Carl Gibson v. Rush Limbaugh on jobs and Republicans

I call into Rush Limbaugh as "Keith from Galveston, TX" to remind him that Republicans are depriving people of good jobs to protect millionaires from a 0.5% tax increase. Rush says gov't doesn't create jobs. I remind Rush that the private sector HAS been growing jobs in line with what's expected from the private sector during an economic recovery, and that the real lag has been in the public sector, thanks to crushing budget cuts handed down by Republicans. Rush flips out, calls me an idiot, a tool, and garbage, accuses me of reading from a script, and hangs up.

"There's no federal spending that can create private sector jobs." Limbaugh's crazy. The CCC didn't create jobs and wealth? And what's the big deal about private sector jobs, anyway? A government job isn't a job? Rush gives away his real motivation when he says, "You can't take money out of the private sector . . . ." This is his contribution to the anti-tax propaganda. He had better be more concerned about people and the economy than his taxes..

Rush, owned, hangs up on Carl and flies into a sputtering ad homen spasm.

LOL

@Zonly1 Some good suggestions. Now you sound more like the Occupy folks. You should learn some Keynesian economics before criticizing it. But now you're showing some sense

I think you'll agree kicking the can down the road with same ol business as usual. Must get back economic fundamentals ; let the market regulate equilibrium; including int rates(regulate money flow), getting back to the gold standard, reinstate glass stegal and the uptick rule. Consumers are over leveraged on their credit, get rid of CRA & lower cc's.

Financial systems must be investigated; esp HFT'er(2% of traders making 70%+ vol trades) and dark pool(non recorded transactions) trading.

@Zonly1 There's no point arguing with you. You're as arrogant as you are ignorant. We're probably going to try austerity. We're half-trying it now. As a result, the economy's not going anywhere. With austerity, it'll get worse. People aren't spending. They're practicing private austerity. That's good for them, but bad for the economy. Sooner or later, the gov't will spend hugely, probably on things most people won't like. Do you really want to bring down the U.S. government? Or just Obama?

@keepaopenmind no you can edjumacate b/c you are stuck with failed classroom theory and the result is Barry Soetoro has spent $4.8 billion/day..over 3x times the bush era and accelerating but thanks for trying to explain Socialist/liberal failed policy.

Typical socialist dogma..if we raise the rates it will solve the problem ...try explaining that to the GE's Jeffery Elmels of the world who sent jobs out of here with stimulus douchebag and paid no taxes, 14 bil profit.

Rush controls the golden EIB microphone. He cuts off anyone he can't argue with. He has a good vocabulary and speaks easily, but he's really pretty dumb. He's one of the blind guides leading the blind.

[keepaopenmind]

Rush is now just a tool of the rich. He has a following, who're as ideological, and wrong, as he is.

Gov'ts don't create jobs except for the actual gov't workers, eh? Well that's creating a job. But when the gov't hires GE to build a bomb or a bomber plane, that's not creating a job? When the gov't hires some corporation to build a space shuttle, that's not creating a job? Etc. etc., etc.

When he was in Sacramento, Rush used to claim he had half his brain tied behind his back. It shows.
