But what you're missing is that it's the younger people who are paying for the benefits the elderly are receiving now.

This is a lesson that should be learned by everyone about not becoming too dependent on the government.

And yet Democrats and Republicans and the media keep on pursuing policies that make people dependent on government.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
