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). Now you might think that increases in life expectancy will stop. I don't think that idea is correct, and in fact I hope it isn't, but its possible. Edit life expectancy data from cdc.gov
