They don't want to admit that we made a huge mistake when we set these programs up based on chain letter finance. Conceding that we need to move from a pay-as-you-go system to a funded system is to them a huge admission of failure.

The only thing left to do is try to boost income to ease the inevitable, ever-increasing pain. This is exactly the problem Madoff had.If there is no alternative to the Ponzi scheme, then the only hope is to find new suckers to contribute or try to get more from the investors you already have.
