Despicable Republicans Join Democrats to Blast Trump Budget
RushLimbaugh.com ^ | 5/24/2017 | Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: I mean, yeah, the Democrats are doing what they’re doing, and it’s undeniable. But Trump’s budget. This is absurd. This is outrageous. McCain and Lindsey Graham pronouncing it dead on arrival before it shows up. The media — you wouldn’t believe — the media is accusing Trump of outright indecency by suggesting economic growth of 3%, such a thing is not possible. It’s irresponsible to make people think that it is. That Trump’s budget’s gonna kill people with all these cuts. There aren’t any cuts in the Trump budget.

As always, all there are is reductions in the rate of growth. There are no cuts. Well, look. There might be some genuine cuts at the National Endowment for the Arts, and there might be some serious cuts over at the EPA, but in general there aren’t any real cuts. There are major reductions in spending, no question about that. But the cuts are nevertheless reductions in the rate of growth. They are not below-the-line cuts.

Take a look at what’s happening with Obamacare. This is a flat-out joke, what’s happening. Or I should say what’s not happening with it. Where are Trump’s own buddies? Where are the Republicans here on the budget? You know, it’s a fine budget. The New York Times has a story here about it. “Trump’s Problematic Math: Budget Plan Adds Growth, but Doesn’t Subtract Cost.”

And look at this. “When the government –” who wrote this? Binyamin Appelbaum, clearly demonstrating economic ignorance here. He says, “When the government cuts taxes, it collects less money. That is the purpose of a tax cut. But Mr. Trump’s budget does not include any hint of a decrease in federal revenue.”

Post Trump comes the reckoning in the Republican party. Trump the pragmatist and sometime conservative has shown the GOP for the liars they are. They are big government, tax, borrow and spend liberals. I really don’t see the Republican party going much further past a second Trump term because they have essentially become 1970’s-1980’s big government Democrats at this point. The election of Trump just brought on a reprieve from it’s coming crack up the way the Democrats are currently cracking up.

Yeah, it used to be Democrats who declared a Republican budget DOA. Now it’s the Republicans. Trump needs to tell them that he will run a Trump Party Loyalist in the district or state of every congressman who votes against his budget priorities and Obamacare repeal.

I bet President Trump will privately, quietly and discretely say a number of things to these repub quislings.

All Democrats and lots of Republicans need to be primaried.

Also, where are all the lists of advertisers for lefties shows?

If the Republicans don’t change their attitude and really start supporting Pres. Trump they might as well not even run for office in 2018. It will be a total bloodbath.

This is the Uniparty at work. Trump needs to organize a new American party.

He will have to, and back it up with a PAC and recruiting of candidates in select places. That will get their attention. He will probably need to veto whatever comes from Congress, and then he will need to really push to avoid an override.

Did Graham and McCain uncouple before they made their statement?

Trump should start out by again stopping all Federal government hiring except for military and keep it in place until someone gives him his budget.

If they refuse, his hiring freeze would bring lots of money back to the US Treasury.

Get intelligence on these turd burglars and show them. They need to resign. They are not clean. McQuisling has been lucky once before with Keating. Find his weakness.

In the Game of Thrones, despair is a greater threat than the most formidable foe you shall ever face.

This is no time to go wobbly, George.

They are Democrats in R jerseys.

Alexander, Corker, Flake, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Gardner, Toomey, Capito, Fischer, Collins, Wicker are all Cheap Labor Express Republicans.

Remove them from office before they give away our country.

The stench of the Republican establishment will be taught a lesson.

DJT is in to win, and I do not think he will take no for an answer. He will work around them.

Linda and Juan, contrary to their own opinions, are not the final word.
