Hubbard is either stupid or a liar.

First, the National Debt: $8,107,952,560,719.68 (over $8 Trillion)

Second, the unfunded estimated liability for SS is $3.7 Trillion. Hubbard said: "For Social Security it's $11 trillion". That is a lie.

Third, the two largest fiscal problems are Medicare (Over $20 trillion unfunded) and the General Fund Deficit. Note how Hubbard glossed over the budget deficit - a lie by omission.

Side note: Bush added $8.1 Trillion alone to Medicare with his drug plan.

Hubbard can't be this stupid ... I think he is just a liar.
