All those going around squealing about Governor Allen's and the congressional budget cuts remind me of a bunch of piglets.
The piglets think that all Mama Porker (Richmond) and Farmer Washington are doing is just moseying out to the orchard and gathering apples for Mama Porker to process and pass on to the piglets, whereas what they're really doing is taking the apples away from poor ol' Dobbin, the taxpayer workhorse, who works hard every day to earn his apples while the piglets loll around in the mud and sun getting a free handout.
Dobbin should be able to keep his apples and give them to the ones he wishes to support.
