The increase in benefits and transfer payments just need to be lower than the growth rate. So future benefits will need to be trimmed, most likely including them in tax calculations. The US is still growing. 'Old Europe' would have a big problem, the US has a much easier problem. About 15-18 years from now, the number of new retirees will start to drop, and total number of retired people will rise slower. Percentage of the population that is retired will stop growing. Meaning the problem will get worse, but at a slower rate. About 23 - 25 years out, both the percentage and total number of retirees starts dropping quickly. A tough problem, but can be managed.
