When I was 7, my grandfather told me, "There
ain't no such thing as a free lunch." He explained that whoever was offering
"free" stuff always had a hook in there somewhere that would probably
cost you as much or more than a paid lunch. I idolized my grandfather, so
I paid very close attention. His explanation made perfect sense, both at
age 7 and ever since. What I will never understand is how adults in
massive numbers will vote for politicians offering free stuff, and not even
consider there might be a hook in there somewhere.
