These people have worked their whole lives knowing someday they'll retire and have had retirement investment options available to them. Many will retire with little to no networth beyond maybe the house that they live in and an increasing number will still have mortgage payments at age 65+. They're gonna scream like raped apes for the government to take care of them.
Yes, and that's our problem because.......?
