Stop the Smear Campaign About "Congress Spending Like Drunken Sailors"

People have compared congressional legislation to spending like drunken sailors. It's time to stop the name-calling. Drunken Sailors are nothing like congressmen. There are important differences:

• The drunken sailor spends all HIS money. The congressman spends other people's money.
  
• The drunken sailor spends ALL his money. The congressman spends more than even exists.
• The worst thing thing that can happen is the drunken sailor ends up with a big tattoo. When congress botches up, the taxpayer doesn't even get that.
  
• The drunken sailor is drunk. What's the congressman's excuse?

So the next time you hear that, just assume it is some political spin doctor trying to raise their stature a notch.
