Except that that's not true:

As is plainly clear - the Baby Boomers did NOT replace themselves in double. They didn't even replace themselves. The succeeding generation is smaller - thus it's harder to pay for their support.

True, but your graph doesn't explain the discrepancy between losing people from the workforce, and the increasing population. Actually the spike in birth around 1990 would be people entering the workforce starting a couple years ago through now.
