If that is true, why does inflation adjusted GDP per capita continue to grow?

I agree that those of working should fund commitments for basic care for retirees, this is an important entitlement program. I disagree that the solvency problem that entitlement program faces is due to a lack of “work” being delivered, more that the program has been expanded without a corresponding increase in funding.

The GDP continues to grow because of the inclusion of "services" which are not a real product. The books are cooked. GD
