Amy, Why not immigrate 75M more workers to the USA over the next 20 years or so, in order to make up for the retires? That's about 3.75M more workers/year, and creates more customers too. That's one way to grow the GDP as well as well as pay the tax receipts to pay SS. Some people have said they think is the underlying reason why Bush cut a deal with Fox in Mexico to allow more immigrants into this country. My only gripe is, they need to allow more of the PhD immigrants into the country.

I'm all for expanding legal immigration at all levels, not just the Ph.D's, though they too would make valuable members of society.

Of course, you'll threaten the power base of some special interest groups such as unions (typically white blue-collar workers) and African-Americans (who are now facing political competition from Hispanics). Guess they'll just have to adapt.
