It all depends upon how our population grows. It seems to me that you are assuming the contributors are all off-spring of those of European origin. Yes, our birthrate has fallen to about 1.6 per female. But, just about every other group has a relatively higher birth rate and it is not clear that our working population will fall, as you suggest, relative to our retired SS beneficiary population. I noticed some interesting projections in a News Week magazine today while waiting in a Doctors office. I believe it was suggested that whites would only be about 50 percent of the population by 2050. I don't recall what percentage would be immagrants but we will need workers to keep the economy moving.
