Quote of the Day: John Stossel

Filed under: Consumer Outrage, Taxes & Government — TBlumer @ 6:30 pm

On the failed attempt to reduce pork-barrel spending (HT Instapundit):

You heard what the Senate did to Tom Coburn’s attempt to impose some sanity on spending.

How do they live with themselves?

Years ago, interviewing economist Walter Williams for a show ABC News called “Greed,” I was perplexed when Williams said, “a thief is more moral than a congressman; when a thief steals your money, he doesn’t demand you thank him.”

That was silly hyperbole, I thought, but watching Congress spend, I see that I was naive and Williams was right.
