Depends on the fund that your retirement is funded by . Big corporations can tank, but the state funded pension systems will still thrive on tax generated money .
Oh, I think the Government will find a way to pay for it. They will just end up sacrificing little things like Defense, Homeland Security, and Law Enforcement. That and raising taxes on anyone who actually bothered to save for retirement. In other words, legimate government functions will be gutted to pay old people benefits. Who cares if we haven't had a new fighter aircraft for the last 40 years--as long as Grampa gets his prescription drugs (for free). This is really what the Dems have been after for decades and soon it will come to fruition. Lets just hope they don't add reparations and social security for illegal aliens on top of that.
