That aside, nobody has ever said "expenditures" would be 9.9T, and certainly, the 75 year projected actual expenditures are much closer to 100 Trillion than they are 10 Trillion. For Part D? Wow...the republicans passed a bill that will spend 100T for prescription drugs alone....LOL...you are really a piece of work... What this means, for the simple-minded, is that you would have to deposit $10 Trillion today to be able to pay the expenses coming in over the next 75 years and end up with zero at that time. To be able to fund the program into perpetuity (that is, enough that the fund wasn't underfunded at the end of 75 years) you would have to deposit 21 Trillion today. First it was 15T, then 17T from mythical reports we never saw, now a new interpretation of "expenditures" in the trustees report....LOL...some bean counter you are...did you know that the trustees specifically differentiate "expenditures" by saying that Part D has no unfunded liabilities...do you know why they say that?
