Congress can give every American a pony (If it breeds enough ponies)
Excerpt: “What if it turned out that the government really could give
everyone a pony — and a chicken and car? That is, so long as we could
breed enough ponies and chickens and manufacture enough cars. The cars
and the food have to come from somewhere; the money is conjured out of
thin air, more or less.”
