Amusing parable told by Dallas Fed President Richard W Fisher at the Cato Institute:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks the governor\u2019s dog, then bites the governor. The governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie Bambi and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe calls animal control. Animal control captures the coyote and bills the state $200 for testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the state $200 for testing it for diseases. The governor goes to the hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and getting his bite wound bandaged.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe running trail gets shut down for six months while the California Fish and Game Department conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals. The governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a \u2018coyote awareness program\u2019 for residents of the area. The Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor\u2019s security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training, re: the nature of coyotes. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) protests the coyote\u2019s relocation and files a $5 million suit against the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and tries to attack him and his dog. The governor shoots the coyote with his state-issued pistol and keeps jogging.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor spent 50 cents on a .380-caliber, hollow-point cartridge. Buzzards ate the dead coyote.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that, my friends, is why California is broke and Texas is not.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Australians will identify with his description of a “nanny-state”.<\/p>\n
