The Roulette Wheel Of National Death

I've seen this before, but never so detailed, look it over, but especially the last block in the bottom right corner of the main area.  Damn.

The National Debt Clock

But it also shows debts state by state, and all over the world.

    Scary is right ... if you just sit down and consider the magnitude of the numbers alone.

    I note a total for "unfunded" liabilities in lower right ... wonder just how they define "unfunded?" Recently I've noticed that even the WSJ calls Social Security an "unfunded" liability ... which I find odd since under "Payroll Taxes" they attribute nearly 40% of all federal revenue to said SSA and Medicare taxes collected.

    Where is the logic in ignoring taxes collected specifically for a program as NOT counting toward funding?
