“Few people are content with Thomas Jefferson’s kind of government. They want Hillary Clinton’s kind. But as it grows, government quickly reaches the point of declining marginal utility.

It remained with its rightful owners: neither stolen, nor redistributed. The zombies were short $24 billion. But the productive sector was ahead. And what were the feds going to do with that $24 billion?”
