You cannot sustain an economic system where 49% or fewer productive people support 51% or more unproductive people. Why liberals can see the wreckage of such attempts throughout history is a mystery to me.

We are an aging society. Ten thousand baby boomers retire every day and will continue to do so for the next 20 years. In 1950, we had 16 workers for every retiree; today, it is less than three; and by 2030 there will be just two workers for every retiree.
Currently, SS, Medicare, Medicaid, other mandatories, and debt servicing costs comprise two thirds of the federal budget. This percentage will increase as the population ages. Without reform, these programs will eventually consume the entire federal budget.
