A post in this board (link below) attempts to explain how FDR's establishment of constitutionally unauthorized federal spending programs like Social Security arguably led to the USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion.

The problem is that abortion is about to wreak havoc on our economy.

When FDR introduced Social Security, it was a definite Ponzi scheme, but it was workable because life expectancy was such that most people would only collect benefits for a few years. However, within a short time advances in medicine (antibiotics, polio vaccine, etc.) dramatically extended life expectancy.

Then came the post-World War II baby boom and the Ponzi scheme got even more strained. However, with regular population growth, it was still a viable program.

Then in 1973, Roe v. Wade was adjudicated and baby boomers began to murder over one million babies per year. The economic impact that nobody realized was that these were FUTURE TAXPAYERS. So the result was that the largest generation in human history decided to kill off a generation of 50 MILLION people who they were dependent upon to fund their retirement.

This absolute need for more taxpayers is part of the reason why so many are pushing for easier immigration policies and amnesty for illegal aliens. The unfortunate reality is that, for us to continue our way of life without significant sacrifices, we need to have more taxpayers. The only other alternative is for the government to allow Social Security to collapse.
