holy cow!

On the same page a quote by James Madison in the same vein, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." Or as Davy Crockett said, "We have rights, as individuals, to give as much of our own money as we please to charity; but as members of Congress we have no right so to appropriate a dollar of public money." --David Crockett, Member of Congress, 1827-31, 1832-35. And the best one of all by Dick Armey, "Three groups spend other people's money: children, thieves, politicians. All three need supervision."

Ooh, I found another one, "No man's life, liberty or property are safe while the legislature is in session."
- Judge Gideon J. Tucker
