Brookings and Heritage agree on something? Wow!

Advertisements [?]

The bad news is they agree the future looks grim, wealth transfers from young taxpayers to senior citizens become increadingly burdensome
and soon eating up every tax dollar.

The curious news is there are so few ideas for solutions. I'd bet everyone on this forum could devise some reasonable solutions to the baby boom tsunami.

How would you make social security and medicare sustainable for the 21st century.?
