look to government, ‘Okay, what kind of obstacles are they going to put in my way?\u2019 <\/p>\n

Small business people look at government and go, ‘Oh-ho, no.\u2019 Small business owners look at government and curse — and here is this, the most inexperienced boob in any room he happens to occupy, saying, ‘When government doesn\u2019t work like it should it has a real effect on people\u2019s lives, on small business owners who need loans, on young people who want to go to college.\u2019 Why should government have anything at all to do with whether you want to go to college or whether you do go to college or what happens to you when you\u2019re at college? Why…? Why should government have any involvement? ‘[O]n the men and women and serve this country and trying to get the benefits that they\u2019ve earned.\u2019 You know, there\u2019s a word in the American lexicon that by itself is destroying us, and that word is ‘benefits.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Virtually everything in life is now portrayed as a ‘benefit\u2019 from the government, and it\u2019s something that people ought to aim for. ‘Make sure you get your benefits!\u2019 I hate the word ‘benefits.\u2019 I utterly despise it I despise it for what it means and the way it\u2019s used, the current context. I despise the word for what it creates in people, in terms of a thought process or goal or an objective. ‘Yeah, I\u2019m out to get my benefits.\u2019 Let me tell you: In my life, and I\u2019m not that uncommon, I have never once been focused on benefits. Not once. Even when I was applying for jobs, the benefits… I wasn\u2019t focused on sick days or vacation time or health care or any of that. I just wanted to know, ‘What am I gonna get paid? How can I get paid more? What do I have to do to get paid more? What do I have to do to get the job and keep the job?\u2019<\/p>\n

What is this benefits garbage? Now we got the Democrat Party and the left, and all they do is talk about benefits. ‘When government isn\u2019t working people don\u2019t get their benefits. Unemployment compensation benefits.\u2019 It\u2019s a welfare program! It\u2019s a new entitlement! Benefits? And, of course, ‘benefits\u2019 and ‘entitlements\u2019 go together. We are entitled to our benefits. ‘[T]he men and women who serve this country trying to get the benefits they\u2019ve earned…\u2019 ‘When government doesn\u2019t work…\u2019 Whose fault is it when government doesn\u2019t work? ‘[A]nd when we continue to spend as if deficits don\u2019t matter…\u2019 Who is ‘spending as if deficits don\u2019t matter,\u2019 Mr. President? Who? Who is ‘spending as if deficits don\u2019t matter\u2019? None other than you! None other than your party. ‘[T]hat means our kids and our grandkids may wind up saddled with debts they\u2019ll never be able to repay\u2019?<\/p>\n

They already are, thanks exclusively to you! Maddening. Then, of course, our buddies from the Ministry of Truth. How about that as a name for the media? ‘The Ministry of Truth.\u2019 From the regime, the regime\u2019s Ministry of Truth. To replace media. I\u2019m gonna come up with something, because there is no media, and what they do isn\u2019t real — and we have to sit here and we have to have our intelligence and everything else we have insulted every day by this little manchild who has no more business being in the White House… (sigh) I\u2019m really starting to get steamed in here. I hear sound bites like this… Play this damn sound bite again. I can\u2019t… Folks, what the hell did you people that voted for this guy do? What have you done? Do you have any regrets whatsoever? When are you people that voted for this doofus going to apologize? We are owed an apology. <\/p>\n

Look at what\u2019s happening. The most racial president we\u2019ve ever had. He\u2019s come to divide. All anybody\u2019s talking about is race. This is the one-year anniversary of Obama calling the Cambridge cop stupid, and now we\u2019ve got Shirley Sherrod who wants to talk to Obama \u2019cause he not down for the struggle. She doesn\u2019t think he understands what it\u2019s like to have grown up the way she did, and yet at the same time people are telling us, ‘She\u2019s not about race, Rush. This woman\u2019s about rich versus poor. This woman\u2019s about equality.\u2019 No, no, no. She was at the NAALCP, which equals racism. Forget calling them the NAACP. They are now the R-A-C-I-S-M. NAACP = RACISM. And they\u2019re all applauding her when she\u2019s talking about racism. We have a president who\u2019s inspiring this. We have a president who is encouraging this — and saying absolutely stupid, ridiculous, insulting things like this. Audio sound bite 28 again… <\/p>\n

OBAMA: When government doesn\u2019t work like it should, it has a real effect on people\u2019s lives. On small business owners who need loans, on young people who want to go to college, on the men and women who serve this country and are trying to get the benefits that they\u2019ve earned.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Benefits. Benefits.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: And when we continue to spend as if deficits don\u2019t matter that means our kids and our grandkids may wind up saddled with debt that they\u2019ll never be able to repay.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (tapping on desk) ‘[W]hen we continue to spend as if deficits don\u2019t matter that means our kids and our grandkids may wind up saddled with debt that they\u2019ll never be able to repay.\u2019 Meanwhile, let\u2019s go sound bites five and six. Here\u2019s the second most unqualified guy in any room he walks into: This diminutive, tiny, little egghead elitist Treasury secretary, tax cheat. We were told we had to forgive his tax cheatedness because he\u2019s the only guy qualified to administer the TARP bailouts. This is last night on the Ministry of Truth\u2019s Charlie Rose Show. The question: Did it drive a wedge between the president and the administration on one hand, and Wall Street and the business community on the other?\u2019<\/p>\n

GEITHNER: There\u2019s nothing remarkable in this — is that businesses would like to be able to operate with less regulation, fewer constraints, and of course lower taxes.<\/p>\n

ROSE: Rates.<\/p>\n

GEITHNER: As you\u2019d expect, they want as much leverage as they can — power, influence as they can — to make sure that they can operate with lower taxes, lower regulation in the future. Our job, though, again —<\/p>\n

ROSE: Right.<\/p>\n

GEITHNER: — is to try to do what we think is best for the broader public interests for the economy as a whole, and I think in this bill, you saw that broader public interest prevail.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You hear that? That\u2019s regime-speak. That\u2019s elitist-speak. This is ruling class-speak. This is, ‘I\u2019m smarter than you.\u2019 This is, ‘I\u2019m better than you.\u2019 When someone says, ‘Well, of course businesses want lower taxes. Of course. You expect them to try to get as much leverage so they can, power, influence, as they can to make sure they can operate with lower taxes, lower regulation but screw them! We\u2019re gonna make sure none of that happens because we\u2019re working for the benefit of the American people, and the benefit of the American people as to make sure they aren\u2019t shafted these people that want lower taxes and less regulation. We\u2019re going to make sure there aren\u2019t any businesses to hire anybody. We\u2019re gonna get even for the American people because we\u2019re smarter than anybody else. We!<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m Tim Geithner and I\u2019m smarter than you are. I got an egghead-shaped head, and that means there\u2019s a bigger brain in there, and I got more brain cells and I\u2019m smarter that you are, and these people want lower taxes and they want lower regulation, but SCREW THEM!\u2019 He wasn\u2019t through. Ranking member of the Ministry of Truth, Charlie Rose: ‘Some people rather the recovery has stalled, Mr. Geithner, that job creation\u2019s not where it ought to be. Look at the housing market. Are we getting worse; are we getting better?\u2019 <\/p>\n

GEITHNER: It\u2019s not getting better as fast as we would like — and a lot of that is simply because, again, you know, this is a crisis in part becau– caused by the fact people were living down their means for a long period of time. And so inevitably we were going to go through a very difficult transition as people save more, reduce their debt burdens. And the crisis, you know, caused stunning damage to basic confidence among businesses.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So, ‘uh, uh, uh,\u2019 Geithner here has blamed the financial crisis ultimately on the American people living beyond their means. ‘It\u2019s not getting better as fast as we would like — and a lot of that is simply because, again, you know, this is a crisis in part caused by the fact people were living down their means for a long period of time (like me. I wasn\u2019t paying my taxes), and so inevitably we were gonna go through a very difficult transition as people save more, reduce their debt burdens, a crisis, you know, is stunning damage, basic confidence among businesses.\u2019 What the hell is he talking about? It\u2019s all gobbledygook. It\u2019s the kind of cocktail party jingo you get from people don\u2019t have the faintest idea that they\u2019re talking about. <\/p>\n

This is the kind of theory you get in the faculty lounge, where everything\u2019s abstract. There aren\u2019t really people. There aren\u2019t businesses and there aren\u2019t jobs. It\u2019s just abstract theory that only the smart people can maneuver the chess pieces to make it all work. Geithner\u2019s the guy who told us that capitalism would be different under Obama. Back in March of 2009 he appeared, once again, with the Ministry of Truth\u2019s Charlie Rose, and toward the end of the interview he said, ‘American capitalism, uh, is going to be different under Obama. Financial system, too, it\u2019s going to be… Uh, it\u2019s going to be different under Obama. Everybody wants lower taxes, lower regulation. The remarkable thing is they want going to lower taxes. We\u2019ll try to manipulate that, future and so forth. Our job, though, is to screw \u2019em to make sure that doesn\u2019t happen.\u2019<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019re going to go to Rockford, Illinois. Jane you\u2019re first, it\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I love you.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Congratulations on your wedding to Kathryn. Hey, I\u2019ve been listening this morning and these sound bites from this doofus that we have in the White House has just got me angry in so many levels. I want to know what world this guy lives in because he is just so out of touch. My husband and I own a small business, and we have two retail stores, we\u2019re trying to expand to another location where we think the business would be more profitable and whatnot, and we can\u2019t get a loan. We have gone to the bank that holds the mortgage on our one building and they won\u2019t give us a loan, we\u2019ve gone —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, wait a minute, that\u2019s what Obama says, he says that\u2019s where government needs to fix things —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: — when government isn\u2019t working you can\u2019t get a loan. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Right, right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: No, wait, so you\u2019re agreeing with Obama?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, no, I think he is the reason that we can\u2019t get the loan.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: He\u2019s done all these things, and put all these regulations, all the financial reform gobbledygook as you would call it, into place, and we can\u2019t find financing. We\u2019ve exhausted almost every bank in Rockford. We\u2019re on our last straw right now. We went another bank that we have no affiliation with, we\u2019re just grasping at straws. And the thing is, Rush, we\u2019re not a brand-new startup business. My husband has been in this business for over 30 years, we started our first expansion right before 9\/11 hit. We spent eight years digging ourselves out of that hole because the business really dropped and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me ask you a quick question. Why do you want to expand now?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, the location that we\u2019re in right now we just don\u2019t have the retail traffic. It used to be a mall, and without giving away too much stuff —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me rephrase it, let me rephrase it. Why do you want to take on more debt?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, no, we\u2019re looking to make more money for ourselves, actually. We struggle, you know, we pay our bills on time and all that but we just can\u2019t grow the business. We\u2019re just kind of at a standstill stagnant point, and we know we can make it, we\u2019ve been successful, we spent eight years digging out after 9\/11, but we know we can make it and you can\u2019t find the financing. It\u2019s so frustrating, it\u2019s just unbelievable. I\u2019m tired of this guy giving the impression to the American people that he is behind the small businessman, who does he think is doing this to us? I mean it\u2019s him, it\u2019s his tax policies, it\u2019s this health care bill, it\u2019s everything. And I guess the last point I would like to make is, as for an apology from the idiots who voted for this guy, I\u2019m not waiting for that, I\u2019m not even going to hold my breath. Instead of an apology Rush, how about a vote for Republicans or conservatives in November instead of an apology?<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, thanks very much, Jane. I appreciate it. Every time I take a call here I just can\u2019t get past the anger and the desperation that\u2019s out there. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s a farmer, a small businessperson, they want to grow, they want to expand, and they can\u2019t. And we all know why. It\u2019s frustrating itself to hear all of this.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Doug in central South Carolina, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush, dittos. You\u2019re on fire and on target as always.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I have a theory about how the regime plans to steal the midterms from us, and I\u2019m kind of hoping you\u2019ll help me out with it. As you have said the trashing of this economy is on purpose, and I believe the unemployment extension is connected to it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yep.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The regime plans on killing the economy and cooking the numbers at the same time. They want to create as many unemployed Americans as possible, while reporting the lowest number they can get away with. And if you accept the 10% unemployment number — I don\u2019t — but if you do, the Democrats are looking at having a 15 million American voting bloc of unemployed people that depend on the government for their very existence. The recent extension of unemployment runs out in October. Then they\u2019ll be pushing for another extension and they\u2019ll be painting the Republicans as the party of no.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019ll mobilize ACORN and the SEIU to scare the unemployed.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That is exactly right. That\u2019s why I said yesterday, it\u2019s just a new welfare program. Unemployment compensation benefits and their extension is just a new welfare program. It\u2019s a new entitlement.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, what I\u2019m worried about is if they hold even one chamber, America\u2019s lost, we\u2019re done, and I\u2019m just hoping that you could tell me that even with the 15 to 20 million people that they\u2019re going to be able to scare to the polls, just like they did with the elderly and Social Security, ‘If you vote Republican, they\u2019re gonna take your unemployment away,\u2019 that we\u2019re not gonna lose the momentum we have going into November.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think your fear is legitimate, but I\u2019m here to tell you that that 15 million would not be the difference. The energy that exists on the Republican side is such we are going to dwarf in turnout the Democrats, and not all those 15 million want to be unemployed. A lot of people have no desire to be in the circumstance they are. A lot of people are out of work with, they\u2019re still looking for jobs, they\u2019re frustrated all to hell they can\u2019t find them. A lot of the unemployed — I\u2019m going to hold out hope, I\u2019m going to have faith it\u2019s a majority here — a majority of them do not want to be welfare cases. Anyway, I wouldn\u2019t have any fear about this. It\u2019s a legitimate concern but I don\u2019t think that all 15 million of these unemployed are gonna sit there and want to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
