I agree, it's a great question. In regard to that legislator's statement, that seems like an odd thing to say; wince when is using public resources to educate the public a "drain" on resources? Pig feed is used to feed pigs, after all. And the comparison may be more apt than the legislator intended. Pigs are highly intelligent (though not well-informed) and are driven by their appetites . . . much like certain economies, if one chooses to view them in that way.
