The problem with that is each younger generation is proportionately smaller than the one turning 65/67/whatever. Never will be enough to pay all the current entitlement levels.
We need a lot of legal immigration to counter that along with bright minds vs. so many pot & meth heads.

Probably a good place for ICE to pick up illegals would be at a US-Mexico soccer match.
No math. Scouts honor. Maybe just an interesting math video or something.
Military leadership at that time would have refused to follow Trump's illegal and unconstitutional commands.
Not as confident in current military leadership under Hegseth. His DUI hires are more loyal to Trump than the U.S. Constitution.
Legal theft is oxymoronic because it is a contradiction in terms: theft cannot be legal since it is defined by being unlawful. Your assent is maintaining citizenship.
If you want to revoke consent, you must first revoke/renounce citizenship. By being a citizen, you consent to be governed by laws, in this case tax laws.
Agree. Firing squads.
Sure he is.
There's more loyalty to the constitution in that dude's dump he took this morning than all the Baidens and Milleys of your world combined.
Epstein’s Attorney Responds to Elon Musk’s Trump-Pedo List Allegation

Interesting math video.
3 words never used in this order in the history of recorded time.
Until now.
I was of course referring to those physically protesting - meaning rioting once it's physical.

Both gentleman's egos way too big. My respect for each is off the charts, by the way.
That’ the way I see/saw it as well.
Bigger issue imho is that men of genuine substance can’t stand shoulder to shoulder while disagreeing publicly; ironically it was trump of the two who took the high road and didn’t respond childishly
Because, even though the population is increasing, the volume of deaths from the boomers will outpace it. The average age of the population will decrease and therefore, it will dramatically decrease the number of people that are drawing Medicare and Social Security, which are the two largest items in the government's yearly spending. IOW - the outlay for those programs will "automatically" lower themselves, without external correction. I couldn't tell you offhand, the duration of the trough that follows the wave but it will happen, and I think that will present an opportunity start re-working future entitlements.
(the entitlements wont' be "removed" but the total cost will go down)
In a way, it's really nothing more than.... A MATH PROBLEM 🤣 🤣 🤣

This is absolutely true. Most of Congress (with some exceptions) answer to their donors, lobbyists, and they could care less about answering to the American people and the ticking time bomb of national debt that is unsustainable and essentially a fiscal crisis. The BABY-BOOMER Uniparty establishment has ****ed over younger Americans with their free trade deals that have decimated the American industrial base, destroyed any chance of younger Americans of affording a home, debt crisis, etc , and it’s going to be up my generation (X) and the younger ones to fix it. TS.
1.) Suspend congressional salaries until the budget is balanced
2) Term limits
It’s a pipe dream and won’t happen anytime soon but a good start towards a solution, as well as many of these Baby-Boomer politicians dying off and going away permanently.
Hey look... some more of those hard working immigrants were taken off the street recently. What a shame.
Understand the intent of your post and agree somewhat but as a boomer who has been paying into SS & Medicare since I was 15, I will never receive the benefits equal to what I’ve contributed. Doesn’t matter how long I live - within reason.
Problem is that there are a significant # of people pulling from those entitlements who’ve contributed little or nothing.
There are a few I would like to knock down with a good straight punch to the nose.
I'm sorry man.... Dang...
I'm a boomer as well, and yes, you're right on both counts.
I fell into the old trap of using the government's terminology, because they're NOT of course, entitlements for most people, because we have paid into them for most of our lives.
The bubble is only referring to the wave that the baby explosion created. A larger than average number of people compressed into one generation.
I am one of those boomers so, math will be short lived for me from this point on according to info in bold.
Of course, none of this would be a PROBLEM, if the government hadn't completely crapped the bed, by borrowing against the massive amounts of money that "boomers" (including me) were paying IN, during their most productive working years. 😡😡😡
warrior, I'm also a boomer.
Lemme rephrase, because I've come across as anti-boomer, and that wasn't my intent. My point is basically this. We get the economy going full-steam, and we don't have to make cuts to social security and medicare, because as WE (you, me, and the rest of the boomers) start to pass away, those programs will see "automatic" reductions. Which will present a more opportune time to start taking big bites out of the debt.
Clearly, I'm not an economist, but this seems intuitive to me. It's just a shame, that those dick heads in DC have put us IN this position.

Newsom's office compares LA riots against federal agents to sports celebrations
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office compared the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles to Eagles fans celebrating after a playoff win.
Just read some comments from Coco Gauff who won the women's title at the French Open yesterday. Stated that she's very patriotic and proud to be an American - love it. However, she went on to say she's proud to 'represent Americans who look like me and support the things that I support'. So, she's patriotic and proud to be an American but only those who look like her (black) and support the things she supports? If a white American male won the French Open (I know, fat chance) and said he was patriotic and proud to represent Americans who look like him and support the same things he does, he'd be crucified in the media for being a racist and, most likely, a crazy conservative. But, Coco can say she's proud to represent black Americans and those who support what she supports and crickets from the media. The double standard in what passes for journalism today is astounding. I was pulling for her to win yesterday and I'm white and, presumably, not 100% in line with her politics, so she doesn't feel proud to represent me as an American fan of hers? Probably won't pull for her ever again if that's the way she feels.
ABC's Terry Moran suspended after journalist slams Trump, top advisor in since-deleted post
ABC's Terry Moran attacked President Donald Trump and top advisor Stephen Miller on Sunday in a since-deleted social media post, prompting a response from the White House.
Hey ya Mug.... You're a Boomer, He's a Boomer, I'm a Boomer nearing "When I'm 64...Beatles.) But I AM nearing 64, less than a month... 64... 😆
Is Newsom really this dumb? He's supposed to be Wonder Boy and be a leading candidate for President at some point but he continually comes across as a dumb ass. His reactions to the LA fires, SF falling apart, CA budget shortfall and now these riots are comical. He just sounds like a complete clown. He's got the pretty face and all the approved physical mannerisms but the words he speaks are, more often than not, nonsense. Just complete BS and downright idiotic. He's a threat to win the Presidency? God help us all.Newsom's office compares LA riots against federal agents to sports celebrations

How Justice Clarence Thomas led SCOTUS to kill DEI
Supreme Court unanimously rejects special standards for majority-group discrimination claims, reflecting Thomas's view that American law protects individual rather than group rights
Just don't hit those goofy looking caterpillars on his forehead posing as eyebrows. They might be an endangered species.
Yes.
The mistake EVERYONE makes is the assumption that Dems are smart... or at least, not stupid.
WRONG!
They ARE stupid.
Name the last really good decision by ANY Dem... I'll wait lol.
Yeah,
I think when DOGE, who now has access, removes nearly all the 150 years old's and 200 years old recipients from the cash payroll things may actually become "solvent" for the people under 110 or so... BUT, there's nothing to see there.....
