But would my one job contribute more to society than the sudden inflation created by giving away my 500 trillion dollars to every american? Why do you think social security is heading for a demographic disaster? When it started there were 70 people working for every 1 person retired. In 20 years there will be 2 people working for every 1 person retired. That means the labor output transferred from a working stiff to a retired person will be 35 times higher than it was when the program started. You can't just wave a magic wand, print up some more money, and suddenly there will be enough labor to wipe the asses and change the bedpans of all those retirees. It's the labor that will be missing- no matter how wealthy the old people are. ----------- You would have to get a job and contribute to the labor pool.
