[Fot] cams and roaches and such

[Bill Babcock]

In my research for the book I came to the odd conclusion that Social Security is doing a lot better job than I expected. Most of the popular criticism seems to be political posturing. My assumptions going in were almost completely wrong. One of the reasons I like writing about stuff I know little about.

There is an entire industry, the Actuaries, that are available to guide Pension Funds and their investments to keep them solvent.  The fund I served on has done a good job so far, and remains solvent.  FICA (Social Security)...not so much.
