Who knew it? It looks like the Progressives are picking up a Simonian theme:

For decades now, the ______ have published predictions on when _____ would run out _______ if nothing else in the world changed. And in every case, lots of things in the world changed — and ______ never found itself short _____

Of course, “they’re” talking about Medicare. But it is incredibly striking that: part of the “not running out of money” is that it is because taxes can (and have) increased to prevent it. And of course, the entire point of this post is that the same kind of thinking is rarely demonstrated not only on the hallowed pages of Vox but almost everywhere when it comes to talking about the problem of global warming, running out of resources, “over”population, immigration and so on.

Hmmm.
