After a corporation has agreed to make a payoff, the problem arises of how to transfer the money.

Thus the trust fund is not, never has been, and never can be large enough to meet all potential claims on the system: that would require several trillion dollars. Its true purpose is to provide a cushion...
...disappointed, complained for the next two months to just about anyone who would listen. Individually and collectively they visited Eleanor C.
