Mer on trillioner

Flute skriver upplysande och förklarande och lyckas sätta i perspektiv hur stort USAs underskott eg är. Sedan kan man ju dessutom tillägga vad Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff Kotlikoff säger om underskottens storlek:

"The real liability facing our government is $70 trillion. This represents the present value difference between all the government's projected future spending obligations and all its projected future tax receipts. This fiscal gap takes into account Uncle Sam's need to service official debt--outstanding U.S. government bonds. But it also recognizes all our government's unofficial debts, including its obligation to the soon-to-be-retired baby boomers to pay their Social Security and Medicare benefits."
