Althouse: "Money the government is spending on old people means young people are free not to take care of them."

And now, the government has become the basis of our expectations. There's a feeling of security (especially if you don't think too hard). And there's a freedom from the bondage of family. The government is more your family than your family.

Aren't you happy? Aren't you free? Don't you love Big Brother?

Its even more insidious than that. Why care about about anyone. Why believe in God? Why be part of a community? Why not just be a bunch of nihilists like Europe?
