Census Bureau estimates show that in 2035, we’ll see a major demographic shift. Seniors (65-plus) will outnumber kids (under 18) for the first time in U.S. history. Think about that.

The implications are huge for federal entitlement spending, taxation, and health care. The Census Bureau infographic is below. Look at 2060.
