'The Biggest Accounting Fraud: Social Security ' Writes Accountant J. Edward Ketz

Ketz's article immediately caught my attention. We are in total agreement that
the trust fund holds no real assets because the government has "borrowed" and

increase borrowing or cut benefits because there is nothing of value in the
trust fund; and that the solution to the short-term Social Security problem is
for the government to stop the looting and to make provisions for paying back
the money that it has already looted from American workers.
