No Sacrifice Needed

While the costs of Hurricane Katrina for US federal government may exceed 200 billion dollars, no is calling for spending cuts to offset this expenditure. No one but Senator Tom Coburn.

That pesky Capraesque gnat continues to wrongly believe that government should be responsible to the people it theoretically serves, that it should spend only what takes in. Doesn't he realize that it's far better to behave like five-year-olds, thinking money magically comes from thin air?

Fortunately, no one in Congress is listening to him.
