>Second, there are not enough young people to maintain our current system of entitlement programs in the US.<

Have you noticed how many corporations have left the US in the last decade thanks to globalism. Over 700! Where do you think that those jobs went thanks to GATT, NAFTA and these damn trade agreements?

You sound as if you are concerned that you may not receive your entitlements. Anyone who depended on the government to take care of them in their later years is going to find out just what a sad job is being done.

I don't like government entitlements. I don't need government entitlements. But, thanks for your concern, Dad. You are projecting your distaste for these issues on me.

Globalism has helped the US create jobs, not reduce jobs. I'm not quite sure how this issue is that correlated to the population discussion, though.

The change in our demographics and our current entitlements are headed for a disaster, whether you like the entitlements or not. There are simply not enough young people being born and there are too many boomers who are living a long time.
