Quote of the Day II

Robert Samuelson, writing in The Washington Post, about Millennials (those 29 or younger):
In surveys, they say they're more disposed than older Americans to big and activist government. Their ardor for Obama is already cooling. Will higher taxes dim their enthusiasm for government?
As Churchill famously said, "If you aren't liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you aren't conservative at forty, you have no brain." Neo-conservatives are liberals who have been mugged by reality in the process of growing up. One suspects there are a lot of us.
