Did Vermont’s frequently tongue tied state auditor Tom Salmon borrow and awkwardly Salmon-ize a “folksy” themed comment made last August by former Sen. Alan Simpson co-chair of the White House's Commission on Fiscal Reform?
Simpson said this regarding recipients of Social Security benefits: “We've reached a point now where it's like a milk cow with 310 million tits!”
This recent remark by Salmon appears to feed off of Simpson’s theme and original quip.
In a recent “Barre-Montpelier Times Argus” article, Salmon said the following about Governor Shumlin’s election to office in 2010, ‘“Peter Shumlin promised everything to everybody in the primary and he was ultimately elected because there are a large number of people who live off the government milk,” Salmon said. “They in some way, whether it’s a school district or nonprofit, they feed off the cow. And the cow is a Democratic cow. And, unfortunately, too many people are feeding off the Democratic cow to vote for Republicans at this point.”’
