When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about 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.

And when a man spends someone else's money on someone else, he does't care how much he spends or what he spends it on. And that's government for you.
