I AM Missing Something

The older I become the less clear life seems to be...When I was younger, I assumed that maturity brings wisdom and as we approach the end, life is much more in focus.
Paul Krugman wrote a column in today's New York Times in which he said the following:

44% of those on Social Security
43% of those who receive Unemployment Benefits
40% of those receiving Medicare

Do not believe that they "have used a government program."

How can we so blatantly fool ourselves? How have we changed so much in the last 25 years that we cannot see truth for what it is? And does this explain why our children act and behave as they do?

How can I be so out of touch?
