Quote of the Day: 18 May 2017

"They have seen, too, that one legislative interference is but the first link of a long chain of repetitions; every subsequent interference being naturally produced by the effects of the preceding." -James Madison, The Federalist No. 44

[The nature of government to produce problems from its attempts to remedy other problems has been observed since at least the debate over the ratification of the constitution. Sadly, it appears we have not learned the lessons of history sufficiently well to be wary of governmental solutions to problems.]
