Fact is that FDR's little Ponzi scheme is finally heading for the point
all
Ponzi schemes ultimately reach, when there aren't enough new suckers
coming
in to make good on the promises made to the first suckers.

True, but remember that the purpose of this ponzi scheme was to take older
people out of the work force to provide jobs for the young who, in return,
footed the bill.
