Bob's Campaign Slogan

You probably all know Bob's lame campaign slogan by now: "You can't put out a fire by throwing money on it."  I totally disagree with this statement.  Of course you can.  What if you dropped a ginormous number of pennies on a fire?  Wouldn't that do the trick by smothering the fire?  If we are talking paper money, what if the money was wet?  Would that work?  And of course we all know Bob's idea of fire protection:  an all volunteer bucket brigade.
