Yes after the baby boomers die off the numbers of retired compared to workers will probably improve, but than the ration will go back to shrinking since life expectancy is increasing faster than the retirement age (which has barely budged, people born 1937 or earlier have full retirement at 65, people born after 1960 have full retirement at 67, a 2 year change with no planned future increases over a period when life expectancy increased 9.7 years).

Jeez, an improvement in life style generation over generation. That was expected as I grew up... you treat is as a negative. You might want to read your conservative buddy David Brooks...

The U.S. is still an astonishing assimilation machine. It has successfully absorbed more than 20 million legal immigrants over the past quarter-century, an extraordinary influx of human capital. Americans are remarkably fertile. Birthrates are relatively high, meaning that in 2050, the average American will be under 40, while the average European, Chinese and Japanese will be more than a decade older.
