>>>I'm not sure if the aging population will make any difference to the program. Seems like most senior citizens that I know have way more money than they'll ever run out of- unless inflation robs them. That's what I would worry about if I were them.<<<

I think the key here will be to see how many elderly slip into the 150% of poverty level as time goes by. Starting watching closely in about 5 yrs. My experience tell this this group will grow by leaps and bounds. There are projections out there but I haven't looked lately. (I'll try this week.)

Even for the well-heeled elderly their biggest inflationary problem is of course health care...the related labor can't be exported.
