Spend wisely

When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is

very careful how much he spends and how he spends it.

  When a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is

still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on.

  When a man spends someone else's money to buy something for himself, he is

very careful about what he buys, but doesn't care at all how much he spends.

  And when a man spends someone else's money on someone else, he doesn't care how much he spends or what he spends it on.

  And that's government for you
