The Social Security fund needs to be diversified. The Treasury needs to pay back its trillions in IOU's and allow the SS trust fund to be invested in a much safer, diversified portfolio including investments in American businesses, ie jobs! The Fed borrowing money from SS with the promise to pay it back is equivlent to Pascuale Ponzi borrowing from Mario Ponzi. Both should sound the same alarms.
