Steve's barking; Old age Armageddon

We of the west are going old.
We need more health care.
Our government old age retirement funds our underfunded. (We'll I've read on some blogs, that have been picked up by some papers).
Our healthcare systems are under stress, the government system in Europe and the crazy laissez fare of the United States.
Now in the days of yesteryear the work force would keep growing and the taxes of the workforce would more the cover the cost. Ah but the working population is shrinking compared to the retired population.
Our countries our weary of immigrants. So having more immigrants doesn't seem to be the answer. So what is the answer?
The answer to these problems from the government's of Western nations is to keep taxes low or lower.
Cut or keep the same amount of moneys going into these programs.
The problem with cutting or not paying enough into these programs is the growing part of the population will not be able to afford new products having an unforeseen negative consequences on the economies of Western Nations.
Given this scenario either raise taxes or have an economic implosion.
This isn't rocket science.
