So clearly you're wrong because children were dying at early ages, they never were on the SS roles, they never paid dues, hence it wasn't a Ponzi scheme

Wrong. You failed at basic logic because you based all of your information off a .gov site instead of doing the math yourself.
US Population
---------------
1930 122 million
2000 281 million
Number of people over age 65
----------------------------------
1930 - 6.7 million
2000 - 34.9 million
Population increased 230%, people over age 65 increased by 520%. Your excuse about childhood mortality rate doesn't compensate for that. I stand by my original statement that increase in life expectancy causes it to be a ponzi scam by default.
