Snippet: Spending and Fairness

“Some people seem to think that, if life is not fair, then the answer is to turn more of the nation’s resources over to politicians – who will, of course, then spend these resources in ways that increase the politicians’ chances of getting reelected…

“Everybody is talking about how we are going to pay for the huge national debt, but nobody seems to be talking about the runaway spending which created that record-breaking debt. In other words, the big spenders get political benefits from handing out goodies, while those who resist giving them more money to spend will be blamed for sending the country off the “fiscal cliff.””
-Thomas Sowell, 26-Dec-12 (Link)
