The selfish liberal baby boomers are responsible. These people were part of a baby boom then decided to kill off their offspring which would support them when they were old.

And here I thought it was the fault of older citizens who invented deficit spending and thought the government should provide them with a ponzi retirement scheme and free healthcare. Silly me.

Uh why should one need others to support them? Only in a pyramid or Ponzi scheme does one need more participants. Having less offspring means more wealth to distribute to each offspring, and a nation that uses less natural resources. Doesn't sound selfish to me but conservative and thoughtful.

A properly set up program would be self sufficient without an increase in participants. (who eventually would be recipients)Where do you stop the pyramid? More participants only delays the inevitable day of reckoning...its like doubling up your bets, eventually you go broke.
