I find the debate we are having about SS phantasmagoric because of what is not said. It's clearly about demographics since better demographics will not only solve the SS problem, a growing or at least stable population will keep us from facing the terrible problems that Japan and Western Europe will face from their own lousy demographics and their utterly misguided attempts to deal with them


Still comes down to a system problem - if SS wasn't a Ponzi scheme subject to demographic inequalities, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Kill the ponzi scheme, IMO.

EDIT: ..but I get your point about a demographics problem.
