Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the population ages, there will be a larger elderly demographic that will need support from programs like Social Security and Medicare. This can lead to a greater burden on working people who are funding these programs through their taxes. Without a balance between the needs and interests of different generations, the burden could become too great for one group to bear.
