is a system that relies on the untenable assumption of ever-higher birth rates while a decline in population growth spells trouble for it because it ceases to be able to pay for itself.

A watershed moment in the public realization that low population growth spells trouble for Social Security was the 1987 publication of Ben Wattenberg's book The Birth Dearth. Wattenberg, who once worked for Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey, was by the late 1980s a centrist Democrat, hawkish on defense and otherwise alternately allied with the right or left, depending on the issue. Although many rejected Wattenberg's claim in The Birth Dearth that a crisis of population decline loomed, time has vindicated his warning.
