While waiting at a red light one day, my then-4-year-old son piped up from his car seat, “Mommy, the government should give everyone a dolphin.”
Yikes. How did my 4-year-old come to think of the government as a fairy godmother that could create things out of thin air?
Unfortunately, it’s not just 4-year-olds, but also 40-year-olds who increasingly think government spending comes out of nowhere and is without consequence.
