hmm

I don’t know FLU, suppose you are right but I have been hearing that the only country who is going to be in worse shape than the EU (as far as aging population) is Japan followed closely by China.

But you are usually right so I will take your word for it.

[quote=flu][quote=creechrr]Are there any countries that are fiscal sound? I can’t think of one.[/quote]

China, japan, taiwan (if you consider it a separate country), s korea.[/quote]

Could you define ‘fiscal sound’. Some would argue even Greece is fiscally sound, they do have some kinda plan to adress the issues.

On a lighter note on this Greece thing,

you can lock a really good rate today !!

If you are in the market for it.

The sad part is that the Medicare and SS issues can be solved quite easily (well, in practice – not politically): raise the age at which folks start receiving benefits from 65 to 70. Voila! Problem solved. Literally, more than 40% of the projected liability would disappear. And the remaining liability can be funded under the status quo. But that AARP… they’re indefatigable.

Also, having folks actually work an extra five years would be good for the country’s overall productivity.
