attempts by the Republican party to dismantle Social Security since it's
inception by attempting to discredit S/S using non factual arguments
such as S/S is a Ponzi scheme, the program continues to function as
designed.

My initial Ponzi comment was not pointed at Social Security, which does
seem to be in fair shape with a few tweaks needed to keep it going for
the rest of this century.

Rather it was directed at the need for an ever increasing population to
keep things going. What would happen to the housing industry, durable
goods, automobile, etc. if the population was static? Think about it.
