Thought of the Day

Brought to you by Thomas Sowell:

"When politicians propose some hugely expensive new program and are asked how the government is going to pay for it, a standard ploy over the years has been to claim that they will pay for it by eliminating "waste, fraud and abuse." At a recent town hall meeting, a citizen raised the obvious question: If you can do that, why haven't you done it already?"

Good one! The "waste, fraud, abuse" line is so overused that it has been reduced to an acronym, WFA.
