Ron PaulIf people are smokers, don't they have to pay more? Sometimes, you get your insurance cheaper if you are a nonsmoker.

Ron PaulEverybody complains about pork, but members of Congress keep spending because voters do not throw them out of office for doing so. The rotten system in Congress will change only when the American people change their beliefs about the proper role of government in our society.

We must reject unlimited government and reassert the constitutional rule of law if we hope to halt the spending orgy.
