For 30 or 40 years some people have warned that because of the Baby Boomers (like myself) and the falling birthrate, there would be a problem paying for pensions. What did the politicians (like Bichard) do about it? nothing. Except convince people that they've never had it so good, give tax cuts, bread and circuses. I've never been unemployed or on benefits, always paid tax and other contributions and saved a bit. Young people need employment why should I deprive them of it? I'm retired and staying that way.
