The problem I have with any modern conspiracy being "This was done to do that as its main reason" is that's not how modern conspiracies work. They know generally what they want to do, they need partners to help them execute it, and they ask "what do you want to get out of it?"
It's just like the affordable health care act wasn't written by a single person. It was a collection of many past proposals all cobbled into one thing that was never read by a single person as a whole unit. Modern conspiracies are a giant laundry list of what a lot of people want.
But all of these outcomes that are negotiated for there needs to be a single person that gains to even make the request. So my question is Que Bono? Who is the person who benefits the most from keeping it alive. I see its collapse as calamity that someone could actually benefit from. I think even congress wants it to be on the edge of collapse because they use it as a playing chip like they do with the debt ceiling.
Here is one more evidence they like it to be on the edge of collapse. Dollars in the US government are fungible. They had no problem raiding social security. Why not just fold its finances into the rest of the government and treat it like a separate tax and welfare program (what it actually is)? The semi-socialist folks would like that because it would secure their program. The libertarian in me likes it because it calls the program what it is. But removing long term problems is not what these people do.
That's why I don't believe they would murder a bunch of old people to solve a long term problem. It's the second half of that that makes no sense.

It didn't work.

Wow!
Very good. Clear, concise, and compelling.
Might need animating graphics over.
