A teacher at an international school in Cambridge reports that 16-to-18-year-old accounting students increasingly struggle with basic knowledge, such as the number of weeks or days in a year. This lack of foundational understanding complicates accounting operations like depreciation and accruals. The hosts express concern for the future of the profession if students cannot perform simple calendar-based calculations.

### Social Security Trust Fund Deficit, Federal Bookkeeping Claims

- **Episode:** [367: Hats of State](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/367-hats-of-state.md)
- **Published:** 2011-12-22
- **Time:** 16:54–19:55
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/367-hats-of-state/chapter/social-security-trust-fund-deficit-federal-bookkeeping-claims.md

House Resolution 502 contains language stating that the Social Security Trust Fund is currently running a cash deficit and will require $6.5 trillion over 75 years to meet obligations. This admission contradicts previous government assurances regarding the fund's solvency. The deficit is compared to the financial struggles of the U.S. Postal Service, with suggestions that the numbers are manipulated through specific bookkeeping practices to justify policy changes.

### US Postal Service, Military Personnel Shifts

- **Episode:** [303: Starship Troopers 4](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/303-starship-troopers-4.md)
- **Published:** 2011-05-12

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/303-starship-troopers-4/chapter/us-postal-service-military-personnel-shifts.md

The US Postal Service reported a $2.2 billion loss, which the hosts argue is a result of government bookkeeping maneuvers rather than actual operational failure. Meanwhile, Robert G. Taub, a former Army official, has been appointed to the Postal Regulatory Commission. The hosts speculate this move integrates the postal service into the national intelligence and surveillance apparatus.
