Saying Congress spends like drunken Sailors is an insult to Sailors.

At least Sailors spend their OWN money....

The saying “spending like a drunken sailor” comes from the 1700s and 1800s

Proving that the author is unfamiliar with contemporary sailors.

As a former drunken sailor, I am getting very tired of this analogy.

Two points about that "drunken sailor" thing:

Drunken sailors spend their own money, and
When they run out, they stop

Off TOTUS he talks like he is half in the bag already. How long before he passes out and gets mugged by the B-girls and their pimps.

Here’s the part of the analogy that holds up, I think:

Like drunken sailors (or any drunken person, military or not), Congress has no idea or clue what they’re spending the money on.

The United States has one. It just won’t be realized until it is too late.
