Suddenly, social security for oldies will be very fully funded. The ratio of young to old will go from 2:1 to 10:1 in two years. Hey presto, no more population woes. It will cut the price of houses too as a LOT will be empty and on the market.

I see this in some areas already, empty buildings and homes - in west palm beach they had a law to tear these things down to keep the city "beautified" but in south georgia there are lots of overrun properties uglyfying the countryside. I dont see a 10:1 ratio coming back though, that sounds like fantasy - where do you get that silly idea?
