The Daily Quote
“There are elements of the GOP spending plan that cause me great concern. The belief of some on the right that America can balance the budget by cutting education, infrastructure, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and home heating assistance to the poor is tantamount to budgetary witchcraft.”

   -   Former Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-FL), Politico, 3/8/11
