Unfunded liabilities are FIVE TIMES GREATER than the national debt.
We recently crossed over the $18 TRILLION mark in our debt. Since then the debt has risen by nearly $100 billion. Nobody seems to care.
That " Nobody seems to care" is because Hollywood, Organized Sports, the educational system, the ETB cards, and Federal giveaway programs have did what they were designed to do. Specifically , divert the public's attention from the problem and keep them [the public] occupied, amused, and ignorant until the system collapses as the stresses they have placed on it will cause. When the system collapses, the people will cry and demand order, then they will take over. This plan, Create chaos, cause the people to demand order and accept tyranny to get order has worked throughout history where it has been tried. The French Revolution and the National Socialists takeover of Germany are two examples. It always works because there are so many variations of it. And people are always willing to give up some of their freedoms for the illusion of being made to "feel secure" by the Government.
