Social Security is a fraudulent scheme in which the government collect money from you for your retirement - and immediately spend the money on something else.

There's nothing shameful in acknowledging that you don't have the answers to every question about life. Just accept the fact that you know only a fraction of what's going on in the world. You don't have to attach explanations in terms of a special revelation of God's will, a glimpse at the supernatural, evidence of a conspiracy, or anything else.

I'm sorry that I can't snap my fingers and undo 50 years of bad American foreign policy.

The bad consequences of a government program usually don't show up immediately. And the delay may be long enough to hide the connection between the program and its results. So government never has to say it's sorry - never has to take responsibility for ht misery it causes.

And the government's cure for the problems is to impose bigger programs, more regulation and higher taxes.
