The Republican Jobs Program, According to Rush

It's certainly true that businesses aren't hiring these days because they don't know how Obamacare is going to affect them...although I guess it's as simple as businesses dropping their offer of health care entirely.

Republicans are all about creating jobs. Republicans are capitalists and it's capitalism that produces jobs and creates jobs. And capitalism, by the way, will take care of the temporary need for firefighters and whatever in Minot and in Arizona. Government doesn't create jobs. Government transfers wealth around. It doesn't create anything. It destroys it, pure and simple. At the federal level the Republicans haven't had the votes to pass anything that they've proposed since 2007. Since 2007 everything that's happened in this country to cause us to engage in all this economic misery has been because of Democrats: Pelosi, Reid, then Obama taking office in 2009. Republicans have not had the votes to stop anything, and they haven't had the votes to pass anything yet. But the November 10 elections are an indication of what's coming, because in the November 10 elections people en masse in this country, federal all the way down to state elections said they don't want any more of what the Democrats are doing.

Every cut of federal or state regulations is a jobs program. The Bush tax cut extension was a jobs program. Even Obama said so. Last December in the lame duck, Obama himself said, because of the state of the economy we cannot afford to sunset the Bush tax cuts for two more years. What Obama was saying was, because of my reelection, I can't afford to raise taxes right now. So what he's doing to coalesce his base, he is promising his fringe base that once he's reelected, he will raise taxes on the rich. He's not gonna do it now because it would further harm the economy, which would further harm his reelection chances, which are already in serious doubt as it is.

The Republicans are all about job creation. The Republicans are all about freedom. The Republicans are all about liberty, conservative Republicans particularly. Conservative Republicans are going to be the ones responsible for reversing this course. Conservative Republicans are going to save this country. Scott Walker in Wisconsin -- I talked about it yesterday -- just by requiring state workers to pay a little bit into their own pensions and health care, has turned a $400,000 deficit in one school district into a one-and-a-half-million-dollar surplus overnight by cutting state spending. Obama says you can't cut your way to prosperity. You must certainly can, and we must. We can't afford what we're spending now.
