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.

I think that you missed the point of my post.

Social Security and many other federal spending programs established by FDR are actually illegal under the federal Constitution. This is because FDR essentially talked the Supreme Court to ignoring the 10th A. requirement of the states to exercise their Article V powers to amend the Constitution to explicitly authorize the federal government to administer programs like SS.

In fact, when Thomas Jefferson reflected on the Founder's division of federal and state powers, he noted that the Founders had trusted the states, not the federal government, with the care of people. See for yourself.

"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons, (emphasis added) our property, our reputation and religious freedom." --Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801. ME 10:262 http://tinyurl.com/onx4j
And given that the federal Constitution says nothing about abortion like it says nothing about SS, the 10th A. automatically reserves government power to address abortion issues to the state governments. But given the USSC's politically correct license to ignore 10th A. protected state powers, compliments of FDR's dirty politics, the USSC wrongly ignored state power to address abortion issues when it decided Roe v. Wade. This is evidenced by the fact that there are no references to the 10th A. in the Roe v. Wade opinion (corrections welcome).

If the states choose to officially delegate the power to administrate issues like SS and abortion to the federal government, then they can exercise their Article V power to amend the Constitution to do so. But until that time, the care of the people and abortion remain state power issues regardless how the corrupt USSC decides such cases.
