We all know that this is coming, but no one is addressing this at all.

I don't know what can be done... as the burden increases, so does the political power of the burden. Legalize assisted suicide? Voting proportional to expected remaining life expectancy? Ban bailouts for defined benefit pensions (or eliminate defined benefit altogether)?

I suspect any party that even starts talking about that would lose an awful lot of support, and awful fast.
