95. I think you all are assuming one critical thing.

That the amount paid into SS by workers will remain the same or degrade with the retirement of the boomers.

Not saying that that will happen, but I'm curious to know how the Echo's, Millennial, whatever you want to call them will effect the amount paid into SS.

Many Echo's (echo boomers, boomer's children) are just now starting to enter the workforce. Many more will start entering in the near future with the youngest of the Echos still in grade school.

With this new influx of workers wouldn't the problem over the next decade or two self-correct?

I don't know the answer, I'm just curious as to the effect it will have.
