Let me guess. You are kind of young aren't you?
Otherwise you would remember the days when the projected population was going to be a half billion by 2000.
Projected equals poppycock.
I like to think 64 is young.

I have no idea what specific projection you are referring to. The projections I am providing are made by the Bureau of the Census and these are the more conservative ones based on various assumptions. The SS Administration projects that we will be paying out more in benefits than revenue from FICA taxes by the year 2017. Do you doubt that as well?
In terms of 2030, we are not talking about 50 or 100 years from now, just 23 years. We have some very good data to base such projections on. This isn't rocket science.
