Sounds like Hillary when she comes across taxpayer loot.

Mystery man throws his money away... literally! 21:44pm 20th June 2006
A town-centre scrum erupted when a mystery man hurled what is thought to be thousands of pounds in the air.
Passers-by dashed across the street to fill their pockets after he shouted: 'Who wants free money?'
People were seen scurrying to pick up the bank notes - some on their hands and knees - at the pedestrian crossing in Alexandra Road, Aberystwyth, mid Wales.
Stunned shopkeeper John Morris, 55, caught the chaos on the CCTV camera outside his fishing-tackle shop about 11am.
He said: "I was standing in the door and suddenly I saw all these notes.
"I thought it was a joke - I couldn't believe it. "The money landed on the floor and people were looking at it.
"Then they were bundling it in their pockets. I have never seen anything like it before."
The man, who was wearing a red Welsh rugby jersey, disappeared as people dived in to grab the cash.
"No-one seems to know where he came from," Mr Morris added.
Some quick-fingered people he spoke to made off with hundreds of pounds.
He said: "I've met a few of them today - that's how I knew about it being genuine, because one said he banked the money.
"Lots of people kept it and ran off. I was just standing in the door and watched what was happening."
BBC Online said: "Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed a man from Aberystwyth had thrown a sum of money in the air on Alexandra Road before driving away."
A police spokeswoman said officers were investigating a motoring offence in connection with the incident.
"Who wants free money?"
Sounds like Hillary when she comes across taxpayer loot.

THEME FROM THE MACIC CHRISTIAN
Paul McCartney w/ Elton John
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Make your mind up fast
If you want it anytime, I can give it
But you better hurry 'cause it may not last
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
Will you walk away from a fool and his money
If you want it here it is, come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's going fast
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Make your mind up fast
If you want it anytime, I can give it
But you better hurry 'cause it may not last
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch
Will you walk away from a fool and his money, sonny
If you want it here it is, come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You better hurry 'cause it's going fast
Fool and his money, sonny
If you want it here it is, come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You better hurry 'cause it's going fast
