[That's] $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic.”

“Benedict Arnold was a war hero, wounded in battle--before he turned against his country. Hitler was likewise a decorated and wounded veteran of the First World War. Being a war hero is not a lifetime...exempt[ion]...from responsibility for what you do thereafter.”
