WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh April 17th 2018

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Are you a retired government employee with a pension. Well,

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the New York Times is reporting on a big problem

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:11.360
<v Speaker 1>in places like Oregon, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Kentucky because

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>government employee pension costs are out of control. And you

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>know what that means. Now, these states and a lot

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>of cities are having a hard time paying for day

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to day operations and basic services because they're paying retirees

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>so much. State run pension plans are far outpacing economic growth,

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 1>which is really good. It's not uncommon for plans to

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>pay retirees a hundred thousand dollars a year and up

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>for not working for the rest of their lives. And

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>take the case of the University of Oregon football coach

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>who was hired in stayed with the team thirteen years.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Today he draws forty six thousand dollars a month in

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 1>taxpayer funded pension benefits. It's a good deal for him,

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>no doubt. Now. The upshot, says one government official, is

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>that state governments are no longer trying to do more

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>with less. They're trying to do less with less. What

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a concept truth is. If they had decided back then

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to do with less liberalism, they wouldn't be forced to

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>do with less money now, and pensioners wouldn't be quaking

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>in their boots over ending up with nothing somewhere down

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the road. Rush has just made his spectacular web service,
