From a recent Business Week article referenced here a few days ago: “...Kotlikoff concluded that the fiscal gap—i.e., the net present value of all future expenses minus all future revenue—amounts to $211 trillion.”

That $211 Trillion estimate is the largest one I've seen so far. More than mind boggling... Impossible to ever pay off...
