Corporate America Calling the Shots?

America corporations have 535 red and blue, Dem and Republicans (Christian Taliban) who do the bidding for Corporate America.

There is no difference.

None.

You know it.

I know it.

Nothing gets done.

$40,000,000,000,000 deep in debt (fraud?) today but no one is talking about the Medicare unfunded liabilities that are NOT on the balance sheet and the Social Security liabilities that are NOT on the balance sheet.

Here is GROK talking:

The bigger numbers you are pointing at are real, they are official, and they are mostly off the balance sheet.

What is on the books right now

Gross federal debt outstanding is about $40.1 trillion as of mid-September 2026.

Breakout from early September:

• Debt held by the public: ~$32.4 trillion
• Intragovernmental holdings (what Treasury owes the trust funds): ~$7.7 trillion

The FY 2025 Financial Report of the U.S. Government (as of Sept. 30, 2025) books $47.8 trillion of total liabilities:

• Federal debt and interest payable: $30.3 trillion
• Federal employee and veteran benefits: $15.5 trillion
• Other liabilities: ~$2.0 trillion
• Net position: –$41.7 trillion

Social Security and Medicare future shortfalls are not recorded as balance-sheet liabilities. Federal accounting rules put them in the Statement of Social Insurance instead. That is the “not on the balance sheet” point.

The off-balance-sheet numbers (official)

FY 2025 Financial Report, 75-year present value, open group:

Item	75-year PV shortfall
Social Security	$27.9 trillion
Medicare Part A (HI)	$3.3 trillion
Medicare Parts B & D (SMI)	$57.1 trillion
Other social insurance	$0.1 trillion
Total social insurance	$88.4 trillion

That $88.4 trillion is up $10.1 trillion from the prior year.

The 2026 Trustees Reports (newer than the FY 2025 financial statements) update Social Security and Part A:

• Social Security OASDI 75-year unfunded obligation: $29.3 trillion (as of Jan. 1, 2026)
• Social Security infinite-horizon unfunded obligation: $71.9 trillion
• Medicare Part A 75-year unfunded obligation: $4.2 trillion

Parts B and D do not “go insolvent” the same way. Law requires general-fund subsidies and premiums to be reset every year, so the shortfall shows up as future Treasury cash, not a trust-fund crash. That is why SMI is the largest single off-balance-sheet item.

When the trust funds run out under current law

• OASI (retirement): Q4 2032 — then only 78% of scheduled benefits can be paid
• Combined Social Security: 2034 — then 83%
• Medicare Part A: Q2 2033 — then 89% of Part A costs can be paid

Fraud vs the $40 trillion claim

There is no official $40 trillion fraud estimate. That number is the debt.

What the government does measure:

FY 2025 CMS improper payments (overpayments, underpayments, missing docs — not all fraud):

• Medicare FFS: $28.8 billion (6.55%)
• Medicare Advantage (Part C): $23.7 billion (6.09%)
• Part D: $4.2 billion (4.00%)
• Medicaid: $37.4 billion (6.12%)
• CHIP: $1.4 billion

Call it roughly $95 billion in one year across those programs. CMS itself says a large share is documentation/eligibility error, not proven fraud.

GAO has said there is still no reliable government-wide estimate of actual Medicare fraud. Recoveries are much smaller: state Medicaid Fraud Control Units reported about $2 billion recovered in FY 2025.

How to read it in one sentence

About $40 trillion is borrowed and on the Treasury debt clock. Another ~$15 trillion of federal worker/veteran benefits is on the official balance sheet. Social Security plus Medicare future shortfalls add on the order of $80–90 trillion over 75 years in present value — and those promises are not booked as liabilities.

Fraud is a real leak, but it is measured in tens of billions a year, not tens of trillions.

Let me ask you, you are reading this so you must have a couple of brain cells working, why aren't the CEO's, the CFO's, the Chief Risk Officers, the Chief Investment Officers being fired or led out in handcuffs for all the fraud?

The lack of accountability, the breach of fiduciary duty, the lack of oversight by BOD's, and of course the lack of any integrity in journalism and this is what America is left with.

Yes.

It's coming.

And don't get me started on FINRA or the SEC. All you need to know about the Securities & Exchange Commission is one word.

MADOFF.

Dylan Ratigan Talking Buffet

I was 24 years old when Warren Buffett invited me to sit next to him at a minor league baseball game in Omaha, Nebraska.

It was the late 1990s and the Omaha Royals were playing at Rosenblatt Stadium during Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting weekend. Buffett sat to my right; people came up one after another. Autographs, pictures, handshakes. In between, I peppered him with questions. Buffett was already one of the richest men in the world, however what interested me wasn’t his wealth. It was how he thought about capitalism.

Buffett believed the most important consideration was that capital should find good people. Give trustworthy people control of good businesses and resources. Let them work. Let them create real value over long periods of time. The product didn’t have to change the world, it could be Coca-Cola, it could be See’s Candy. What mattered was whether the people running the company could be trusted to allocate capital intelligently.

Then we started talking about the estate tax. I thought I understood it. I didn’t. 

Buffett didn’t describe the estate tax as a punishment for rich people.

He didn’t even principally describe it as a way for the government to raise money. He described it as critical part of the machinery of capitalism. 

Capital must circulate to ensure society adapts and grows. Europe had spent centuries building aristocracies in which enormous pools of wealth passed from one generation of a family to another and the continent had stagnated. America was built in direct rejection of this idea.

Buffett argued that America must be different. The people who created great fortunes had demonstrated an ability to allocate capital. (Monopoly and regulatory capture were not so prevalent at that time to make money.) The children of the rich had demonstrated only that they had chosen their parents well.

He gave me an analogy I never forgot. Imagine choosing the next Olympic team from the children of the current gold medalists. Maybe the fastest man’s son is fast, maybe his daughter is faster. But there is no reason to believe either is the fastest person in America….so why would we assume that the child of a brilliant capital allocator is also the person best qualified to allocate billions of dollars? Especially when this allocation is a critical function? Buffett’s argument was not against wealth. It was against an aristocracy that freezes the flow of capital to productive use. Break up enough dynastic capital and the money has to compete again. (This also assumes a trustworthy government that doesn’t squander our tax money on war and fraudulent government contracts.) The freed-up money finds the young entrepreneur, the engineer, the immigrant. The kid nobody has heard of with an idea nobody understands yet. The hungry people. 

That conversation changed how I understood the estate tax.

I stopped seeing it simply as a debate about taxation. I began seeing it as a debate about who gets the next chance. Warren Buffett has spent his life arguing that capitalism works best when capital follows ability rather than bloodline. 

He has also arranged for the overwhelming majority of his personal fortune to be given away rather than simply inherited by his children. But now, at the end of one of the greatest careers in American capitalism, his son Howard is succeeding him as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. There is an important distinction. Howard Buffett isn’t taking over Warren’s job running the company. Greg Abel is CEO. Howard’s role is different. Still, the symbolism is impossible to miss. The man who taught me that America should not choose its next economic leaders from the children of its previous winners—has chosen his son to guard the institution he built. Maybe there is no contradiction, just something endearingly human. But the larger principle he taught me that night remains more important than the irony. 

Healthy capitalism needs circulation, of money, of ownership, of opportunity, of power. When capital stops circulating, capitalism begins hardening into something else. The people who inherit the money keep the money usually with limited productive use. Children inherit the money, then they inherit the institutions and eventually they inherit the power. 

That isn’t capitalism finding the best and brightest. That’s the very aristocracy America was created to reject. 

I was 24 years old when Warren Buffett taught me the difference.

I never forgot it.poly and regulatory capture were not so prevalent tha

Healthy and Unhealthy

Here are two Ghost Ranch female whitetail deer.  Both have fawns.

One is healthy.

One is not.

The deer with the fecal matter around and under her tail is unhealthy.

I doubt she makes it this winter.  Her fawn is poor as well.  Small size, poor coat.

Coyotes and eagles will dine on her soon enough.

 

Straight up honesty

AARON RODGERS: “About 85% of the population got it, never realizing, in my view, that it was a psy-op… 

A test of compliance during what I believe was bio-warfare.” 

“They were arresting surfers. What did any of that have to do with public safety?”

 “To me, it was all about seeing what they could get away with.”

“We lived through a multi-trillion-dollar worldwide psy-op designed to see how much control they had over us.”

 “I don't know one unvaxxed person who says, ‘Man, I wish I'd gotten that shot.’

 “I’m going to say what I believe is the truth."e truth.”

HARRY FISHER

Harry Fisher is an EMT who  has witnessed  a few horrific things after COVID shots arrived that he rarely or never saw before the shots:  

-myocarditis 

-glioblastoma

 -Rotting genitals 

-Aortic dissection 

-Young strokes 

-Young heart a or never saw before attacks
-Cancer that kills within weeks to months of diagnoses (nickname turbo cancer)  

-Suicide disease 

-miscarriages with extreme bleeding, record numbers

-a large portion of society that would rather back big pharma than listen to their fellow man.

God bless Harry Fisher for bringing light to the criminality of COVID.

Harry Fisher is an American paramedic (Nationally Registered Paramedic) and military veteran known for speaking publicly about what he observed as an EMT and paramedic during and after the COVID-19 period.

He became an EMT in 1997 and a paramedic around 2012–2013. He served as a medic in both the U.S. Army and Air Force (including as a paratrooper). After the military he worked street-level ambulance, ER, and ICU roles, including 911 work in Oklahoma City and later contract assignments in places such as New York, North Dakota, and Alaska. His home base is Oklahoma. In 2018 he and his wife Shiann (also an EMT at the time) were featured locally as a husband-and-wife EMT team.

Public profile and claims

Fisher gained attention after posting videos and accounts of calls he ran, including CPR at a Pfizer vaccination site early in the rollout where a nurse remarked it was the second such event in two weeks. He describes seeing a rise in sudden cardiac arrests, ventricular tachycardia, strokes, aortic dissections, and aggressive cancers in younger and previously healthy patients after the shots became available—patterns he says he did not see in the prior 20+ years. He frames these as field observations from 911 calls and hospital work, not as peer-reviewed epidemiology.

He was banned from TikTok (cited as “terroristic activity”), faced other platform removals, and reported being terminated from a contract job in late 2024 after refusing to administer COVID shots and over social-media activity. He has appeared on podcasts including Bret Weinstein’s DarkHorse, Ask Dr. Drew, and others.

Book

He co-authored Safe and Effective, For Profit: A Paramedic’s Story Exposing An American Genocide (with Stephanie Pierucci). The book collects his frontline stories, criticism of protocols and mandates, and his view that the response amounted to large-scale harm. Sites associated with it are fishersbook.com and harryfisher.life.

He remains active on X as @harryfisherEMTP. There has been online dispute about the current status of his Oklahoma paramedic license (some public comments have claimed expiration; he has stated he is still an active paramedic and that records are public).

His account is one paramedic’s testimony from the back of the ambulance and contract shifts. It is widely cited in vaccine-skeptical circles and contested by those who view the same period through official public-health data.
