   Actually, the original was, "A hundred million here, a hundred
million there.."

   I believe he said it during a debate about expressing the federal
budget resolution to the nearest hundred million instead of the
nearest $10,000.  (For those not familar with the details of US
government budgeting, the budget bill is where most of the infighting
takes place, but the appropriations bills actually parcel out the
money.)
