Quote of the Day

“No transaction in our modern society is completely free of government involvement. The food we eat costs less because of farm subsidies. Students attend private universities with the help of Pell Grants and Stafford loans. Our churches and temples can afford to operate in part because they are tax-exempt. And employers who offer health insurance do so because of tax incentives … Either there is no such thing as indirect funding or everything receives indirect funding, but there is no in between.” — Jessica Arons, in an essay entitled, “The World According to Stupak.” Unfortunately, it deals with the philosophy of Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) and not that of casino maverick Bob Stupak.
