- The exact quote follows (and I'm dead certain about it, because I typed it into
- my fortune file with my own hot little hands):
-
- "The transportation bill had over $5 billion worth of special local projects
- and favors attached to it, lamprey-like, by various congresspersons. But this
- is good, because these projects will CREATE JOBS. See, when the GOVERNMENT
- spends money, it creates jobs; whereas when the money is left in the hands of
- TAXPAYERS, God only knows what they do with it. Bake it into pies, probably.
- Anything to avoid creating jobs."
