Trust "sweeping" (as it's euphemistically called) is such a perfect scam for the crooked politicians. Benefits are promised sometime in the distant (unseeable) future. Higher taxes *today*. The money sits there until they steal it to pay for some scheme completely unrelated to the one they sold us on.
In the case of education trust funds, that pilfered money has to be repaid. Sometime. In accounting terms that's a long-term liability, ie a LOAN.
So much for a balanced budget.
