I'm all over the place, and I consider myself a bit of a scrounger: 'What will I do next, so I'm not broke?'
If we can't have the courage to tell our constituents, hey, we've got to cut back, then if we can point to something and say, I would like to vote for more benefits for you, but this balanced budget amendment or statutory spending cap or whatever the device is, is preventing me from doing it.
If I have learned one thing in life, it is never to take any man's own estimate of himself. He could very well be mistaken.
