“Let the Hollywood crowd write those checks. Let academia write them. Let Acorn write those checks. Let members of Congress past and present write them. Let Mr. and Mrs. Obama, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, and Mr. Carter write a few with their book royalties. Let checks be written by the faceless AND NOT SO FACELESS bureaucrat straphangers in DC and in statehouses whose jobs depend on deficits. Let the unions write them with dues rather than funding election campaigns. Let leftist bloggers write one as a rite of passage. Let the media write some. Let General Electric write checks. Let the Republicans who let us down write some as well. And let them be written by all who believe deficits should be funded with someone else’s money. Then we shall see what we can afford. I don’t have any more checks in my checkbook.”
