How will America survive when the baby boomers leave? do americans have to produce more kids rapidly, you know like 6 per family? or maybe quit aborting 50 million children since 1970 (potential to fill up 2/3 of that gap). do we have to import more brains from india and china? would that be convient especially now that china is exporting spies to the US with ease, and the EU is also importing its own brains. Canada and australia are doing like the EU too.
oh an American highschoolers are now reading less and watching more MTV and spending more weekends at the mall.
also when it comes to maths, we cant even see china, and also Nigeria and poland just went past us.
The great USA is now 29th in science.

The only problem that baby boomers retirement poses is how to find the money to pay for their retirement. The boomers stretched the resources of society since the entered school in the 1950's ,and produced a crime wave in the starting in the late 60's because of the sharp increase in the numbers of their demographic. Younger people are better educated, but they also realize that they should focus on occupations that will not be outsourced to low wage countries. There are more than enough people in the US that can do science to maintain our leadership in technology.

I'm a late boomer born 14 jan 1954. Retired at 51, now 53.
Never stopped going to school while working. Now it's a hobby instead of for job advancement. So far speak read and write English, French, Latin and Japanese. Adding Mandarin and Spanish next. Hope to keep it up at a rate of 2 to four a year.
