Aging America

Cultural change is very obvious today in America.  A different change is happening more slowly.

"[T]he U.S. is in the beginning stages of a massive and unprecedented demographic transformation. Between 2010 and 2040, the number of Americans age 65 and older will double, from 41 million to 82 million. 




"In 2000, there were 4.7 working age Americans (ages 20 to 64) for every person 65 or older. By 2040, there will be only 2.6 people of working age for every person 65 or older.

How old will you be in 2040? What will happen to health care and retirement income between now and then?  I'm eating greens and doing sit-ups.
