Sen. Nelson:  Some Wisconsin Democrats want to spend $1.6 Billion dollars to buy land in my honor! *

Sen. Proxmire:  Why is it that nobody ever offers to cut spending on things like that in my honor? *

Sen. Nelson:  Good question.  We were both Democrats.  Of course I was also a Governor.

Sen. Proxmire:  Wisconsin Governors love to tax and spend don't they?

Sen. Nelson:  It's not like we have to pay the bill.

Sen. Proxmire:  My point exactly.
