The Coming Generational Storm: What You Need to Know about America's Economic Future

In 2030, as 77 million baby boomers hobble into old age, walkers will outnumber strollers; there will be twice as many retirees as there are today
but only 18 percent more workers. How will Social Security and Medicare function with fewer working taxpayers to support these programs?

According to Laurence Kotlikoff and Scott Burns, authors of The Coming Generational Storm, if Washington continues on the course it has set, we'll
see skyrocketing tax rates, drastically lower retirement and health benefits, high inflation, a rapidly depreciating dollar, unemployment, and
political instability. The U.S. government has lost its compass, say Kotlikoff and Burns, and the Bush administration's spending and tax policies
have charted a course straight into the coming generational storm.
