- m0zg 7y agoFact of the matter is: you're going to have to support the old, less able people, whether you want it or not. You don't get to just not pay for it, not at any kind of a macro scale. OTOH if the population isn't growing and economy is contracting as a result, you could find yourself paying a lot more than you do now. Like, potentially, several times the amount.
