Government is not reason, it is not eloquence it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.
My favorite quote from George Washington.
To be fair though, that is a MAJOR consolation. Those who have not been conditioned to view gov’t benefits as a lifeline will pull through ok - certainly they will do just fine relative to those who ahve been conditioned to think they are entitled to everyone else’s money.
