Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. - Charley Reese

But regardless of whose fault it is, most politicians today are not human beings. You want to pry open their mouths and shout into the darkness, 'Hello! Is there a human being in there?' Buried under all that lust for office, all that fear of offending a contributor? I know there must be.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices — 545 human beings out of the 235 million — are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

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.
