What I don't get is Perry is getting trashed for calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme, the counter argument to Perry is "millions of people depend on Social Security". with the implication "....so therefore it can't be a Ponzi scheme."

The point is the system can still be a Ponzi scheme even though millions of people depend on it. IMHO that makes it much worse, you have millions depending on a Ponzi scheme.
I have my questions about Perry, but on this issue he's spot on. So what am I missing here?

You are not missing anything. Your post #39 is dead-on accurate.
