Crash Course 2: Chapter 6 — Demographics & Infrastructure
Published 3 years ago
Description
This is the last chapter in the Economic “E” of Crash Course 2.0.
Not a very sexy title, I know, but together demographics and a profound failure to maintain and/or invest in the future puts the US way behind the eight ball.
Both of these factors are going to be extraordinarily expensive over the coming years. Demographics because the US has already lost the ‘right’ pyramid shape of its population to support the Boomer retirees. Social security is completely wiped out by 2033 (but in reality already has zero money in it).
