Why My Wife Could Be A Candidate For President

From this morning, as my wife was getting ready to take the kids to the pool:

Lisa: Justin, do you have any cash?
Me: In my wallet in the bedroom.
Lisa (upon returning): Found it, I took it all.
Me: Wasn't there $26 in there?
Lisa: Yes, but it will cost us $3 to get in the pool and I might need more later.

I found it amusing, and later I thought of how it was just about like every government program I ever studied.
