@miami 10:02am The debate over Social Security being a trust or not has little to do with government bookkeeping and instead focuses on if it counts as savings. Does contributing to social security reduce encourage government to spend more money? I would rationalize that government would borrow that money from abroad if social security did not lend it. It is an insurance policy that holds money in a trust structure for some future benefit. Bookkeeping be damn, it sounds like a trust fund to me.
