The debate about how many more dollars the Federal government should spend buying votes reminds me of a parable on Republican versus Democratic approaches to being "from the Federal government and here to help you."
A swimmer is drowning 100 feet offshore. A Republican casts out 50 feet of rope and urges the swimmer to "swim to the rope and I'll pull you in; it'll be good for your character." A Democrat throws out 200 feet of rope and walks away looking for another cause to feel good about.
