Haven't read Althouse in a while, but when I clicked over there this morning, I found an amusing post about Social Security analogies.

Ann is annoyed by some of the analogies being used by anti-reformers - at least, she says, give us some animals!

So a reader suggests:

The Future is like a Lion: It EATS the old, sick, weak members of the herd!

Social Security is like having a snake in the toilet, it can really bite you if you aren't paying attention, but if you think about it the answer is quite simple (sound of toilet flushing)

Social Security reform is like putting a weasel in your freezer: it just Doesn't Make Sense!

Social Security is like a goldfish; it will grow to fill whatever tank you put it in.
