As of September 3, 2013, the official debt of the United States government
is $16.7 trillion ($16,738,618,787,875).[1] This amounts to:
� $52,909 for every person living in the U.S.[2]
� $138,240 for every household in the U.S.[3]
� 100% of the U.S. gross domestic product.[4]
� 526% of annual federal revenues.[5]
* Publicly traded companies are legally required to account for "explicit"
and "implicit" future obligations such as employee pensions and retirement
benefits.[6] [7] [8] The federal budget, which is the "federal government's
primary financial planning and control tool," is not bound by this rule.[9]
[10]
* At the close of the federal government's 2012 fiscal year (September 30,
2012), the federal government had roughly:
� $7.5 trillion ($7,517,000,000,000) in liabilities that are not
accounted for in the national debt, such as federal employee retirement
benefits, accounts payable, and environmental/disposal liabilities.[11]
� $21.6 trillion ($21,622,000,000,000) in obligations for current
Social Security participants above and beyond projected revenues from their
payroll and benefit taxes, certain transfers from the general fund of the U.
S. Treasury, and assets of the Social Security trust fund.[12]
� $27.0 trillion ($27,000,000,000,000) in obligations for current
Medicare participants above and beyond projected revenues from their payroll
taxes, benefit taxes, premium payments, and assets of the Medicare trust
fund.[13]
The figures above are determined in a manner that approximates how publicly
traded companies are required to calculate their liabilities and obligations
.[14] [15] [16] The obligations for Social Security and Medicare represent
how much money must be immediately placed in interest-bearing investments to
cover the projected shortfalls between dedicated revenues and expenditures
for all current participants in these programs (both taxpayers and
beneficiaries).[17] [18] [19]
* Combining the figures above with the national debt and subtracting the
value of federal assets, the federal government had about $67.7 trillion ($
67,726,000,000,000) in debts, liabilities, and unfinanced obligations for
current Social Security and Medicare participants at the close of its 2012
fiscal year.[20]
* This $67.7 trillion shortfall is 105% of the combined net worth of all U.S
. households and nonprofit organizations, including all assets in savings,
real estate, corporate stocks, private businesses, and consumer durable
goods such as automobiles.[21] [22] | l****z
