The whole Ponzi scheme only works with perpetually increasing demand.

Don't you mean that the Ponzi scheme (Social Security, entitlements, etc.) only works with perpertually increasing SUPPLY?

As more and more age to take their SS, the supply must keep up - and it hasn't. Because more and more people are taking at younger and younger ages (entitlements) and the rest are aborting the supply pool.

No, I meant Demand and I’ll tell you why.

Who’s going to buy the stuff that Americans produce? 90 percent of the economy is domestic.

Abort the kids, that means that the intrinsic demand for inelastic goods will drop by as much as a third. Notwithstanding the contribution of immigration.

The Ponzi Scheme works because young people (you know those folks who aborted), are working, and that there is sufficient demand for there services. With the decrease in the population due to abortion, there is less demand for the services of the same people, because there is less overall demand.

These folks can’t get jobs, how can we expect them to pay into Social Security to pay for the whole Ponzi scheme? You can’t so it collapses.
