This article was on the front page of this morning's Orlando Sentinel, Aging Boomers Strain Pension Funds.
It goes on to discuss the giant worker shortage that will come as the baby boomers retire along with the enormous strain on health care, retirement funds, and government pension plans. It goes so far as to compare these programs to the structure of General Motors. The Orlando Sentinel is hardly known as a right-wing opinion paper. So before you beg the government to create yet another giant program, just remember that the signs of the coming storm are on the horizon.
Just think of the real estate market in 2004. All the signs of a giant crash were there. Some people were predicting it, yet most people missed them including HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, NAR, most banks, most Realtors, and most other players in the market. We have ample warning for this next storm that is looming out there.

Government "weather" is a lot like Texas weather. If you don't like it, wait 10 minutes, it will change.
The funny thing is this can all be avoided, but as a people, we've lost sight of the founding principles of our nation and have become a nation of takers, not doers. Just look at what the last election voted in and what we're getting.
