Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. — P.J. O’Rourke The dust hasn’t totally settled on the legislative session ... we don’t yet have the final fiscal results of Gov. Steve Bullock’s vetoes. But the picture’s beginning to take shape, and for those who believe in limited government and slower bureaucracy growth, that picture isn’t pretty.

"If a(n insurance) mandate was the solution, we could try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody buy a house." — Sen. Barack Obama, 2007. Growing up in a Montana family of 14, my parents taught us most important life lessons. One lesson driven home repeatedly: If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
