Dunning the government for money is a local tradition in Italy.

I was riding around Abruzzo with an uncle once. A long line young trees lined the road. Every other one was dead. I asked my uncle what was up with that.

“Workers cut the root balls off before planting them. They’re hoping to be called back to replace the dead ones.”

“Workers cut the root balls off before planting them. They’re hoping to be called back to replace the dead ones.”

The same thing happens with every other Republican congressman.

Yeah, most places it’s the other way around.
