re: CBO: Obamacare will have lower premiums, insure more, and cost government less

The demographic's of the US are against this. We have an aging populace and the US birth rates are extremely low.

Many now are living well into their 80s and 90s. The number of centurions in the US is at all time highs. People are living in their 'retirement' years longer than their 'work' years.

These people are going to have be housed, fed and taken care, by....the taxpayer. And as the federal government grows bigger and bigger and the tax-base grows smaller and smaller, the deficits get larger and larger.

The young folks that we were told that needed to enroll into obama-scam to make it work are not there. And it never be there. Most young healthy people are going to blow off insurance and tell the IRS to 'come catch me if you can.'

Yeah, the IRS will get garnish their little tax refunds but they will just adjust their withholdings to counter that.

The next 10-20 years are going to be a huge bust if something positive doesn't happen.

I am not too optimistic about the future of our country right now.

The only way I see out of this demographic tsunami is to have an huge long sustained economic boom much like the US had post-WWII.

I don't see that happening anytime soon.

What may happen? Anothe huge large scale war with many nations fighting against each other.
