A baby boomer father and son, walking in the forest, come upon a grizzly bear. The father immediately opens a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts and begins stuffing glazed doughnuts down his craw.
“What are you doing?” the son said. “You can’t earn enough to pay taxes to offset the increased entitlements that politicians are enacting to buy your vote.”
“I don’t have to earn enough,” the father said. “I only have to have a coronary before the bear that metaphorically represents the impending fiscal collapse catches us.”
If that’s not the zaniest link to a Robert Samuelson column ever, I don’t know what is.
