Baby Boomers will retire at a faster rate than the younger generation of Americans will be able to work and put some money into the social security system.

Because the availability of Americans to pay their share in the Social Security Program will decrease while the population of Americans who have already paid their share to the Social Security Program and now benefit from the program will increases.

In other words: There might be more "need" and less who are able to "help" in the years to come.

Logical Do you want increased government spending and more taxes too?

The big problem is that the people who want the money spent on them are not the ones who will benefit if taxes are reduced. Likewise, the people who will have to pay more taxes will receive absolutely no benefits from the government if their taxes go up. So while one group of people benefits from increased government spending, the group that pays higher taxes does not.
