The government, in my judgment, cannot create money; the government can give its note, like an individual, and the prospect of its being paid determines its value.
We have the best government that money can buy.
I've always considered the government taking one out of every two dollars I earn absolute tyranny.
The President sends us a billion-page paper that shows how he would spend the money if he were spending the money. He doesn't have the authority to spend the money. He doesn't spend $1 of the money.
