Well, you know what they say - even the dumbest of legislators, just like
accountants, occasionally gets one right...maybe you could learn from this...

Pelosi, the mother of 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who once said,

imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury.

If they are being supported by the treasury, they are a burden on it.
