Rush Quote Of The Day

Remember Eddie Murphy’s famous line in the hillbilly bar scene from 48 Hrs., “Let’s see… what we can fuck with next?” Now (again) lets apply this to Barack Obama and his inexperienced, meddling, do-as-I-say cronies.

Here it is from state-run AP: “The Obama administration says executive compensation must be better managed to prevent the sort of short-term risk-taking that it’s so known for.” Now, if we’re going to cap people’s pay — and make no mistake, while they deny it, it’s what they’re doing — if they’re going to issue “guidelines calling on publicly held companies to link compensation to long-term performance, not short-term gains so they can eliminate risk-taking,” then let’s do the same thing with people who work for the government.

Notice how this administration routinely exempts and/or shields themselves from what they impose on us.

Let’s cap government pay at $100,000 any year there is a deficit in the annual United States budget. Let’s also include all of the imputed income for benefits of any kind federal employees get, from their cars to their health care to whatever it is. We taxpayers are taking a huge risk each and every day turning over the finances of this country to this current crop of leaders. And when they blow it — and they have blown it — it is an utter disaster.

Do you realize nothing Obama has done has worked? Nothing has succeeded. And now they come along and they want to nationalize health care? The same bunch that, with their stimulus package, gave us record unemployment. Almost two million people are unemployed since the stimulus bill.

The same people who promised a thriving, burgeoning economy, with people going back to work, now want to take their expertise — the same people who helped destroy General Motors and Chrysler, the same people who told private sector investors, “Pfft you!” The same people who have botched everything they have tried now tell us, only they can administer health care.

So we cap government pay: a hundred grand a year, any time there’s a deficit, any time they don’t fulfill what they claim that they’re going to do. You talk about risk-taking? You talk about damaging? This administration is damaging the entire US economy. They are damaging and attacking the US private sector. They ought not be rewarded for it, and if any federal employee leaves government after a budget deficit year, they get no pension. I mean, if we’re going to start doing this stuff in the private sector, then let’s apply the same rules to people in the government.

That’ll never happen, but nice throwing it out there anyway.
