Is Social Security a Ponzi Scheme?

NO PONZI scheme in the history of the world has ever lasted 75 years. Ponzi schemes depend on garnering an ever-increasing pool of new investors to pay out returns to prior investors. When the potential pool of new investors runs dry, they collapse. This will occur when the scheme runs up against the natural limits of its recruitment strategy; in the ultimate case, it can't keep going past the point where the entire population is already subscribed"... By Contrast, "The entire population of working Americans has already been subscribed to Social Security for decades, yet the system continues to pay out benefits on time. That is because the actuarial calculations underlying its revenues and benefits are sound.

What Mr Perry is doing is part of a consistent decades-long habit across much of the conservative right of attacking the foundations of Social Security. Up until about 2007, the goal of such attacks was clear: conservatives wanted to replace it with a Chilean-style defined-contribution plan that would be invested in securities...but since the financial crisis, and with average returns from Wall Street now sharply negative over an entire decade, both the logic and the political support for any such program have evaporated.

Some of this is due to the  phenomenon  of "submerged social benefits" that have become known as " the hidden welfare state ," and remains especially true for all those pesky "tax expenditures" that now lard up our voluminous and complex federal tax code. There's a vast array of these subsidies, such as the home mortgage interest deduction and the deduction for employer-provided health care benefits that might be reformed to better align them with the fiscal realities of today.
