“I’ve yet to hear a defence minister say, ‘We can’t bomb that country because we’ve exceeded our budget.’ When we want to bomb Syria, we can find it. When we want to refurbish Westminster, we can find it. But when it comes to giving our pensioners their pension, we cannot do it? I just don’t accept that whatsoever.” –Mhairi Black, SNP MP

“If you want to bomb somebody, there’s remarkably little discussion about how much it might cost. But when you have a discussion about whether or not we can assist suffering people, then suddenly we become very cost-conscious.” –Andrew J. Bacevich, American historian
