Heck, it kinda sounds like the government we have, with a single demented guy signing all kinds of executive orders, shutting out the congress and overstepping the power given him in the constitution.

Don't blame the current office holder(s). A social welfare state (e.g. government paid retirement, health care, etc.) sounds wonderful in theory. But it's larely based on a sand "foundation." In fact, it'll slowly turn to quicksand. Here are some problems the architechts ignored: longer life spans, lower birth rates. Mass immigration was thought a partial remedy, but turns out most of those incoming aren't going to refill the treasuries as well as was hoped.

If Congress would stop raiding the SS fund and giving money to people who don't deserve it (not paid in) Social Security would've been fine.

Government sponsored Ponzi scheme is what my boss coined it as we were talking about it earlier this week. Spot on.
