Summary

This document consists of two slides (pages 83 and 84) from a KPCB presentation titled 'USA Inc. | Income Statement Drilldown.' The slides analyze US government entitlement spending, treating the nation as a corporation ('USA Inc.'). It highlights the difference between 'unfunded liabilities' and debt, noting that while laws can change, liabilities have historically increased. The second slide presents a chart showing the annual real net income of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid from 1940 to 2009, emphasizing a $5.6 trillion underfunding in healthcare entitlements. The Bates stamp 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020883' indicates this document was part of evidence reviewed by the House Oversight Committee, likely in relation to investigations involving financial institutions connected to Jeffrey Epstein.

...Entitlement Spending: Clarification On ‘Unfunded’ / ‘Net Responsibilities’
• Unless they are reduced, USA Inc.’s financial liabilities -- whether they are actual debt or the present value of future promises, whether called ‘unfunded’ liabilities or ‘net responsibilities’ and whether funded by dedicated taxes or general revenue – represent significant claims on USA Inc.’s future economic resources.
• To be sure, the projected unfunded liabilities are not the same as debt, because Congress can change the laws that are behind those future promises. With a few exceptions, however, over the past 60 years, lawmakers have acted to boost rather than reduce them.
