Summary

This document contains two slides from a KPCB presentation analyzing US entitlement spending and trust funds. The first slide presents a financial table detailing entitlement revenue and expenses from 1995 to 2010, highlighting a 169% increase in expenses versus a 70% increase in funding. The second slide discusses the nature of Social Security and Medicare Part A Trust Funds, arguing they hold legal value but lack economic value as the funds are invested in non-marketable securities and have already been spent to reduce past borrowing needs.
