I believe Victor Davis Hanson said, "Spending a trillion dollars shows that one is compassionate. Cutting a billion dollars shows that one is heartless."

So long as politicians and voters care about feeling good about themselves, "compassion" will win ever time.

“Spending a trillion dollars shows that one is compassionate. Cutting a billion dollars shows that one is heartless.”

Of course that’s true! Thanks to public school math, everybody knows that a Billion is MUCH bigger than a Trillion. Duh!
