“For who owns that car, or that washing machine, or that apartment? Not the man himself.The banks own them, the insurance companies, ultimately the State. They are his only on credit, on sufferance. Every month he lops off a bit of his life and labor and mails it to the bank, or the credit card company, or the Government. He is in thrall; and there is no foreseeable end to it.”

“.., the modern American, particularly in Texas and the Southwest, talks progressive, but he votes conservative. He assails Washington and all its works, but demands more than his share of federal money; indeed the Southwest only exists at all thanks to federal spending on water projects, without which it would go back to the desert within a year.”
Jon Manchip White, A World Elsewhere: Life in the American Southwest (Volume 8)
