Social Security Article, Computer modeling of the trust fund
With all various claims flying around on Social Security, I decided to work the
numbers out for myself with a computer simulation. Here is an article I wrote
on the results.
In a nutshell: President George W. Bush is lying (but of course you aready knew
that)
The article details the computer model, compares it with the SS model, and
shows how trivial it is to fix Social Security. The code is open source (c++)
for any programmers that are interested (see below)

patently false. One of the most vocal among them is Princeton economist Paul
Krugman.
