Quote of the Week

Elizabeth Williamson, Wall Street Journal, On the 110th Congress:

"Barring a burst of legislative activity after Labor Day, this group of 535 men and women will have accomplished a rare feat. In two decades of record keeping, no sitting Congress has passed fewer public laws at this point in the session -- 294 so far -- than this one. That's not to say they've been idle. On the flip side, no Congress in the same 20 years has been so prolific when it comes to proposing resolutions -- more than 1,900, according to a tally by the nonpartisan Taxpayers for Common Sense."

Plutarch warned, "The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits."
