Every now and then I read something which summarizes a situation so perfectly I just have to share it. An example was in the Wall Street Journal today and the quote is from Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. who captured the current social security debate beautifully.
"First of all, Social Security and Medicare are the same problem--and that problem is how Americans under 50 can provide for their old-age consumption without engaging in wishful thinking about enormous taxes that future workers would be willing to pay to keep them happy in retirement."
