On Tuesday of this week, Dick Rucker gave a talk on what are “Unfunded Liabilities” and the impact on future generations. The definition of Unfunded Liabilities is any debt obligations that do not have sufficient funds set aside to pay them. These liabilities refer to the U.S. government’s debt or pensions plans, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, and their impact on savings and investment securities. Rucker stated, “Unfunded liabilities can have a significant negative impact on the general economic health of a nation or corporation.” Rucker spoke on “Debt to Gross National Product,” which is directly related to and should include Unfunded Liabilities but currently does not.
