The definition of bread and circuses, the kind of thing that conservatives used to warn everyone about voting for, and warn against policies that just gave money away. Remember Mitt Romney's 47% dumbass remark? In larger context it was about people who wouldn't vote for him because they lived off federal dollars. Will no conservatives denounce Trump for trying this?
