A Pelosi Parable
There was a farmer who had a gaggle of geese that laid golden eggs. These golden eggs brought the farmer much money, which he used to help maintain and operate his farm.
The farmer's laborers were lazy and neglectful, and brought most of the rest of the farm to ruin. Thus, the farmer was feeling financially squeezed, because he needed to spend a lot of money to fix the barn, repair the tractor, replant his crops and buy food for his starving barnyard animals.
So, he took the golden eggs from the geese and ground them up and threw them into the river that flowed through his property. You see, it cost money to have those eggs shipped intact to the smelter, so he was able to save that cost by eliminating the need to transport them.
