Potent Quotables (updated periodically)

  • "If you like sausages and laws, you should never watch either one of them being made." -- Otto von Bismarck
  • "God who gave us life, gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever." -- Thomas Jefferson
  • "The best way to prove a stick is crooked is to lay a straight one beside it" -- FW Boreham
  • "There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who walk into a room and say, 'There you are' and those who say, 'Here I am'" -- Abigail Van Buren
  • "It was not political rhetoric, mass rallies or poses of moral indignation that gave the people a better life. It was capitalism." -- Thomas Sowell

To my son, and his son, and his son:

I'm sorry. I'm sorry the government of my day is full of nitwits and socialists. I'm sorry that on my son's 2nd birthday, his future was irrevocably made a little less bright.
I'm sorry. I hope that one day you will be able to crawl out from the crushing mountain of debt and taxes you will be responsible for, and you can forgive us for being stupid with your future.

Here's the full list, broken down by category, of what $318,723,307,000 (plus interest) has bought the people of today, at the expense of the people of tomorrow.
Here are the tax cuts, credits, bonds, and grants, totaling $480,533,000,000 (estimated).

Remember, not one single member of congress actually read the entire bill before voting on it. There were a grand total of three Republican votes in all of congress.

I need a drink.
