• It seems like only yesterday that savers were dorks. They kept piggy banks. They drove last year's cars. They fished in their change purses for nickels while the superstars flashed credit cards. Today, values have changed. The new object of veneration is not money on the hoof but money in the bank - and the dorks all have it.

Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the...bell of an approaching looter.

Not a nickel of new taxes until term limits change the political culture on Capital Hill.
