RUSH: So tonight President Obama calls the people's representatives together to tell them to ignore those that elected them. That's what's on tap tonight. How's that for an authoritarian? He calls for a joint session of the US Congress, those who represent the people of the "57 states," and he is essentially going to make a plea to them to ignore the people who put 'em in office. If Obama is he'll give a speech that's so persuasive the elected representatives of the people will ignore the specific instructions of the electorate. Not only that, the president will also convince lawmakers to add trillions of dollars of debt to trillions of dollars of debt with the next step being trillions of dollars of tax increases heaped on the very people who didn't want socialized medicine to begin with.

And if everything goes to plan tonight, Congress will make it the law of the land to deny health care to their fellow man. Death panels for the people who put them in office. This can't be happening, except that it is. We have the money to insure those that can't afford their own insurance and are legally here in the country. We could either have the feds pay for private health insurance policies with something akin to food stamps or we can set up charities to fund privately held policies -- and if those charities couldn't raise enough money, that would trigger supplemental payments from the federal government. Let's raise the current ceiling on charitable contributions. Let the private sector take care of these people through purchasing insurance policies from the private sector. What a great charity that would be! A win-win-win: larger deductions for all charitable giving.
