Bill Clinton collected $12 million for his memoirs.
Hilary Clinton got $8 million for hers.
That's $20 million for the memories of two people, who for years have repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.
The purpose of government is not to help but to get in the way. People are spending money - get in the way. People are making cars - get in the way. People are buying medical insurance - get in the way. People are exercising free will - get in the way. People are attacking the country - get in the way. That is the function of government.
