Charley Reese said this: "Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. If both Democrats and Republicans are against high taxes, why do we have high taxes? If they're all against deficits, why do we have deficits? If all of them are against inflation, why do we have inflation?
"You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does. You and I don't have the constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code or set fiscal policy. Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does.
"One President, 100 senators, 435 representatives in congress and nine Supreme Court justices; 545 human beings out of more than 300 million are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. These 545 people spend most of their time telling us that what they did is not their fault."
