Deficit

It was Everett Dirksen who commented about the spending getting out of hand. On the Senate floor he said, "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money." Now we're talking a trillion here, and a trillion there! So now, you have to tax people more, but they're unemployed! And Uncle Sam can't tax unemployment benefits. And since unemployment benefits have been extended, it really isn't all that bad. When you get up in the morning, you're already at work!
