Jennifer, I read your 8 Billion and Counting. Great presentation of these population data in an understandable way. I agree with your point that pay as you go retirement programs are not sustainable. Since its institution in the 30s, Social Security retirement has been recognized as a classic Ponzi Scheme. Insurance companies that sell annuities know how to do the arithmetic to make Social Security financially sound. I agree with your point (Page 205) that schemes that allow older people to exit the system early are costly. There are practical ways to solve both these problems in the United States.
What should the immigration regulations be for the United States? Can we agree that the purpose of our government is to serve our citizens?
Jennifer, I just ordered a copy of your book and am looking forward to getting some insight from an expert who has different views and objectives than my own. I have advocated efforts to reduce the population of the world. For very selfish reasons I have been pushing to stop all immigration into the United States.
