RUSH SUGGESTS *TWO* PLANS -- Just a Minute for Friday 01-30-09

Howdy again at the end of the last week in January…

Don’t forget – wear your beaver hat Monday… it’s ground-hog day. If the Li’l earthy rodent sees his shadow… six *more* weeks of winter are reportedly in store. Feb. 2^nd is also Candlemas day… blessings on candles still needed for the still short winter days. The celebration of Groundhog Day began with Pennsylvania's earliest settlers. They brought with them the legend of Candlemas Day, which states, "For as the sun shines on Candlemas Day, so far will the snow swirl in May..." Punxsutawney, PA held its first Groundhog Day about 1887 – Legend has it Punxsutawney Phil was named after King Phillip. Prior to being called Phil, he was just called Br'er Groundhog.

Well so much for looking to next week – what about the Porkulus plan – as Rush calls it. He put his full article on the op-ed page of the Wall Street Journal yesterday. We have a boiled down version (3 hours concentrated into sixty seconds) – I hope you get to hear it. The link is posted below if you’re not within radio range near the upstate of South Carolina.

We’re always open to hearing from you via e-mail, USPS mail (I hate to call it snail-mail) or carrier pigeon… (although they’re rare these days). We’d like to have more folks in our radio family – the folks over at Playfair particularly will be happy if you write.

Let us hear what you think of Rush’s plan… if you want to know more… I guess you can get a copy of Thursday’s WSJ and look at the page opposite the editorials. I think he’s pretty proud of his plan.

Cordially, IN HIM

RUSH SUGGESTS TWO PLANS

Just A Minute – Rush Limbaugh’s PORCULOUS plan was on the Wall St. Journal’s op-ed page yesterday. Boiled down to JUST A MINUTE -- divide election response roughly 54 – 46 and see which works best. Under Obama-Limbaugh PORCULOUS: $486 billion goes to infrastructure and pork defined by the Prez: $414 Billion – goes to tax cuts defined by Rush … watch the results.

“This is bipartisanship! It would satisfy the American people's wishes, as polls currently note; and it would also serve as a measurable test as to which approach best stimulates job growth.” He says, and continues, “I say, cut the U.S. corporate tax rate -- at 35%, among the highest of all industrialized nations -- in half. Suspend the capital gains tax for a year to incentivize new investment, after which it would be reimposed at 10%.”

Rush’s conclusion: “There's no reason to tell the American people their future is bleak. There's no reason, as the administration is doing, to depress their hopes. There's no reason to insist that recovery can't happen quickly… it can!”

OK How ‘bout it Mr. President?
