America, what's it gonna take for you to be so fed up and disgusted with having your common sense and intelligence insulted the way this government and this media do daily?
"We get worked up over $44 billion, that's the total amount of money, that will not be spent, that was scheduled to be spent this year. And in truth, we're gonna spend more this year than we spent last year. We're just not gonna spend as much as was projected. It's all baseline budgeting. There is no real cut below a baseline of zero. There just isn't. And yet, here they come, sucking us in, roping us in. Panic here, fear there. Crisis. Destruction. No meat inspection. No cops, no teachers, no firefighters. No air traffic control. I'm sorry, my days of getting roped in to all this are over. We've had the media play along with all this. The ruling class, both parties, play along with all this. It's insulting. I don't know how else to describe it."
"It's the same stuff. It's the same threats; it's the same arguments over and over. Nothing ever changes. We just keep spending more money, we create more dependency, we get more and more irresponsible, one crisis to the next, all of them manufactured, except for the real crisis which nobody ever addresses, and that is: we can't afford any of this.
UPDATE: Rush explains his comments further on Friday...
Then suddenly on Thursday, shortly after Rush's initial comments, the media began to change their tune...
