So in case anyone who is just waking up from a coma, just as they're reading this, (talk about luck) or this is literally your first day in America, (perhaps you literally were born not yesterday, but today) the President of the United States is going to have a parade in Washington celebrating... (any guesses?) himself on Saturday. 

The Trump parade is advertised as a military parade, but it's really going to be a North Korean and Russian style parade honoring the dictator. Or in this case... the wannabe dictator. And with any luck, there will be enough rain in Washington on Saturday, not just to wash this authoritarian parade away, but Donald John Trump's world class, gigantic ego. We can always hope and pray. 

But this is not what this Reason video is about. From looking at that, this is about Social Security and Federal entitlement programs in general. The premise being that they're all headed for bankruptcy, unless Congress and the Administration prevents that. And they do that by showing all these different parade boats that are headed for lamp posts, if nothing is done to prevent those bankruptcies from happening. 

This Reason video is kind of funny, but the premise is hard to see, unless you are not already familiar with libertarian humor and Federal entitlements. Which tells me that the only audience that Reason Magazine (which has been around since 1968) still has, are just Libertarians, who are still 1 of the smallest voting blocs in America.
