Government is not the solution to the problem. Government is the problem.
-President Ronald Reagan
This one has probably already been posted in the preceding 702 pages, but it's a good one:

We're from the government, we're here to help you.
I used to love to say that when I arrived to audit a construction contractor after a large public works project.

Many Change Orders, for unforseen issues not listed in the contract, are paid on a time & materials basis, subject to audit to verify a real cost was incurred.

No receipts for the $50k of fresh wire you say you bought to replace old at that signal lights upgrade? Sorry, I'll help you draft a revised lesser reimbursement claim that omits the imaginary new wire.

Glad to help. That's what I'm here for.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” – H.L. Mencken (1880 – 1956)
