    Start by giving it to programs nobody in their right mind would oppose, like food and formula for mothers and babies.

    It’s only later that you use this precedent to justify doing it again (and again and again) for other programs that just so happen to coincide nicely with what you want.

    Jesus fuckin christ. Talk about leverage holy fuck.
