TOTAL........................................................................................... $190,683
* Less than one million
COMBINED TOTAL = $2.675 Trillion = 43% of National Debt
ENTITLEMENTS ACCOUNT FOR 40% of National Debt
SOCIAL SECURITY ALONE IS 21.3 % OF THE NATIONAL DEBT
All of the 138 trust funds above hold nothing but special obligation nonmarketable (bogus) Treasury bonds. They never hold any real money. When needed, these markers will be turned in for cash from the Treasury's General Fund of current receipts from personal income and corporate taxes.

Surplus entitlement payments remain in the General Fund until spent by Congress and the Administration, at which time bogus bonds are deposited in these black hole debit accounts. Each account is then awarded annual interest without any cash involved.

These accounts are what the government calls "Intragovernmental Holdings" to carry out the fiction of having merely borrowed the money.

But the story doesn't stop there. The federal government has at least 14 real trust funds that it reports along with the above but labels as "Public Debt" because they are real and they don't know where else to put them. These funds hold positive negotiable assets and are not debt.
