    Do we have a labor shortage? Or do we have a welfare problem, with many Americans who won’t work?

    Probably both.  I believe that fundamentally social security is a ponzi scheme.  To keep it afloat, we need to get back to the projected 4:1 worker to retiree ratio required (or whatever it is, the point being we are short of it).  American citizens aren’t having enough children to keep our various fraudulent inter-generational transfers going.
