“The government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.”
“I think the best way to get a job is to get a job.” “If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it’s free.” “I’m not a libertarian. I’m a conservative.” “The only thing worse than a politician is a politician who thinks he’s a comedian.” |
