My retirement date, every time you ask me that, I'm going to say five years. I don't want to retire.

The problem is not that the U.S. economy won't be able to take care of its citizens - it is that taking away benefits, creating intergenerational warfare, and scapegoating will make for very difficult and bad politics.
