WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh May 15, 2020 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.800 Business is large and small, and many parts of America 0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:06.399 is still on lockdown due to the virus. The unemployment 0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:10.240 rate horrific in some states. Democrat governors appear to be 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:14.160 doing everything they can to make the shutdown last as 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.439 long as possible, while at the same time begging for 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.680 a federal bailout to fix their budgets, even though their 0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:25.320 states have been mismanaged for decades. Now, four Democrats senators, 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:29.880 including Amy Klobisher and Folca Hottas, are trying to use 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.519 the economic shutdown as an excuse to stick it to business. 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.080 The Democrats senators wrote a letter to the FED Chairman 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:42.240 Jerome Powell and the Treasury Secretary Steve Manuchin. Senators want 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:46.040 Powell and Manucha to use their broad authority and discretion 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.600 to stop big companies that got bailout money from engaging 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.160 in mergers and acquisitions. They claim that this anti business, 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:59.400 anti capitalist maneuver mergers is going to help the little guy. 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.959 I've given the long lockdown. A whole lot of businesses 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.000 are in deep doo doo, and the only way some 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.280 of them may be able to stay afloat is to 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.440 merge with another bigger company. The last thing American business 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.840 owners need right now is a bunch of Democrats who 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.160 don't know the first thing about meeting a payroll, telling 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.559 them what they can and can't do as they try 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:22.160 to survive.
