The State of our Union

We all know how I feel about our state of the union and the war. Here are a my thoughts about economics and immigration. When the baby boomers start to retire, who will fill those jobs? If we filled those jobs would there be enough people paying into social security to keep the old white whale going? I would guess that the answer is yes. Hmmm, how could we fill those jobs and grow our workforce? If only there were lots of people who wanted to come to our country and work really hard and pay taxes and become citizens.

Am I stupid to think that growth in a community is a good thing?

are you serious? at least the u.s. is still relatively vibrant, with a growing population...we here in old europe already have to contend with an aging and shrinking population, and, consequently, shrinking economies down the road.
aren't people still lining up to get into the u.s.?

Upon reading this my husband suggested the sarcasm didn't translate. I see he was right.

Yeah, the president talked all about border security in the state of the union. Right after he talked about failing social security.
