Is ‘Today, Japan’s old age social security system is running at a deficit, is the whole country” in Forbes magazine a right sentence? [closed]

The author probably meant to write

“Today, Japan’s old age social security system is running at a deficit, as is the whole country. In my last post, I presented some of the warnings being voiced by the IMF at Japan’s fiscal improvidence.”

So, it's saying the social security system is running at a deficit, and that Japan as a whole is running at a deficit.
