From PJ O'Rourke's All the Trouble in the World: The Lighter Side of Overpopulation, Famine, Ecological Disaster, Ethnic Hatred, Plague, and Poverty:
- You spend your money on yourself. You're motivated to get the thing you want most at the best price. This is the way middle-aged men haggle with Porsche dealers.
- You spend your money on other people. You still want a bargain, but you're less interested in pleasing the recipient of your largesse. This is why children get underwear at Christmas.
- You spend other people's money on yourself. You get what you want but price no longer matters. The second wives who ride around with the middle-aged men in the Porsches do this kind of spending at Neiman Marcus.
- You spend other people's money on other people. And in this case, who gives a s**t?
Most government spending falls into category four. Which is why the government keeps buying us Hoover Dams, B-1 bombers, raids on Waco cults, and 1972 Federal Water Pollution Control Acts.
Note: As PJ himself notes, these four ways were first described by Milton and Rose Friedman in their book, Free to Choose.

The ultimate authority rests on people who wish to demonstrate these concepts without details. Do not discount well aged details.

With a ring mold, cut small circle from the large tortillas, about 8 total. Season them with olive oil and salt and pepper. Place them on a tray and broil them until just crisp, 2 minutes.
