  Do you think there's a possible solution os suite of solutions to address the real structural feature (intergenerational transfer dependent on demographics)?
  Or do you think it is unsalvageable?

    That's a problem for sure but that doesn't support the OP's Ponzi claim - reducing benefits by ~20% is just a needed adjustment to make the numbers work in light of demographic change, not some plot.
