The "kids" can't take care of themselves, let alone their elders. The US will do what it always does, put the expense on credit and make a promise that a future generation will pay the interest on it.Do you think you will see such a result in inflation adjusted dollars? I do not. When your grandfather retired there were about 6 workers per recipient, now it is 3 and expected to be 2 in the coming years. We are getting very close to where we might as well scrap it and let kids take care of their elders…
