A National Debt of $14 Trillion? Try $211 Trillion Courtesy of Boston University Lawrence J. Kotkoff Senior Economists, Reagan Administration Lawrence J. Kotkoff : “If you add up all the promises that have been made for spending obligations including defense expenditures, and you subtract all the taxes that we expect to collect, the difference is $211 trillion. That’s the fiscal gap,” he says. “That’s our true indebtedness.”

26 The story of The Fed Family

27 Joe Judy Johnny Sally and Max!

28 Joe has a good job and plans to retire in 5 years. THE SITUATION Judy stays home with the children. Grandma had a stroke last year and is in a coma. Johnny and Sally attend private school.

29 Joe has a nice income of $129,000 per year. However, the Fed Family is living beyond their means. They have no cash and had to add over $12,000 to their credit card debt 2010 Gross Domestic Product The Fed Family share of the 2010 deficit

30 They have $79,473 in credit card debt In order to make ends meet, Joe borrowed all the money from Grandma’s trust account: $40,149 Fed Family share of publicly held debt Fed Family share of amount “borrowed” from Social Security trust fund

31 Grandma’s estimated care at the Park Avenue Nursing Home over the next several years is: $200,000 But Joe doesn’t think he’s signed a contract, so he isn’t worried…. Fed Family share of obligation to Social Security and Medicare Some say this estimated obligation is not a liability…

32... so the Fed Family got together and had a family meeting …

33 Why do we have to pay for Grandma? The latest plan to privatize Medicare. Or is it?

34 Let’s not visit Aunt Frieda this Saturday! Great idea! But that will only save $263! The value of $30 billion in cuts toward deficit reduction

35 I know, I’ll go to the bank and extend our credit card limits! Unfortunately Joe’s bank is now a subsidiary of the Bank of China and won’t extend more credit until the Fed Family gets its act together! As of May 2011, China holds 36 percent of all foreign-owned Treasury Securities (16 percent of total public debt)

36 No, we all need to chip in to get out of the mess your father got us into!

37 Joe ― resigns himself to working 5 more years Johnny and Sally ― go to public school Max ― gets dry dog food Grandma ― moves to a more suitable nursing home Judy ― takes a part-time job Bank extends credit after approving a payment plan that begins to reduce the outstanding balance THE PLAN
