There is a Ringo quote all over the internet: Everything government touches turns to crap. Does anyone know the origins of this quote?

Ringo was the origin, probably. Heheh, sorry, I don’t actually know.

For anyone interested, I found the source of the quote:

 

“They can’t make anything work. Buses, trains. None of them work,” Ringo told Beatles biographer Hunter Davies in 1967. “Everything the Government does turns to crap, not gold”
