You got that **** right.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

... we’ve heard almost nothing of the main problem that makes the budget so intractable.
It’s the elderly, stupid.
By now, it’s obvious that we need to rewrite the social contract that, over the past half-century, has transformed the federal government’s main task into transferring income from workers to retirees. ...
These transfers have become so huge that, unless checked, they will sabotage America’s future. ...
Older Americans do not intend to ruin America, but as a group, that’s what they’re about. ...
What sustains these contradictions is a mythology holding that, once people hit 65, most become poor. This justifies political dogma among Democrats that resists Social Security or Medicare cuts of even one dollar.
But the premise is wrong. ...
The essential budget question is how much we allow federal spending on the elderly to crowd out other national priorities. All else is subordinate.
