Quote of the day

Drunken sailors generally spend cash that they’ve already earned themselves, rather than running up debt to be paid by others. If our politicians started spending like drunken sailors, it would in fact represent a dramatic improvement.

The problem is that politicians don't earn anything. The US version spends their days looking for other methods to self promote and receive bribes (campaign contributions).

It's the same here. We really need politicians who spend their time drinking and womanising rather than legislating.
