“Of the available choices, I mean, it seems to me that the most reasonable of those three choices would be growing the assets of the trust fund at a higher rate. And then the question simply is, well, do we do that collectively, which is essentially what the President had proposed with investing a portion of the trust fund in equities, or do we do that through individual accounts?
