Here are some facts we haven't put together yet:
1) Rush made sure 22 million listeners knew of RIF possibilities, since most or all did not before that caller.
2) Which would mean the enemy's 22 mil don't know, either, until now
What would be the gain of rattling the enemy and all RIFable departments when CINC hasn't mentioned it? To pressure Chancy to fold? Why would them folding and 5bil funded be anywhere near as significant as a permanent 30% RIF? Where was Rush trying to take this?
