On SS, I actually think it is comparable to a "ponzi scheme" in principle, myself. Isn't that why it is failing?  

It relies on an ever increasing population that works. And didn't the last census show slowing, see this: http://www.brookings.edu/blogs/up-front/posts/2011/12/28-census-population-frey  

While some might welcome slowed population growth, it is nonetheless a worrisome trend for a few reasons. First, the ability of the United States to maintain high and rising standards of living will depend in part on keeping a large share of its population in the workforce. That in turn requires growth to replenish our younger, working-age ranks. Second, those younger workers are crucial for the nation’s ability to provide needed support for a growing older population. And third, population growth itself is a reflection of our society’s optimism about current and future opportunities.
