Subject:      daff-uh-zit 2

    From Rush on Clinton, actually I guess more of a democratic response
to the daff-uh-zit increase, 01/08/93 ------ (2 of 2) ----------------->

    Rush: I want to show you a chart that we put together using actual
numbers announced by the Bush administration yesterday, and compare two
numbers that the Clinton campaign used during their most recent campaign,
the presidential campaign. Now the reason I'm going to use Clinton's
numbers, is because THOSE are the numbers that he used to base his
promises and his ideas.

    Now remember what Bill Clinton said. He said that he would half the
deficit, I mean cut it in half, after his first 4 years. Now he's saying
because of $18 billion dollars that they didn't know about, that that
plan is just scrubbed. We're going to spend $1.39 TRILLION dollars. Are
we not paying enough taxes, my friends? We're going to pay them $1.39
trillion dollars, that's how much congress is going to get to spend and
they say we're under taxed?

    And $18 billion dollars is just going to... You know how long it
takes to spend $18 billion dollars in our government? How long do you
think it takes? It takes 90 MINUTES. It takes an hour and 1/2 to spend
$18 billion, and for that the Clinton campaign is "Oh my gosh, the
country's going to hell in a hand basket. Worse than we thought."

    I tell you what this is folks. This is nothing more than a recipe for
them to be able to throw out all of the stuff they said and come a new
with things they didn't say, more taxes, more spending, what ever it is
they think they want to do.

    Now the 1990 budget deal was designed to do what? Remember that
thing? That's what got Bush in trouble, got everybody in trouble,
including us. The 1990 budget deal was supposed to reduce the deficit to
$50 billion dollars by 1995. The deficit has gone UP BY 2, it's expanded,
IT'S DOUBLED, because of that. And Clinton, during his campaign, said he
wanted to do even MORE of that.

    We warned you on this show. We warned you, you didn't listen, you
thought the economy was rotten. It's not as bad as it was thought to be.
We know in fact that the recession ended 21 months ago now. Let me show
you now this chart. Take a look at this chart with me if you will. 1994,
this is the, by the way that word, that is the word as pronounced by Jim
Sasser, we're going to show you in a minute. He can't say deficit, he
says daff-uh-zit.

             Daff-uh-zit Projections in Billions
              Bush                       Clinton

    1994      $292(was to be $274)       $309

    1998      $320                       $426

    Those people ought to be happy. These numbers that Bush announced are
less than the projections they used in the campaign to tell you what they
were going to do to fix the economy. And yet, they come forth today and
say, "Did you see? That bunch of liars, they didn't tell us the truth.
Those meanies."

    And I don't know how you can leave Congress out of this equation.
These guys will leave Congress out of it because Congress is led by the
Democrats. Note this is all Bush's fault. (MAKS> That's how the local
newspaper was written up.) I'll tell you something, Mr. Clinton, your
problem, you and Mr. Stephanopoulos, your problem in your term, your big
enemy is not the economy, your big enemy is going to be Congress. Wait
till you find out.

    MAKS> Seems to me that's what George Bush kept saying over and over
again. "Change Congress." Well they did that as well, put a welfare cheat
in there who goes to Africa with a man accused of sex harassment and
wanted to get elected because of Anita Hill and what she went through,
Carol Mosley.

    Rush: Now, here is Jim Sasser, getting on his band wagon about how
unfair it is, and how tough it is for Mr. Clinton to do his job. (as a
whiner)

    Sasser: "The budget daff-uh-zit is growing at an alarming rate. And
the task that lies ahead of president-elect Clinton and Congress, is far,
far, more difficult that when Clinton made his first pledge to cut the
daff-uh-zit in half, in 1997."

    Rush: You see he says daff-uh-zit. (MAKS> And he does! :-)) It's $18
billion dollars. It's FAR more difficult. You know there's a simple
solution here. If you guys are serious about this, Senator Sassor, and
president-elect Clinton. So the deficit is $18 billion more. Why don't
you just cut that figure in half? Why do you have to scrub THE WHOLE PLAN
now?

    You see, we've caught you. You think you're riding in on a crest of
love and support, and you don't have it. People are going to be
scrutinizing what you say. Here's Senator Sasser with cut 2.

    Sasser: I think it's going to be VERY difficult for the
president-elect to get to the point of cutting the daff-uh-zit in half by
1997.

    Rush: It's going to be very difficult now to cut the daff-uh-zit in
half. Why? It's only $18 billion more? AND, it is at least $30 billion
less than your own projections!

    Why.... This is.... I'm so happy to have this show and there's part
of me that loves the fact that those guys won, folks, because of this...
(pointing to the story...)

    MAKS> End. Boy, the base file here is 200 lines. That's enough.
