Santorum says 'abortion culture' to blame for problems with Social Security - The Hill's Ballot Box

The operative quote"

"Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) said Tuesday that America's "abortion culture" is at the heart of problems with the nation's Social Security system. The likely 2012 presidential contender, who earned a reputation as a hardcore social conservative during his time in Congress, said thanks to the number of abortions in the United States each year, not enough children are being born to support the system in the long term. 
"The Social Security system, in my opinion, is a flawed design, period," Santorum said in a Tuesday morning interview with WEZS Radio in Laconia, N.H. "But having said that, the design would work a lot better if we had stable demographic trends."  Santorum said the reason for the trouble is that "we don't have enough workers to support the retirees. Well, a third of all the young people in America are not in America today because of abortion.""

Exactly! When you have a forced confiscatory tax to fund a ponzi scheme and you start running out of suckers to continue to fund the ponzi scheme; well guess what, it goes broke. So the federal government had one branch of government telling all workers they had to pay because it was necessary to achieve full retirement for all and another branch of government making it acceptable to kill millions of future American citizens necessary to carry out retirement nirvana. This is what is called an unintended consequence. From this we can further extrapolate that many baby boomers were complicit in the demise of their own future retirement.

The other interesting revelation about the "Rowe effect" is it casts a bright light on Republicans who run around claiming they are "fiscal conservatives" and not "social conservatives." Here is the most socially liberal ruling/procedure/policy/belief/program - call it what you want - known in America and guess what, it has had a huge negative fiscal impact on the United States. Not only on the funding of Social Security but on the huge transfer of wealth from Americans to Planned Parenthood and NARAL. What the RINO's don't know, or don't want you to know, is there is always a fiscal hit to the economy for social program. So if a Republican says they are "fiscally conservative" and not "socially conservative" you know better - they are just smarmy.
