That's why I posted this -- if the analogy doesn't work, please point out where it fails.

And conservatives are going to shout that government should tighten its belt, whether the
comparison is being used or not. As liberals -- we know there are other things on which to
focus. A family member could stop spending outrageous amounts of money on a gun collection --
and that person's employer, instead of exploiting him or her by UNDERpaying for his/her
job... could be expected to pay more (family income) for his/her services. The credit cards
could be used for investment such as a college education... or home improvement to increase
its equity rather than more pistols to yank on. Why does this need to go right to a vague
"the gov't should tighten its belt".

Serious post. If it doesn't work, I'm hoping for an EXPLANATION of why. Serious questions
about your unsupported proclamation.

Sometimes I think Dems are mostly from Missouri at heart -- don't just tell me.

Show me.

So, if this IS a good model... don't just sweep it under the rug by proclaiming there is
no commonality. Show WHY that is so -- that's also what we do as liberals.

And I wouldn't mind seeing the government YANK its belt tighter on defense spending.

No commonality -- just don't SAY that -- show it. Please.
