摘要

Elections ought to engage the issues that shape our future. By that standard, the campaign of 1996 already looks like a bust. Everyone talks of balancing the budget and reducing government without mentioning spending for older Americans-which is the decisive issue affecting the budget and government's size. America needs a new generational compact: one that recognizes that the elderly are healthier and wealthier than ever before and that government programs should be revised accordingly. Only Bob Dole can compel this critical debate, and he should. It's preposterous to think that the impending election could define every particular of a new generational compact. But the taboos against discussing social security and Medicare need to be broken; and broad principles for modifying them need to be proposed. Sooner or later, we will have to come to terms with an aging society in which 20 percent of Americans will be (by 2030) over 65, up from 12 percent today.
