Cato Institute intern John Thrasher sends a letter home (found on The Colorado Freedom Report):
I must admit that I am somewhat taken with the city. It is worlds apart from my environs in Boulder and not a day goes by where I don't long to be in Colorado, but Colorado might as well be on Mars. The concerns of the people in Colorado are not the concerns of the people here. Sure, everyone still needs food here, they pine for love in the same way, and we all watch the same movies and news shows, but there is something else, something different: all the money is here. The economy is never bad in D.C. It used to be said that all roads led to Rome. It would be more accurate now to say that all the money leads to D.C.
