This parallels the oft-told stories about lottery winners who manage to squander their fortune in a surprisingly short time.

Sad.

Sounds a lot like a liberal congress.

"This parallels the oft-told stories about lottery winners who manage to squander their fortune in a surprisingly short time."

And then there's the truly good folks who show up now and than ...

In 2010, Canadian couple Allen and Violet Large won a $11.2 million Lotto prize. Violet Large was enduring treatments for cancer, and the couple decided to give away most of their fortune to family, friends, hospitals, churches, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army and even their local fire department. Their logic was pretty simple: "What you never had, you never miss," Violet said. They truly prove that the real prize of life has nothing to do with money. "That money that we won was nothing," Allen said. "We have each other."
