About USA Inc. Created and Compiled by Mary Meeker February 2011 This report looks at the federal government as if it were a business, with the goal of informing the debate about our nation’s financial situation and outlook. In it, we examine USA Inc.’s income statement and balance sheet. We aim to interpret the underlying data and facts and illustrate patterns and trends in easy-to-understand ways. We analyze the drivers of federal revenue and the history of expense growth, and we examine basic scenarios for how America might move toward positive cash flow. Thanks go out to Liang Wu and Fred Miller and former Morgan Stanley colleagues whose contributions to this report were invaluable. In addition, Richard Ravitch, Emil Henry, Laura Tyson, Al Gore, Meg Whitman, John Cogan, Peter Orszag and Chris Liddell provided inspiration and insights as the report developed. It includes a 2-page foreword; a 12-page text summary; and 460 PowerPoint slides containing data-rich observations. There’s a lot of material — think of it as a book that happens to be a slide presentation. We hope the slides in particular provide relevant context for the debate about America’s financials. To kick-start the dialogue, we are making the entire slide portion of the report available as a single work for non-commercial distribution (but not for excerpting, or modifying or creating derivatives) under the Creative Commons license. The spirit of connectivity and sharing has become the essence of the Internet, and we encourage interested parties to use the slides to advance the discussion of America’s financial present and future. If you would like to add your own data-driven observations, contribute your insights, improve or clarify ours, please contact us to request permission and provide your suggestions. This document is only a starting point for discussion; the information in it will benefit greatly from your thoughtful input.

Foreword George P. Shultz, Paul Volcker, Michael Bloomberg, Richard Ravitch and John Doerr February 2011 Our country is in deep financial trouble. Federal, state and local governments are deep in debt yet continue to spend beyond their means, seemingly unable to stop. Our current path is simply unsustainable. What to do? A lot of people have offered suggestions and proposed solutions. Few follow the four key guideposts to success that we see for setting our country back on the right path: 1) create a deep and widely held perception of the reality of the problem and the stakes involved; 2) reassure citizens that there are practical solutions; 3) develop support in key constituencies; and 4) determine the right timing to deliver the solutions. USA Inc. uses each of these guideposts, and more; it is full of ideas that can help us build a better future for our children and our country. First, Mary Meeker and her co-contributors describe America’s problems in an imaginative way that should allow anyone to grasp them both intellectually and emotionally. By imagining the federal government as a company, they provide a simple framework for understanding our current situation. They show how deficits are piling up on our income statement as spending outstrips income and how our liabilities far exceed nominal assets on our balance sheet. USA Inc. also considers additional assets — hard to value physical assets and our intangible wealth — our creativity and energy and our tradition of an open, competitive society. Additionally, the report considers important trends, pointing specifically to an intolerable failure to educate many in the K-12 grades, despite our knowledge of how to do so. And all these important emotional arguments help drive a gut reaction to add to data provided to reinforce the intellectual reasons we already have. Second, USA Inc. provides a productive way to think about solving our challenges. Once we have created an emotional and intellectual connection to the problem, we want people to act and drive the solution, not to throw up their hands in frustration. The authors’ ingenious indirect approach is to ask what a turnaround expert would do and what questions he or she would ask. The report describes how we first stumbled into this mess, by failing to predict the magnitude of program costs, by creating perverse incentives for excessive behavior, and by missing important trends. By pointing to the impact of individual responsibility, USA /nc. gives us reason to believe that a practical solution exists and can be realized. CB www.kpcb.com USA Inc. @ iii HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020826
Third, the report highlights how powerful bipartisan constituencies have emerged in the past to tackle great issues for the betterment of our nation, including tax reform, civil liberties, healthcare, education and national defense. Just as presidents of both parties rose to the occasion to preside over the difficult process of containment during the half-century cold war, we know we can still find leaders who are willing to step up and overcome political or philosophical differences for a good cause, even in these difficult times. Finally, the report makes an important contribution to the question of timing. Momentum will follow once the process begins to gain support, and USA Inc. should help by stimulating broad recognition and understanding of the challenges, by providing ways to think about solutions, and by helping constituencies of action to emerge. As the old saying goes, “If not now, when? If not us, who?” With this pioneering report, we have a refreshing, business-minded approach to understanding and addressing our nation’s future. Read on...you may be surprised by how much you learn. We hope you will be motivated to help solve the problem! CB www.kpcb.com USA Inc. — iv HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020827

Summary Imagine for a moment that the United States government is a public corporation. Imagine that its management structure, fiscal performance, and budget are all up for review. Now imagine that you’re a shareholder in USA Inc. How do you feel about your investment? Because 45% of us own shares in publicly traded companies, nearly half the country expects quarterly updates on our investments. But although 100% of us are stakeholders in the United States, very few of us look closely at Washington’s financials. If we were long-term investors, how would we evaluate the federal government’s business model, strategic plans, and operating efficiency? How would we react to its earnings reports? Nearly two-thirds of all American households pay federal income taxes, but very few of us take the time to dig into the numbers of the entity that, on average, collects 13% of our annual gross income (not counting another 15- 30% for payroll and various state and local taxes). We believe it’s especially important to pay closer attention to one of our most important investments. As American citizens and taxpayers, we care about the future of our country. As investors, we’re in an on-going search for data and insights that will help us make more informed investment decisions. It’s easier to predict the future if one has a keen understanding of the past, but we found ourselves struggling to find good information about America’s financials. So we decided to assemble — in one place and in a user-friendly format — some of the best data about the world’s biggest “business.” We also provide some historical context for how USA Inc.’s financial model has evolved over decades. And, as investors, we look at trend lines which help us understand the patterns (and often future directions) of key financial drivers like revenue and expenses. The complexity of USA Inc.’s challenges is well Known, and our presentation is just a starting point; it’s far from perfect or complete. But we are convinced that citizens — and investors — should understand the business of their government. Thomas Jefferson and Alexis de Tocqueville knew that — armed with the right information — the enlightened citizenry of America would make the right decisions. It is our humble hope that a transparent financial framework can help inform future debates. In the conviction that every citizen should understand the finances of USA Inc. and the plans of its “management team,” we examine USA Inc.’s income statement and balance sheet and present them in a basic, easy-to-use format. We summarize our thoughts in PowerPoint form and in this brief text summary at www.kpcb.com/usainc. We encourage people to take our data and thoughts and study them, critique them, augment them, share them, and make them better. There’s a lot of material — think of it as a book that happens to be a slide presentation. CB www.kpcb.com USA Inc. _ vii HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020830
There are two caveats. First, we do not make policy recommendations. We try to help clarify some of the issues in a straightforward, analytical way. We aim to present data, trends, and facts about USA Inc.’s key revenue and expense drivers to provide context for how its financials have reached their present state. Our observations come from publicly available information, and we use the tools of basic financial analysis to interpret it. Forecasts generally come from 3rd-party agencies like the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the nonpartisan federal agency charged with reviewing the financial impact of legislation. Second, the ‘devil is in the details.’ For US policy makers, the timing of material changes will be especially difficult, given the current economic environment. By the standards of any public corporation, USA Inc.’s financials are discouraging. True, USA Inc. has many fundamental strengths. On an operating basis (excluding Medicare and Medicaid spending and one-time charges), the federal government’s profit & loss statement is solid, with a 4% median net margin over the last 15 years. But cash flow is deep in the red (by almost $1.3 trillion last year, or -$11,000 per household), and USA Inc.’s net worth is negative and deteriorating. That net worth figure includes the present value of unfunded entitlement liabilities but not hard-to-value assets such as natural resources, the power to tax or mint currency, or what Treasury calls “heritage” or “stewardship assets” like national parks. Nevertheless, the trends are clear, and critical warning signs are evident in nearly every data point we examine.

Underfunded entitlements are among the most severe financial burdens USA Inc. faces. And because some of the most underfunded programs are intended to help the nation’s poorest, the electorate must understand the full dimensions of the challenges.

But defense spending is still below its 7% share of GDP from 1948 to 2000; it accounted for 20% of the budget in 2010, compared with 41% of all government spending between 1789 and 1930. The principal challenges lie elsewhere. Since the Great Depression, USA Inc. has steadily added “business lines” and, with the best of intentions, created various entitlement programs. They serve many of the nation’s poorest, whose struggles have been made worse by the recent financial crisis. Apart from Social Security and unemployment insurance, however, funding for these programs has been woefully inadequate — and getting worse. Entitlement expenses amount to $16,000 per household per year, and entitlement spending far outstrips funding, by more than $1 trillion (or $9,000 per household) in 2010. More than 35% of the US population receives entitlement dollars or is on the government payroll, up from ~20% in 1966. Given the high correlation of rising entitlement income with declining savings, do Americans feel less compelled to save if they depend on the government for their future savings? It is interesting to note that in China the household savings rate is ~36%, per our estimates based on CEIC data, in part due to a higher degree of self-reliance — and far fewer established pension plans. In the USA, the personal savings rate (defined as savings as percent of disposable income) was 6% in 2010 and only 3% from 2000 to 2008. CB www.kpcb.com USA Inc. ix HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020832
Millions of Americans have come to rely on Medicare and Medicaid — and spending has skyrocketed, to 21% of USA Inc.’s total expenses (or $724B) in F2010, up from 5% forty years ago. Together, Medicaid and Medicare — the programs providing health insurance to low-income households and the elderly, respectively — now account for 35% of total healthcare spending in the USA. Since their creation in 1965, both programs have expanded markedly. Medicaid now serves 16% of all Americans, compared with 2% at its inception; Medicare now serves 15% of the population, up from 10% in 1966. As more Americans receive benefits and as healthcare costs continue to outstrip GDP growth, total spending for the two entitlement programs is accelerating. Over the last decade alone, Medicaid spending has doubled in real terms, with total program costs running at $273 billion in F2010. Over the last 43 years, real Medicare spending per beneficiary has risen 25 times, driving program costs well (10x) above original projections. In fact, Medicare spending exceeded related revenues by $272 billion last year. Amid the rancor about government’s role in healthcare spending, one fact is undeniable: government spending on healthcare now consumes 8.2% of GDP, compared with just 1.3% fifty years ago.

Source: Dept. of Education, Dept. of Heaith & Human Services. EI www. kpcb.com USA Inc, | Summary The overall healthcare funding mix in the US is skewed toward private health insurance due to the predominance of employer-sponsored funding (which covers 157MM working Americans and their families, or 58% of the total population in 2008 vs. 64% in 1999). This mixed private-public funding scheme has resulted in implicit cross-subsidies, whereby healthcare providers push KP CB www.kpcb.com USA Inc. =X HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020833
costs onto the private market to help subsidize lower payments from public programs. This tends to help drive a cycle of higher private market costs causing higher insurance premiums, leading to the slow erosion of private market coverage and a greater enrollment burden for government programs. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, enacted in early 2010, includes the biggest changes to healthcare since 1965 and will eventually expand health insurance coverage by ~10%, to 32 million new lives. Increased access likely means higher spending if healthcare costs continue to grow 2 percentage points faster than per capita income (as they have over the past 40 years). The CBO sees a potential $143B reduction in the deficit over the next 10 years, but this assumes that growth in Medicare costs will slow — an assumption the CBO admits is highly uncertain. Unemployment Insurance and Social Security are adequately funded...for now. Their future, unfortunately, isn’t so clear. Unemployment Insurance is cyclical and, apart from the 2007-09 recession, generally operates with a surplus. Payroll taxes kept Social Security mainly at break-even until 1975-81 when expenses began to exceed revenue. Reforms that cut average benefits by 5%, raised tax rates by 2.3%, and increased the full retirement age by 3% (to 67) restored the system’s stability for the next 25 years, but the demographic outlook is poor for its pay-as-you-go funding structure. In 1950, 100 workers supported six beneficiaries; today, 100 workers support 33 beneficiaries. Since Social Security began in 1935, American life expectancy has risen 26% (to 78), but the “retirement age’ for full benefits has increased only 3%. Regardless of the emotional debate about entitlements, fiscal reality can’t be ignored — if these programs aren’t reformed, one way or another, USA Inc.’s balance sheet will go from bad to worse.

Source: White House Office of Management and Budget. a PS sacs rpeo com USA Inc. | Summary Take a step back, and imagine what the founding fathers would think if they saw how our country’s finances have changed. From 1790 to 1930, government spending on average accounted for just 3% of American GDP. Today, government spending absorbs closer to 24% of GDP. It’s likely that they would be even more surprised by the debt we have taken on to pay for this expansion. As a percentage of GDP, the federal government’s public debt has doubled over the last 30 years, to 53% of GDP. This figure does not include claims on future resources from underfunded entitlements and potential liabilities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs). If it did include these claims, gross federal debt accounted for 94% of GDP in 2010. The public debt to GDP ratio is likely to triple to 146% over the next 20 years, per CBO. The main reason is entitlement expense. Since 1970, these costs have grown 5.5 times faster than GDP, while revenues have lagged, especially corporate tax revenues. By 2037, cumulative deficits from Social Security could add another $11.6 trillion to the public debt. The problem gets worse. Even as USA Inc.’s debt has been rising for decades, plunging interest rates have kept the cost of supporting it relatively steady. Last year’s interest bill would have been 155% (or $290 billion) higher if rates had been at their 30-year average of 6% (vs. 2% in 2010). As debt levels rise and interest rates normalize, net interest payments could grow 20% or more annually. Below-average debt maturities in recent years have also kept the Treasury’s borrowing costs down, but this trend, too, will drive up interest payments once interest rates rise. CB www.kpcb.com USA Inc. — xii HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020835
Can we afford to wait until the turning point comes? By 2025, entitlements plus net interest payments will absorb all — yes, all — of USA Inc.'s revenue, per CBO.

Note that entitlement spending includes federal government expenditures on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Data in our chart is based on CBO’s ‘alternative fisca/ scenario’ forecast, which assumes a continuation of today’s underlying fiscal policy. Note that CBO aiso maintains an ‘extended-baseline’ scenario, which adheres closely to current law. The ailternative fiscal scenario deviates from CBO’s baseline because it incorporates some policy changes that are widely expected fo occur (such as extending the 2001-2003 tax cuts rather than letting them expire as scheduled by current law and adjusting physician payment rates to be in line with the Medicare economic index rather than at fower scheduled rates) and that policymakers have requiarly made in the past. www.kpcb.com USA Inc. | Summary Less than 15 years from now, in other words, USA Inc. — based on current forecasts for revenue and expenses - would have nothing left over to spend on defense, education, infrastructure, and R&D, which today account for only 32% of USA Inc. spending, down from 69% forty years ago. This critical juncture is getting ever closer. Just ten years ago, the CBO thought federal revenue would support entitlement spending and interest payments until 2060 — 35 years beyond its current projection. This dramatic forecast change over the past ten years helps illustrate, in our view, how important it is to focus on the here-and-now trend lines and take actions based on those trends. How would a turnaround expert determine ‘normal’ revenue and expenses? The first step would be to examine the main drivers of revenue and expenses. It’s not a pretty picture. While revenue — mainly taxes on individual and corporate income — is highly correlated (83%) with GDP growth, expenses — mostly entitlement spending — are less correlated (73%) with GDP. With that as backdrop, our turnaround expert might try to help management and shareholders (citizens) achieve a long-term balance by determining “normal” levels of revenue and expenses: CB www.kpcb.com USA Inc. xiii HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020836
* From 1965 to 2005 (a period chosen to exclude abnormal trends related to the recent recession), annual revenue growth (3%) has been roughly in line with GDP growth, but corporate income taxes have grown 2% a year. Social insurance taxes grew 5% annually and represented 37% of USA Inc. revenue, compared with 19% in 1965. An expert might ask: o What level of social insurance or entitlement taxes can USA Inc. support without reducing job creation? o Are low corporate income taxes important to global competitive advantage and stimulating growth? * Entitlement spending has risen 5% a year on average since 1965, well above average annual GDP growth of 3%, and now absorbs 51% of all expenses, more than twice its share in 1965. Defense and non-defense discretionary spending (including infrastructure, education, and law enforcement) is up just 1-2% annually over that period. Questions for shareholders: o Do USA Inc.’s operations run at maximum efficiency? Where are the opportunities for cost savings? o Should all expense categories be benchmarked against GDP growth? Should some grow faster or slower than GDP? If so, what are the key determinants? o Would greater investment in infrastructure, education, and global competitiveness yield more long-term security for the elderly and disadvantaged? With expenses outstripping revenues by a large (and growing) margin, a turnaround expert would develop an analytical framework for readjusting USA Inc.’s business model and strategic plans. Prudence would dictate that our expert assume below-trend GDP growth and above-trend unemployment, plus rising interest rates — all of which would make the base case operating scenario fairly gloomy. This analysis can’t ignore our dependence on entitlements. Almost one-third of all Americans have grown up in an environment of lean savings and heavy reliance on government healthcare subsidies. It’s not just a question of numbers — it’s a question of our responsibilities as citizens...and what kind of society we want to be. Some 90 million Americans (out of a total population of 307 million) have grown accustomed to support from entitlement programs; so, too, have 14 million workers in the healthcare industry who, directly or indirectly, benefit from government subsidies via Medicare and Medicaid. Low personal savings and high unemployment make radical change difficult. Political will can be difficult to summon, especially during election campaigns. B GB www.kpcb.com USA Inc. xiv HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020837
At the same time, however, these numbers don’t lie. With our demographics and our debts, we’re on a collision course with the future. The good news: Although time is growing short, we still have the capacity to create positive outcomes. Even though USA Inc. can print money and raise taxes, USA Inc. cannot sustain its financial imbalance indefinitely — especially as the Baby Boomer generation nears retirement age. Net debt levels are approaching warning levels, and some polls suggest that Americans consider reducing debt a national priority. Change is legally possible. Unlike underfunded pension liabilities that can bankrupt companies, USA Inc.’s underfunded liabilities are not legal contracts. Congress has the authority to change the level and conditions for Social Security and Medicare benefits; the federal government, together with the states, can also alter eligibility and benefit levels for Medicaid. Options for entitlement reform, operating efficiency, and stronger long-term GDP growth. As analysts, not public policy experts, we can offer mathematical illustrations as a framework for discussion (not necessarily as actual solutions). We also present policy options from third-party organizations such as the CBO. Reforming entitlement programs — Social Security. The underfunding could be addressed through some or all of the following mechanical changes: increasing the full retirement age to as high as 73 (from the current level of 67); and/or reducing average annual social security benefits by up to 12% (from $13,010 to $11,489); and/or increasing the social security tax rate from 12.4% to 14.2%. Options proposed by the CBO include similar measures, as well as adjustments to initial benefits and index levels. Of course, the low personal savings rates of average Americans — 3% of disposable income, compared with a 10% average from 1965 to 1985 — limit flexibility, at least in the early years of any reform. Reforming entitlement programs — Medicare and Medicaid. Mathematical illustrations for these programs, the most underfunded, seem draconian: Reducing average Medicare benefits by 53%, to $5,588 per year, or increasing the Medicare tax rate by 3.9 percentage points, to 6.8%, or some combination of these changes would address the underfunding of Medicare. As for Medicaid, the lack of a dedicated funding stream (i.e., a tax similar to the Medicare payroll tax) makes the math even more difficult. But by one measure from the Kaiser Family Foundation, 60% of the Medicaid budget in 2001 was spent on so-called optional recipients (such as mid- to low-income population above poverty level) or on optional services (such as dental services and prescription drug benefits). Reducing or controlling these benefits could help control Medicaid spending — but increase the burden on some poor and disabled groups. Ultimately, the primary issue facing the US healthcare system is ever-rising costs, historically driven by increases in price and utilization. Beneath sustained medical cost inflation is an entitlement mentality bolted onto a volume-based reimbursement scheme. All else being equal, the outcome is an incentive to spend: Underlying societal, financial, and liability factors combine to fuel an inefficient, expensive healthcare system.

Improving operating efficiency. With nearly one government civilian worker (federal, state and local) for every six households, efficiency gains seem possible. A 20-year trend line of declining federal civilian headcount was reversed in the late 1990s. Resuming that trend would imply a 15% potential headcount reduction over five years and save nearly $300 billion over the next ten years. USA Inc. could also focus intensively on local private company outsourcing, where state and local governments are finding real productivity gains. Improving long-term GDP growth — productivity and employment. Fundamentally, federal revenues depend on GDP growth and related tax levies on consumers and businesses. Higher GDP growth won't be easy to achieve as households rebuild savings in the aftermath of a recession. To break even without changing expense levels or tax policies, USA Inc. would need real GDP growth of 6-7% in F2012-14 and 4-5% in F2015-20, according to our estimates based on CBO data — highly unlikely, given 40-year average GDP growth of 3%. While USA Inc. could temporarily increase government spending and investment to make up for lower private demand in the near term, the country needs policies that foster productivity and employment gains for sustainable long-term economic growth.

Since the 1960s, as more resources have gone to entitlements and interest payments, USA Inc. has scaled back its investment in technology R&D and infrastructure as percentages of GDP. Competitors are making these investments. India plans to double infrastructure spending as a percent of GDP by 2013, and its tertiary (college) educated population will double over the next ten years, according to Morgan Stanley analysts, enabling its GDP growth to accelerate to 9- 10% annually by 2015 (China’s annual GDP growth is forecast to remain near 8% by 2015). USA Inc. can’t match India’s demographic advantage, but technology can help. KP CB www.kpcb.com USA Inc. xvi HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020839
For employment gains, USA Inc. should minimize tax and regulatory uncertainties and encourage businesses to add workers. While hiring and R&D-related tax credits may add to near-term deficits, over time, they should drive job and GDP growth. Immigration reform could also help: A Federal Reserve study in 2010 shows that immigration does not take jobs from U.S.-born workers but boosts productivity and income per worker. Changing tax policies. Using another simple mechanical illustration, covering the 2010 budget deficit (excluding one- time charges) by taxes alone would mean doubling individual income tax rates across the board, to roughly 26-30% of gross income, we estimate. Such major tax increases would ultimately be self-defeating if they reduce private income and consumption. However, reducing tax expenditures and subsidies such as mortgage interest deductions would broaden the tax base and net up to $1.7 trillion in additional revenue over the next decade, per CBO. A tax based on consumption - like a value added tax (VAT) - could also redirect the economy toward savings and investment, though there would be drawbacks. These issues are undoubtedly complex, and difficult decisions must be made. But inaction may be the greatest risk of all. The time to act is now, and our first responsibility as investors in USA Inc. is to understand the task at hand. Our review finds serious challenges in USA Inc.’s financials. The ‘management team’ has created incentives to spend on healthcare, housing, and current consumption. At the margin, investing in productive capital, education, and technology — the very tools needed to compete in the global marketplace — has stagnated.

With these trends, USA Inc. will not be immune to the sudden crises that have afflicted others with similar unfunded liabilities, leverage, and productivity trends. The sovereign credit issues in Europe suggest what might lie ahead for USA Inc. shareholders — and our children. In effect, USA Inc. is maxing out its credit card. It has fallen into a pattern of spending more than it earns and is issuing debt at nearly every turn. Common principles for overcoming this kind of burden include the following: 1) Acknowledge the problem — some 80% of Americans believe ‘dealing with our growing budget deficit and national debt’ is a national priority, according to a Peter G. Peterson Foundation survey in 11/09; 2) Examine past errors — People need clear descriptions and analysis to understand how the US arrived at its current financial condition — a ‘turnaround CEO’ would certainly initiate a ‘no holds barred’ analysis of the purpose, success and operating efficiency of all of USA Inc.’s spending; 3) | Make amends for past errors — Most Americans today at least acknowledge the problems at personal levels and say they rarely or never spend more than what they can afford (63% according to a 2007 Pew Research study). The average American knows the importance of managing a budget. Perhaps more would be willing to sacrifice for the greater good with an understandable plan to serve the country’s long-term best interests; 4) Develop a new code of behavior — Policymakers, businesses (including investment firms), and citizens need to share responsibility for past failures and develop a plan for future successes. Past generations of Americans have responded to major challenges with collective sacrifice and hard work. Will ours also rise to the occasion? CB www.kpcb.com USA Inc. xviii HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020841

Presentation Premise For America to remain the great country it has been for the past 235 years, it must determine the best ways to honor the government’s fundamental mission derived from the Constitution: ...to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. To this end, government should aim to help create a vibrant environment for economic growth and productive employment. It should manage its operations and programs as effectively and efficiently as possible, improve its financial position by driving the federal government's income statement to long-term break-even, and reduce the unsustainable level of debt on its balance sheet. KP i USA Inc. | Introduction 7 USA Inc. Concept Healthy financials and compelling growth prospects are key to success for businesses (and countries). So if the US federal government — which we call USA Inc. — were a business, how would public shareholders view it? How would long-term investors evaluate the federal government's business model, strategic plans, and operating efficiency? How would analysts react to its earnings reports? Although some 45%1 of American households own shares in publicly traded companies and receive related quarterly financial statements, not many “stakeholders” look closely at Washington’s financials. Nearly two-thirds of all American households? pay federal income taxes, but very few take the time to dig into the numbers of the entity that, on average, collects 13%? of all Americans’ annual gross income (not counting another 15-30% for payroll and various state and local taxes). We drill down on USA Inc.’s past, present, and (in some cases) future financial dynamics and focus on the country’s income statement and balance sheet and related trends. We isolate and review key expense and revenue drivers. On the expense side, we examine the major entitlement programs (Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security) as well as defense and other major discretionary programs. On the revenue side, we focus on GDP growth (driven by labor productivity and employment in the long run) and tax policies. We present basic numbers-driven scenarios for addressing USA Inc.'s financial challenges. In addition, we lay out the type of basic checklists that corporate turnaround experts might use as starting points when looking at some of USA Inc.’s business model challenges.

Why We Wrote This Report As American citizens / tax payers, we care about the future of our country. As investors, we search for data and insights to help us make better investment decisions. (It’s easier to predict the future with a keen understanding of the past.) We found ourselves searching for better information about the state of America’s financials, and we decided to assemble — in one place and in a user-friendly format — some of the best data about the world’s biggest “business.” In addition, we have attempted to provide some historical context for how USA Inc.’s financial model has evolved over decades. The complexity of USA Inc.’s challenges is well Known, and our presentation is just a starting point; it’s far from perfect or complete. But we are convinced that citizens — and investors — should understand the business of their government. Thomas Jefferson and Alexis de Tocqueville knew that — armed with the right information — the enlightened citizenry of America would make the right decisions. It is our humble hope that a transparent financial framework can help inform future debates. KP i USA Inc. | Introduction 9 What You'll Find Here... In the conviction that every citizen should understand the finances of USA Inc. and the plans of its “management team,” we examine USA Inc.’s income statement and balance sheet and present them in a basic, easy-to- use format. In this document, a broad group of people helped us drill into our federal government's basic financial metrics. We summarize our thoughts in PowerPoint form here and also have provided a brief text summary at www.kpcb.com/usainc. We encourage people to take our data and thoughts and study them, critique them, augment them, share them, and make them better. There’s a lot of material — think of it as a book that happens to be a slide presentation. KP a USA Inc. | Introduction 10 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020846
...And What You Won't We do not make policy recommendations. We try to help clarify some of the issues in a simple, analytically-based way. We aim to present data, trends, and facts about USA Inc.’s key revenue and expense drivers to provide context for how its financials have reached their present state. We did not base this analysis on proprietary data. Our observations come from publicly available information, and we use the tools of basic financial analysis to interpret it. Forecasts generally come from 3rd-party agencies like the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). For US policy makers, the timing of material changes will be especially difficult, given the current economic environment. No doubt, there will be compliments and criticism of things in the presentation (or missing from it). We hope that this report helps advance the discussion and we welcome others to opine with views (backed up by data). KP i USA Inc. | Introduction 11 We Focus on Federal, Not State & Local Government Data e Federal / State & Local Governments Share Different Responsibilities — Federal government is financially responsible for all or the majority of Defense, Social Security, Medicare and Interest Payments on federal debt and coordinates / shares funding for public investment in education / infrastructure. — State & local governments are financially responsible for all or the majority of Education, Transportation (Road Construction & Maintenance), Public Safety (Police / Fire Protection / Law Courts / Prisons) and Environment & Housing (Parks & Recreation / Community Development / Sewerage & Waste Management). — Federal / state & local governments share financial responsibility in Medicaid and Unemployment Insurance. e We Focus on the Federal Government — State and local governments face many similar long-term financial challenges and may ultimately require federal assistance. To be sure, the size of state & local government budget deficits ($70 billion’ in aggregate in F2009) and debt-to-GDP ratio (7%? on average in F2008) pales by comparison to the federal government's ($1.3 trillion budget deficit, 62% debt-to-GDP ratio in F2010). But these metrics may understate state & local governments’ financial challenges by 50% or more@ because they exclude the long-term cost of public pension and other post employment benefit (OPEB) liabilities. Note: 1) Per National Conference of State Legislatures, State fiscal years ends in June. $70B aggregate excludes deficits from Puerto Rico ($3B deficits in F2009). 2) Debt-to-GDP ratio per Census Bureau State & Local Government Finance; 3) Calculation based on the claim that $1T of collective short fall in State & local government pension and OPEB funding KP would be $2.5T using corporate accounting rules, per Orin S. Kramer, “How to Cheat a Retirement Fund,” 9/10. (@E) www.kpcb.com USA Inc. | Introduction 12 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020847
Summary KP i USA Inc. | Introduction 13 Highlights from F2010 USA Inc. Financials e Summary — USA Inc. has challenges. e Cash Flow — While recession depressed F2008-F2010 results, cash flow has been negative for 9 consecutive years ($4.8 trillion, cumulative), with no end to losses in sight. Negative cash flow implies that USA Inc. can't afford the services it is providing to 'customers,’ many of whom are people with few alternatives. e Balance Sheet — Net worth is negative and deteriorating. e Off-Balance Sheet Liabilities — Off-balance sheet liabilities of at least $31 trillion (primarily unfunded Medicare and Social Security obligations) amount to nearly $3 for every $1 of debt on the books. Just as unfunded corporate pensions and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) weigh on public corporations, unfunded entitlements, over time, may increase USA Inc.’s cost of capital. And today’s off-balance sheet liabilities will be tomorrow’s on-balance sheet debt. e Conclusion — Publicly traded companies with similar financial trends would be pressed by shareholders to pursue a turnaround. The good news: USA Inc.’s underlying asset base and entrepreneurial culture are strong. The financial trends can shift toward a positive direction, but both ‘management’ and ‘shareholders’ will need collective focus, willpower, commitment, and sacrifice. Note: USA federal fiscal year ends in September, Cash flow = total revenue — total spending on a cash basis; net worth includes unfunded future liabilities from Social Security and Medicare on an accrual basis over the next 75 years. Source: cash flow per White House Office of Management and Budget; net worth per Dept. of Treasury, “2010 Financial Report of the U.S. KP Government,” adjusted to include unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare.

Drilldown on USA Inc. Financials... e To analysts looking at USA Inc. as a public corporation, the financials are challenged - Excluding Medicare / Medicaid spending and one-time charges, USA Inc. has supported a 4% average net margin’ over 15 years, but cash flow is deep in the red by negative $1.3 trillion last year (or -$11,000 per household), and net worth2 is negative $44 trillion (or -$371,000 per household). e The main culprits: entitlement programs, mounting debt, and one-time charges — Since the Great Depression, USA Inc. has steadily added “business lines” and, with the best of intentions, created various entitlement programs. Some of these serve the nation’s poorest, whose struggles have been made worse by the financial crisis. Apart from Social Security and unemployment insurance, however, funding for these programs has been woefully inadequate — and getting worse. - Entitlement expenses (adjusted for inflation) rose 70% over the last 15 years, and USA Inc. entitlement spending now equals $16,600 per household per year; annual spending exceeds dedicated funding by more than $71 trillion (and rising). Net debt levels are approaching warning levels, and one-time charges only compound the problem. - Some consider defense spending a major cause of USA Inc.'s financial dilemma. Re-setting priorities and streamlining could yield savings — $788 billion by 2018, according to one recent study*@ — perhaps without damaging security. But entitlement spending has a bigger impact on USA Inc. financials. Although defense nearly doubled in the last decade, to 5% of GDP, it is still below its 7% share of GDP from 1948 to 2000. It accounted for 20% of the budget in 2010, but 41% of all government spending between 1789 and 1930. Note: 1) Net margin defined as net income divided by total revenue; 2) net worth defined as assets (ex. stewardship assets like national parks and heritage assets like the Washington Monument) minus liabilities minus the net present value of unfunded entitlements (such as Social Security and Medicare), data per Treasury Dept.'s “2010 Annual Report on the U.S. Government’, 3) Gordon Adams and Matthew Leatherman, “A Leaner and Meaner National Defense,” Foreign Affairs, Jan/Feb 2011) www.kpcb.com USA Inc. | Introduction 15 ...Drilldown on USA Inc. Financials... e Medicare and Medicaid, largely underfunded (based on ‘dedicated’ revenue) and growing rapidly, accounted for 21% (or $724B) of USA Inc.’s total expenses in F2010, up from 5% forty years ago - Together, these two programs represent 35% of all (annual) US healthcare spending; Federal Medicaid spending has doubled in real terms over the last decade, to $273 billion annually. e Total government healthcare spending consumes 8.2% of GDP compared with just 1.3% fifty years ago; the new health reform law could increase USA Inc.’s budget deficit - As government healthcare spending expands, USA Inc.’s red ink will get much worse if healthcare costs continue growing 2 percentage points faster than per capita income (as they have for 40 years). e Unemployment Insurance and Social Security are adequately funded...for now. The future, not so bright - Demographic trends have exacerbated the funding problems for Medicare and Social Security — of the 102 million increased enrollment between 1965 and 2009, 42 million (or 41%) is due to an aging population. With a 26% longer life expectancy but a 3% increase in retirement age (since Social Security was created in 1935), deficits from Social Security could add $11.6 trillion (or 140%) to the public debt by 2037E, per Congressional Budget Office (CBO). KP a USA Inc. | Introduction 16 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020849
...Drilldown on USA Inc. Financials e If entitlement programs are not reformed, USA Inc.’s balance sheet will go from bad to worse - Public debt has doubled over the last 30 years, to 62% of GDP. This ratio is expected to surpass the 90% threshold* — above which real GDP growth could slow considerably — in 10 years and could near 150% of GDP in 20 years if entitlement expenses continue to soar, per CBO. - As government healthcare spending expands, USA Inc.’s red ink will get much worse if healthcare costs continue growing 2 percentage points faster than per capita income (as they have for 40 years). e The turning point: Within 15 years (by 2025), entitlements plus net interest expenses will absorb all — yes, all — of USA Inc.’s annual revenue, per CBO - That would require USA Inc. to borrow funds for defense, education, infrastructure, and R&D spending, which today account for 32% of USA Inc. spending (excluding one-time items), down dramatically from 69% forty years ago. - It's notable that CBO’s projection from 10 years ago (in 1999) showed Federal revenue sufficient to support entitlement spending + interest payments until ZOG0E — 35 years later than current projection. Note: *Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff observed from 3,700 historical annual data points from 44 countries that the relationship between government debt and real GDP growth is weak for debt/GDP ratios below a threshold of 90 percent of GDP. Above 90 percent, median growth rates fall by one percent, and average growth falls considerably more. We note that while Reinhart and Rogoff’s observations are based on ‘gross debt’ data, in the U.S., debt held by the public is closer to the European KP countries’ definition of government gross debt. For more information, see Reinhart and Rogoff, “Growth in a Time of Debt,” 1/10. (@)E) www.kpcb.com USA Inc. | Introduction 17 How Might One Think About Turning Around USA Inc.?... e Key focus areas would likely be reducing USA Inc.’s budget deficit and improving / restructuring the ‘business model’... — One would likely drill down on USA Inc.’s key revenue and expense drivers, then develop a basic analytical framework for ‘normal’ revenue / expenses, then compare options. Looking at history... — Annual growth in revenue of 3% has been roughly in line with GDP for 40 years* while corporate income taxes grew at 2%. Social insurance taxes (for Social Security / Medicare) grew 5% annually and now represent 37% of USA Inc. revenue, compared with 19% in 1965. — Annual growth in expenses of 3% has been roughly in line with revenue, but entitlements are up 5% per annum - and now absorb 51% of all USA Inc.’s expense - more than twice their share in 1965; defense and other discretionary spending growth has been just 1-2%. One might ask... — Should expense and revenue levels be re-thought and re-set so USA Inc. operates near break-even and expense growth (with needed puts and takes) matches GDP growth, thus adopting a ‘don’t spend more than you earn’ approach to managing USA Inc.'s financials? Note: *We chose a 40-year period from 1965 to 2005 to examine ‘normal’ levels of revenue and expenses. We did not choose the most recent 40-year period (1969 to 2009) as USA was in deep recession in 2008 / 2009 and underwent significant tax policy fluctuations in 1968 /1969, so KP many metrics (like individual income and corporate profit) varied significantly from ‘normal’ levels. (@E) www.kpcb.com USA Inc. | Introduction 18 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020850
... How Might One Think About Turning Around USA Inc.? One might consider... e Options for reducing expenses by focusing on entitlement reform and operating efficiency — Formula changes could help Social Security's underfunding, but look too draconian for Medicare/Medicaid; the underlying healthcare cost dilemma requires business process restructuring and realigned incentives. - Resuming the 20-year trend line for lower Federal civilian employment, plus more flexible compensation systems and selective local outsourcing, could help streamline USA Inc.’s operations. e Options for increasing revenue by focusing on driving long-term GDP growth and changing tax policies - USA Inc. should examine ways to invest in growth that provides a high return (ROI) via new investment in technology, education, and infrastructure and could stimulate productivity gains and employment growth. — Reducing tax subsidies (like exemptions on mortgage interest payments or healthcare benefits) and changing the tax system in other ways could increase USA Inc.’s revenue without raising income taxes to punitive — and self-defeating — levels. Such tax policy changes could help re-balance USA’s economy between consumption and savings and re-orient business lines towards investment-led growth, though there are potential risks and drawbacks. e History suggests the long-term consequences of inaction could be severe - USA Inc. has many assets, but it must start addressing its spending/debt challenges now. KP i USA Inc. | Introduction 19 Sizing Costs Related to USA Inc.’s Key Financial Challenges & Potential AND / OR Solutions e To create frameworks for discussion, the next slide summarizes USA Inc.’s various financial challenges and the projected future cost of each main expense driver. — The estimated future cost is calculated as the net present value of expected ‘dedicated’ future income (such as payroll taxes) minus expected future expenses (such as benefits paid) over the next 75 years. e Then we ask the question: ‘What can we do to solve these financial challenges?’ — The potential solutions include a range of simple mathematical illustrations (such as changing program characteristics or increasing tax rates) and/or program-specific policy solutions proposed or considered by lawmakers and agencies like the CBO (such as indexing Social Security initial benefits to growth in cost of living). e These mathematical illustrations are only a mechanical answer to key financial challenges and not realistic solutions. In reality, a combination of detailed policy changes will likely be required to bridge the future funding gap. KP a USA Inc. | Introduction 20 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020851

A Word of Warning About Comparing Corporate & Government Accounting... e Government accounting standards do not report the present value of future entitlement payments (such as Social Security or Medicare) as liabilities. Instead, entitlement payments are recognized only when they are paid. Our analysis takes a different view: governments create liabilities when they enact entitlements and do not provide for revenues adequate to fund them. e We measure the entitlement liability as the present value of estimated entitlement payments in excess of expected revenues for citizens of working age based on Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds’ actuarial analysis. e Government accounting standards also do not recognize the value of internally- generated intangible assets (such as the sovereign power to tax). We do not recognize those assets either, as we have no basis to measure them. But the US government has substantial intangible assets that should provide future economic benefits. Note: For more discussion on alternatives to corporate and official government accounting methods, see Laurence J. Kotlikoff, Alan J. Auerbach, and Jagadeesh okhale, “Generational Accounting: A Meaningful Way to Assess Generational Policy,” published on 12/94 in The Journal of Economic Perspectives. KP Source: Greg Jonas, Morgan Stanley Research. i USA Inc. | High Level Thoughts 31 ...and About Government Budgeting e Federal government budgeting follows arcane practices that are very different from corporate budgeting — and can neglect solutions to structural problems in favor of short-term expediency. e Federal government does not distinguish capital budget (for long-term investment) from operating budget (for day-to-day operations). As a result, when funding is limited, government may choose to reduce investments for the future to preserve resources for day-to-day operations. e Budget “scoring” rules give Congress incentives to hide the true costs...and help Congressional committees defend their turf.” Note: *For more detail, refer to slide 116 on congressional budget scoring rules related to recent Healthcare reform. a USA Inc. | High Level Thoughts 32 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020857

CBO compiled this data from Dept. of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), which maintains the national income and product accounts (NIPA). An important difference between the official budget deficit and the NIPA measure of net federal government saving is that the latter excludes such purely financial transactions as the sale of government assets, and most transactions under the Troubled Asset Relief Program, because those transactions do not help to measure current production and income. In addition, historical NIPA data are subject to significant revision; historical budget data, by contrast, are rarely revised significantly.

How Did USA Inc.'s Financial Reality Get to this Difficult Point? USA Inc. Has Not Adequately Funded Its Entitlement Programs Recessions come and go (and affect USA’s revenue), but future claims (related to entitlement program commitments) on USA Inc. now meaningfully exceed its projected cash flows. For the last 40 years, management (the government) has committed more long-term benefits through ‘entitlement’ programs like Medicaid / Medicare / Social Security...without developing a sound plan to pay for them. Many of these programs provide important services to low-income, unemployed, and disabled Americans in great need for help. But without proper financing, support may dwindle.

Conclusions: 100-Year Review of USA Inc. Income Statement * America’s government has grown dramatically - USA Inc.’s revenue as percent of GDP has risen from 2% to 15%. Individual / social insurance (Social Security + Medicare) taxes have risen dramatically while customs / excise / estate taxes have declined in relative importance. In addition, USA Inc.’s spending as percent of GDP has risen to 24% in 2010, up from 3% average between 1790 and 1930. ¢ USA Inc.’s average operating income was at or near breakeven for most of the periods from 1910 to 1970. In the 1970s, as healthcare expenses (related to Medicare and Medicaid) began to surge, USA Inc. reported more frequent — and bigger — losses. Since 1970, USA Inc. showed a profit just 4 times (F1998-F2001, when economic growth was especially robust and defense spending was relatively low). ¢ General expense trends since 1970: non-defense discretionary spending has been flattish (except in recessions with material one-time charges), healthcare spending (largely Medicare + Medicaid) has risen materially, Social Security spending has been flattish, defense spending has been down to flattish, and interest payments varied with interest rates. KP i USA Inc. | Income Statement Drilldown 61 Operations of USA Inc. Are Solid, Excluding Medicare / Medicaid and One-Time Charges Revenues of USA Inc. (largely from individual and corporate income and payroll taxes) can fund most expenses (largely spending on defense, Social Security, unemployment insurance, education, law enforcement, transportation, energy, infrastructure, federal employee & veteran benefits, and interest payments). In fact, for USA Inc.'s operations besides Medicare / Medicaid and one-time expenses, there’s ample scope to increase spending for defense, education, law enforcement, transportation, infrastructure and energy by ~4%* in aggregate and still remain break-even. Note: *Excluding Medicare / Medicaid revenue & expenses, USA Inc.’s expenses are, on average, 4% below revenue levels P from F1996 to F2010 based on our calculation of White House OMB data.

Defense Spending Is The Second-Largest Expense Item After Entitlements, But Below Long-Term Trend as Share of GDP ¢ With budget deficits rising, some advocate cutting back on defense spending, the second-largest expense item after entitlements. ¢ Defense spending has risen substantially in recent years, due to the wars in Afghanistan and Irag, and other costs related to the Global War on Terror. As a percentage of GDP, however, defense spending in the U.S. remains below its 60- year trend. ¢ On an inflation-adjusted basis, U.S. defense spending is at its highest level since World War Il. With overhead ~40% of all spending, the Defense Business Board found DoD consistently pays “more for less” and fails to attack overhead as the private sector would.1 ¢ The Esquire Commission to Balance the Federal Budget, a group of four former Republican and Democratic senators, found over $300 billion? in defense restructuring opportunities, and other analysts proposed gradual cuts to reduce the defense budget by 14% by 2018. 2 Notes: 1) The Defense Business Board , “Reducing Overhead and Improving Business Operations, “July 2010, http://dbb.defense. gov; 2) see Esquire Commission to Balance the Federal Budget, http:/Avww.esquire. com/blogs/politics/federal-budget-statistics-1 110.; 3) Gordon Adams and Matthew K P Leatherman, “A Leaner and Meaner National Defense,” Foreign Affairs, Jan/Feb 2011) (@)E) www.kpcb.com USA Inc. | Income Statement Drilldown 63 Defense Spending Has Risen, Driven by Wars in Afghanistan + Iraq...

Entitlement Spending: Lacks Sufficient Dedicated Funding Entitlement programs were created with the best of intentions by the Government. They serve many of the nation’s poorest, whose struggles have been made worse by the financial crisis. However, with the exception of Social Security (which was developed with a pay-as-you-go funding plan and constructed to be legally flexible if conditions change) and unemployment insurance (which was designed to be flexible at State level), other entitlement plans (including Medicaid and Medicare) were developed without sufficient dedicated funding.

These surpluses were invested in a special (non-marketable) series of U.S. Treasury securities, which were then used to finance budget deficits in other parts of USA Inc. like Medicaid & Nutrition Assistance. e As aresult, many observers have argued that Social Security and Medicare Part A Trust Funds’ balances are no more than accounting gains on paper owing to: 1) no ‘real’ assets (such as tradable stocks / real estates...) in these Trust Funds as the special U.S. Treasury securities are non-marketable and 2) the Treasury Department needs to raise taxes / cut other programs’ spending / borrow more money in the future to meet any withdrawal requests. e We think that for Social Security and Medicare Part A programs, their Trust Funds’ balances have legal value as USA Inc. is legally obliged to repay the principal and interest on the Treasury securities held in respective Trust Funds. e However, we think that these Trust Fund balances have NO economic value as these cumulative surpluses have been spent by USA Inc. to reduce the borrowing need in the past. When Social Security & Medicare begin net withdrawal from their Trust Funds (likely in 2017E), USA Inc.’s debt levels + interest payments growth could accelerate, owing to the double whammy of: 1) loss of revenue source (previous surpluses) and 2) additional Treasury redemption costs related to Trust Funds’ withdrawal requests. e Consequently, we exclude Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds’ balances and interest income from our financial models and calculate their liabilities on a net basis.

Entitlement Spending: Non-Partisan CBO Advises Excluding Social Security / Medicare Trust Funds’ Balances + Interest Income in Fiscal Analysis Trust funds can be useful mechanisms for monitoring the balance between earmarked receipts and a program's spending, but they are basically an accounting device, and their balances, even if "invested" in Treasury securities, provide no resources to the government for meeting future funding commitments. When those payments come due, the government must finance them in the same way that it finances other commitments -- through taxes or borrowing from the public. Thus, assessing the state of the federal government's future finances requires measuring such commitments independently of their trust fund status or the balance recorded in the funds. -- Congressional Budget Office (CBO) “Measures of the U.S. Government’s Fiscal Position Under Current Law,” 8/04 KP i USA Inc. | Income Statement Drilldown 77 Entitlement Spending: Funding Patterns of Some Entitlement Programs Work Better than Others Have Worked Relatively Well Financially: Social Security — Has operated at close to break-even - so far - thanks to sufficient payroll tax income from a relatively large working-age population. In fact, Social Security has worked so well, that its surplus net income has been used to finance other government activities such as Medicaid. Unemployment Insurance — Has operated at close to break-even thanks to accumulated net incomes during ‘good years’ (though expenses spiked to $123 billion / $160 billion in 2009 / 2010 from $45 billion in 2008 owing to recession). Have Worked Relatively Poorly Financially: Medicaid — Has operated at an average annual loss of $160 billion with, in effect, an average net margin of -100% over past 15 years; the annual dollar loss has risen from $108 billion to $273 billion because of rising healthcare costs and expanded enrollment. Medicare — Has operated at an average annual loss of $123 billion with, in effect, an average net margin of -83% over past 15 years; the margin has fallen from -66% to -154% (or -$64 billion in annual loss to -$272 billion) because of rising healthcare costs + expanding coverage (added Part D prescription drug benefits through legislation in 2003, rolled out in 2006).

Entitlement Spending: Observations from Previous Slide e Entitlement revenue was $0.87 trillion, yet entitlement spending was $1.98 trillion in F2010. e Entitlement spending exceeded entitlement revenue by 129% in F2010. e Social Security (ex. Trust Fund interest income) accounted for 73% of dedicated entitlement revenue yet only 36% of entitlement spending in F2010 while Medicare accounted for 21% of revenue and 23% of spending and Medicaid accounted for 0% of revenue and 14% of spending. KP i USA Inc. | Income Statement Drilldown 81 Entitlement Spending: Clarification On ‘Unfunded’ / ‘Net Responsibilities’... There is debate about the semantics of using words like unfunded / net responsibilities to describe the financial status of entitlement programs like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. ‘Unfunded’ — We define ‘unfunded’ liabilities for Social Security and Medicare as the present value of future expenditures in excess of dedicated future revenue. We call Social Security and Medicare ‘partially unfunded’ entitlement programs as their future expenditures are projected to exceed dedicated future revenue. e ‘Net Responsibilities’ — USA Inc. does not record these ‘unfunded’ financial commitments as explicit liabilities on balance sheet, owing to Federal accounting standards." — USA Inc.’s Dept. of Treasury calls these commitments ‘net responsibilities’ or ‘net expenditures’ in its annual Financial Report of the U.S. Government. e Medicaid — We view Medicaid as an ‘unfunded’ liability as there is no dedicated revenue source to match expected expenses in our financial analysis. Medicaid is jointly funded on a pay-as-you go basis by Federal and State general tax revenue.

...Entitlement Spending: Clarification On ‘Unfunded’ / ‘Net Responsibilities’ e 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. e 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.

Medicaid: Facing Accelerating Cash Flow Deficits e Social Welfare Program — Created in 1965 to provide health insurance to low-income population (2% of Americans under coverage then and 16% now’). e No Dedicated Funding — Federal funding comes from general revenue (all forms of tax receipts). e Ever-Growing Expenses — $273 billion in F2010, up 2x from 10 years ago. e Rising Healthcare Costs — Owing to aging population + unhealthy life styles + technology advances. e Growing Beneficiary + Benefits — Covered beneficiaries expanded beyond low- income group in 1980s to include additional groups (like individuals who have high medical expenses and have spent down their assets, and some of those who lost their employer-sponsored healthcare insurance coverage in recession), while covered benefits expanded to include prescription drugs / dental services. Total expenditures on these new groups and benefits represented ~60% of Medicaid program’s spending in 2001, per Kaiser Family Foundation estimates. See slide 319-322 for more details. e Moral Hazard — As a “free good,” Medicaid reduced demand for private long-term insurance’ while regulation loopholes + need-based benefit policies created incentives to abuse the Medicaid reimbursement system.

Medicaid: While We Focus on Federal Government Dynamics, It’s Notable that State Government Medicaid Funding Also Faces Significant Challenges e Medicaid = Major and Growing Expense Line Item for State Governments - Medicaid funding responsibility is shared between federal & state governments. States with higher per-capita income (like New York) pay ~50% of total Medicaid cost while states with lower per-capita income (like Mississippi) pay ~22%. - Onaverage, Medicaid accounted for 21% of total state spending in F2009 (ranging from Missouri at 35% to Alaska at 8%). Enrollment growth has been accelerating, in part, owing to more people losing employer-sponsored health insurance in the recession, and thus overall Medicaid costs jumped ~11% Y/Y from October, 2009 to June, 2010. - State governments (which unlike the federal government must balance their annual budgets) cannot pay for such elevated levels of Medicaid and maintain normal spending levels for other services (like education and public safety). e Enter the Federal Government - ARRA (2009 economic stimulus) provided ~$100 billion in support for the states to pay for elevated levels of Medicaid costs and to avoid large budget cuts in education and public safety. This went a long way toward holding down the states’ contribution, but it is a one-time unsustainable fix. e Federal Support May Be Expiring by June, 2011 - Ifno action is taken, the Medicaid-related cost burden on the states will rise dramatically in coming years. As aresult, many states are on the verge of implementing Medicaid cost containment plans that include cuts in doctor payments, benefit limitations, higher patient co-payments, etc. Moreover, many states are fearful that the recently enacted healthcare reform will lead to additional Medicaid- related costs when it goes into full effect in 2014.

Think About That... e Total government spending on healthcare (including Medicare, Medicaid and other programs) has risen 7x from 1.2% of GDP in 1960 to 8.2% in 2009 while total government spending on education has risen only 0.6x from 4% of GDP in 1960 to 6% in 2009. e Medicare and Medicaid, which did not exist in 1960, rose to 35% of total healthcare spending in 2009, while out-of-pocket spending declined to 12% of total healthcare spending in 2009 (or $894 per person per year*), down from 47% in 1960 (or $478 per person’). e Lifetime healthcare costs for the average American are $631,000, of which the government pays for an estimated 48% while private insurers (like UnitedHealth and Blue Cross Blue Shield) pay 32% and consumers pay just 12%. e When citizens don’t need to pay directly for something (like healthcare) and are given an expensive good / service for free (or well below cost), they tend to consume more of it — it’s basic supply and demand economics. e This approach faces increasing challenges as USA, Inc. has gone deeper and deeper in debt to pay for it...

Such potential effect is not captured in CBO scoring. - Investments in information technology and new provider & consumer incentives can drive better and more efficient care.

PPACA — There Is Potential for ‘Unintended’ Consequences e The new law changes some system incentives, which may lead to new behavior patterns, many of which are complex and hard to predict. — The market may adapt to new MLR (Medical Loss Ratio) rules that incentivize and reward a very specific (but ultimately arbitrary) cost structure. — The cost/benefit analysis for employers and consumers may change, and some may opt to re-evaluate their current employer-sponsored coverage offerings. e Health plans that are no longer economically viable may exit markets, potentially adding to the uninsured problem prior to 2014. e Likely acceleration in consolidation of payers as well as providers.

In other words, had the original estimate been accurate, the cumulative 43-year cost since Medicare was created would have been $129 billion, adjusted for inflation. - Infact, the actual cumulative spending has been $1.4 trillion** (adjusted for inflation)...in effect, 10x over budget. * While calculations have been flawed from the beginning for some of USA Inc.’s entitlement programs, little has been done to correct the problems.

Our analyses suggest that extended UI benefits account for about 0.4 percentage point of the nearly 6 percentage point increase in the national unemployment rate over the past few years. It is not surprising that the disincentive effects of UI would loom small in the midst of the most severe labor market downturn since the Great Depression. Despite the relatively minor influence of extended UI, it is important to note that the 0.4 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate represents about 600,000 potential workers who could become virtually unemployable if their reliance on UI benefits were to continue indefinitely.

That’s a Math Problem... e If an expense rises by 26% and the ability to pay rises by only 3%, the math doesn’t work. A computer in a science fiction movie might blurt out, ‘does not compute...does not compute...’ e “Something’s Gotta Give...’ as the 2003 film put it. e A mathematician or economist would say, ‘the expense must go down or the ability to pay must rise to match the expense.’ e Simple math implies that the age for collecting full benefits should rise from 67 to 72, so that expenses more closely match workers’ ability to pay. Under this scenario, while Americans are living 30% longer, the ‘retirement’ age would rise just 7%, still well below the increase in life expectancy since Social Security was created.

Heretofore, Social Security and Unemployment Insurance have been effectively funded, but two significant entitlement programs (Medicaid and Medicare) were created without effective funding plans / programs. Only one of these (Medicaid) is means-tested (indicating that one is eligible for Medicaid only if he / she does not sufficient financial means). Left unchanged, Unemployment Insurance funding should improve as economic growth resumes, but Social Security will no longer be self-funded within 5-10 years, and the underfunding of Medicaid and Medicare will simply go from bad to worse.
