Peak of the Week for a Peek Ahead

IOU’s by the Federal Government

The Federal Government has promised seniors, military, debt holders and employees but will not be able to deliver. Is this a bait and switch move, incompetence, or power clouds those with best intentions? Consider these facts now and peek into the future:

Medicare Enrollment Estimates          2010          48 million
                                                        2020          64 million
                                                        2030          81 million

Medicare SHORTFALL in              2010                             $1,800,000,000,000

Social Security SHORTFALL PER YEAR                          $1,200,000,000,000

The Federal Government has issued IOU’s to the social security trust fund in the amount of:
                                                                                          $2,600,000,000,000

The top 5-Hedge fund Managers earn PER YEAR:
                                                                                            $184,000,000,000

The top 5-most profitable companies on the Globe earn PER YEAR:
                                                                                            $ 75,000,000,000

How does this even equate for us going forward?
