Background on Social Security Linkfest for North Carolina US Congressional and Senatorial Interviews and Races

If there’s trillions of dollars difference
between publicly outstanding debt investors can buy and sell
and non-marketable intragovernmental debt
who is it owed to
who has to pay how much more back and when
and why would those who know or should and don’t
let the country borrow trillions from itself
and why are most Americans unaware?

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew reminds Congress Social Security and myRA are Ponzi schemes

"...the last (and only previous) time ...the US unemployment rate dropped from 10% to 6.6%, [was from June 1983 to December 1986]

If there was more than $11 Trillion in Federal Debt
and there’s less than $7 trillion held by the public

I disagree with Bernie Sanders on this

http://hartzman.blogspot.com/2014/02/i-disagree-with-bernie-sanders-on-this.html

Some in our country think that Social Security is a trust fund
in other words there's a pile of money being accumulated…
because you put money in the government saves it for you
and then when you retire you get it out…

That's just simply not true

The money, payroll taxes going into Social Security, are spent

They're spent on benefits and they're spent on government programs

There is no trust

We're on the ultimate pay-as-you-go system…

The only thing Social Security has is a pile of IOUs
from one part of government to the next…
therefore when you have more retirees living longer for greater benefits
with fewer people paying in
the system inevitably will go into the red

George W Bush

President Barack Obama's myRA savings plan appears to be a Ponzi scheme; George Bush, Ron Paul, Paul Krugman etc...

"The economy is a Ponzi scheme."

http://hartzman.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-economy-is-ponzi-scheme.html

If Bernard Madoff
distributed money received from new investors to older investors
until there wasn’t enough money to continue
does Social Security operate under the same structure
with mandatory participation?

'Creative' accounting hurts future generations"

http://hartzman.blogspot.com/2013/10/creative-accounting-hurts-future.html

If Social Security taxes were increased in 1983
to ease the burden of a smaller generation
tasked with providing benefits to a larger number of longer living elders
why would elected leaders borrow and spend the surplus?

Greensboro City Council Members and Guilford County Commissioners are Fiduciaries.

If Guilford County's Commissioners vote to provide taxpayer revenue to borrow for this project without knowing what they should, they will have violated their fiduciary duties to their constituents.
.
.
"The fiduciary duty is a legal relationship of confidence or trust between two or more parties. One party…acts in a fiduciary capacity to another, such as one whose funds are entrusted to it. In a fiduciary relation, one person justifiably reposes confidence, good faith, reliance and trust in another whose aid, advice or protection is sought in some matter.

In such a relation, good conscience requires one to act at all times for the sole benefit and interests of another, with loyalty to those interests.

A fiduciary…must not put his personal interests before the duty, and must not profit from his position as a fiduciary, unless the principal consents.

A fiduciary cannot have a conflict of interest.

…A fiduciary must not profit from the fiduciary position.

This includes any benefits or profits which although unrelated to the fiduciary position, came about because of an opportunity that the fiduciary position afforded.

Secret commissions, or bribes also come under the no profit rule.

Conduct by a fiduciary may be deemed constructive fraud, when it is based on acts, omissions or concealments…that gives one an advantage."
