Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the U.S. government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care.

Awwww.... don't worry, Rush. Scum floats!

They spent so long shouting that liberals wanted more terrorist attacks and dead troops in Iraq just to prove a point that now they think that's how normal people see the world.
