...public will be $50 billion higher than if the budget was balanced--but $100 billion less than if there weren't a $150 billion Social Security surplus. The government owes somebody an extra $50 billion, but the situation of the Social Security trust fund is exactly the same in either case...
...budget. If the government were to default on its bonds, the trust fund would suffer a loss and (though there is no necessary legal connection) payments might have to be reduced. And a larger government deficit makes a default more likely. But the chance of the government's defaulting either on its bonds or its Social Security obligations is infinitesimal, and the effect of even a $150 billion deficit on this chance is tinier...

Most asteroids are thought to be about three times as dense as water, but Eugenia is barely 20% denser, suggesting it either is made of loosely packed rubble or is rich in ordinary ice. Further analysis could help settle the question, and more discoveries of more moonlets could shed similar light on Eugenia's asteroid-belt sisters...
