>> The Congressional Budget Office calls this an infographic. It answers a lot of frequently-asked questions about Social Security. One of the facts is that the number of workers per beneficiary has fallen from 4.9 in 1960 to 2.8 in 2010. CBO sees this number reaching 1.9 in 2035. This is just an impossible situation. I (and others) have been criticized here and elsewhere for referring to SS as a ponzi scheme; yet, the fact that these statistics even EXIST is implicit confirmation of that status. And like all ponzi schemes, this one is destined for failure. I'm not sure, were I in charge of the federal government, that I would be encouraging birth control. They're gonna need all the babies they can get.
