Welcome to the Eric Erickson Show podcast, Hour 2.

Hello and welcome.

It is Eric Erickson here.

The phone number 87797734-25, should you wish to be a part of this year program.

I'm actually going to jump to a phone call right here out of the gate so I don't keep

Lewis waiting.

Lewis, welcome to the Eric Erickson Show.

How are you?

Hey, Eric.

I want to talk about an old conversation that was had between Davy Crockett and an old farmer,

which the farmer told David Crockett, it's not yours to give.

And it would come down to support of this fire that happened in the town and this widow.

And it would have been easier for the congressional leaders to give a week's worth

of pay out of their own pocket than to give from the taxpayer.

And the taxpayer said he couldn't vote for David Crockett anymore because he wasn't concerned about everybody paying versus him having

to pay out of his pocket.

And that goes today with this 87,000 agents of wanting to collect all this revenue for these

government programs.

And, you know, our history just amplifies that particular conversation today

is that they're always running out of money because it's not theirs to take

and it's not theirs to give.

And there's a character who used to be on TV all the time.
