“I don’t know jokes; I just watch the government and report the facts.”
—Will Rogers (1879–1935)
“Social Security is a government program with a constituency made up of the old, the near old and those who hope or fear to grow old. After 215 years of trying, we have finally discovered a special interest that includes 100 percent of the population. Now we can vote ourselves rich.”
