Let me define for you a very interesting job. Suppose you were offered a position in which you had no limits on the amount of money you could spend, and you also had no limits on the kinds of things you could acquire with that money. What a wonderful position that would be, right?

Now you may think the position not of this world, but it is. The position is that of a United States Congressman or Senator. I suspect that your skepticism comes from your view that money does not go on trees and that sooner or later someone will have to pay for all the lavish spending. You are right. To quote Margaret Thatcher, “the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.â€
