>As for the elderly, the maximum outflows of social security in the US will be in ~2030. So expect a lot of chatter leading up to that year and then for it to die down (literally).

The ratio of inflow to outflow is important, not the outflow. Also, Medicare/Medicaid get lumped in with Social Security for the purposes of discussion wealth transfer from workers to non workers, and I don’t see the ratio of inflow to outflow increasing anytime soon.
