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.
