See, when you look at "government vocational training" and think "that's just like the Giver", you're being ridiculous.

According to Richard, I'm supposed to tell people what fields to train in before I go advocating any spending cuts. That sounds incredibly Giver like.

Either you are failing to read what he is writing or deliberately misinterpreting it.  Would you advocate government sponsored or conducted vocational training to help people such as the woman who couldn't get a straight answer from Paul Ryan?  Because that's more of an answer than he was able to give for how he could help her become not dependent on the government.  Which, logically, is what he had to have been getting at with the fish parable.  Only he was unable to give any specifics whatsoever to ground that fable in actual proposed policy.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
