22 Facts About The Coming Demographic Tsunami That Could Destroy Our Economy
All By Itself
US economy is steadily declining.
1. Right now, there are somewhere around 40 million senior citizens in the
United States. By 2050 that number is projected to skyrocket to 89 million.
2. According to the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 46 percent of all
American workers have less than $10,000 saved for retirement, and 29 percent
of all American workers have less than $1,000 saved for retirement.
3. One poll discovered that 26 percent of all Americans in the 46 to 64-year
-old age bracket have no personal savings whatsoever.
4. According to a survey conducted by the Employee Benefit Research
Institute, "60 percent of American workers said the total value of their
savings and investments is less than $25,000".
5. 67 percent of all American workers believe that they "are a little or a
lot behind schedule on saving for retirement".
6. A study conducted by Boston College's Center for Retirement Research
found that American workers are $6.6 trillion short of what they need to
retire comfortably.
7. Back in 1991, half of all American workers planned to retire before they
reached the age of 65. Today, that number has declined to 23 percent.
8. According to one recent survey, 70 percent of all American workers expect
to continue working once they are "retired".
9. A poll conducted by CESI Debt Solutions found that 56 percent of American
retirees still had outstanding debts when they retired.
10. A study by a law professor at the University of Michigan found that
Americans that are 55 years of age or older now account for 20 percent of
all bankruptcies in the United States. Back in 2001, they only accounted
for 12 percent of all bankruptcies.
11. Today, only 10 percent of private companies in the U.S. provide
guaranteed lifelong pensions for their employees.
12. According to Northwestern University Professor John Rauh, the total
amount of unfunded pension and healthcare obligations for retirees that
state and local governments across the United States have accumulated is 4.4
trillion dollars.
13. Right now, the American people spend approximately 2.8 trillion dollars
on health care, and it is being projected that due to our aging population
health care spending will rise to an astounding 4.5 trillion dollars in 2019.
14. Incredibly, the United States spends more on health care than China,
Japan, Germany, France, the U.K., Italy, Canada, Brazil, Spain and Australia
combined.
15. If the U.S. health care system was a country, it would be the 6th
largest economy on the entire planet.
16. When Medicare was first established, we were told that it would cost
about $12 billion a year by the time 1990 rolled around. Instead, the
federal government ended up spending $110 billion on the program in 1990,
and the federal government spent approximately $600 billion on the program
in 2013.
17. It is being projected that the number of Americans on Medicare will grow
from 50.7 million in 2012 to 73.2 million in 2025.
18. At this point, Medicare is facing unfunded liabilities of more than 38
trillion dollars over the next 75 years. That comes to approximately $328,
404 for every single household in the United States.
19. In 1945, there were 42 workers for every retiree receiving Social
Security benefits. Today, that number has fallen to 2.5 workers, and if you
eliminate all government workers, that leaves only 1.6 private sector
workers for every retiree receiving Social Security benefits.
20. Right now, there are approximately 63 million Americans collecting
Social Security benefits. By 2035, that number is projected to soar to an
astounding 91 million.
21. Overall, the Social Security system is facing a 134 trillion dollar
shortfall over the next 75 years.
22. The U.S. government is facing a total of 222 trillion dollars in
unfunded liabilities during the years ahead. Social Security and Medicare
make up the bulk of that. | D****g
