I'd be careful about the use of the term ponzi scheme. I think it's a rather dangerous example of doublespeak: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublespeak Social Security exactly fits the definition of a Ponzi

The attacks were heinous and it's horrible that innocent people died, but we can't let the gruesome nature of the attacks prevent us from putting them into context— Nearly four times as many people die per week in the US from auto
