"The numbers are astonishing. Congress is now spending money like a drunken sailor. And I've never known a sailor drunk or sober with the imagination that this Congress has." -- Senator John McCain.

As the son of a drunken sailor, I'm not a fan of the analogy. Still, it's nice to see someone in Congress recognize that Congress and President Bush have been on a political vote-buying spending spree. While the rest of us have had to tighten our belts to ride out the economy, Congress has been spending money on steel tariffs, farm subsidies, federalization of the TSA, and "free" prescription drugs. They have even voted themselves a raise; all of which hard working Americans will be paying off for years to come.
