The myth of federal government inefficiency

Another quote that some here may think is corny, but I like.

“Watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves” is a saying that is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin. However, it was actually first coined by William Lowndes, a former Secretary to the Treasury of Great Britain, who said the nearly identical, “Take care of the pence, and the pounds will take care of themselves”]
