 Big-spending liberals will soon run out of other people’s money. This should scare them straight. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment benefits, food stamps and other welfare programs reaching deep into American pockets will soon leave no money for anything else.

It’s not as if the president doesn’t know better. “Our retirement programs,” he said in his State of the Union address earlier this month, “will crowd out the investments we need for our children.”
