    Yeah, should be. Sadly we basically have a ponzi scheme for national pensions in Western nations.

      The problem is neoliberalism and the fascism of conservatism. There is more than enough wealth. The system is designed to funnel the majority into the hands of the richest 0.01%; a large amount of government spending goes to unproductive waste like layers of private middle-men, consultants, corruption, bureaucracy, mass surveillance, wars, etc.
