A nation dies culturally and spiritually first. Its money and its army are the last to go, but go they do once the light goes out in the nation's soul.

Congress seems to want to cure every ill known to man except unconstitutional government and high taxes.

When power is for sale, then government power should be severely limited. When power is abused, then the less power the better.

Powers once assumed are never relinquished, just as bureaucracies, once created, never die.

If we could manage our own finances the way the Congress does the nation's, we'd all be living in high cotton and eating high on the hog.

Government is inherently incompetent, and no matter what task it is assigned, it will do it in the most expensive and inefficient way possible.

It is a foolish man who believes that the status quo can be maintained indefinitely.
