The government created the Petroleum Fund more than a decade ago as a repository for most of the royalties it receives from oil production. The $165 billion fund, overseen by the central bank, is intended for the day when oil resources in the North Sea start to dry up.

Criticise as much as you want, but compare their $165 Billion, in real money, saved against a rainy day, with our completely fraudulent Social Security "Trust Fund", and think about who is going to have the last laugh.

There's no such thing as real money when push comes to shove.
