Thanks especially for the piece on the overall federal fiscal burden estimate of 142 trillion. As you said, the future unfunded obligations are rarely mentioned.
There is another obligation that probably isn't even included - the subsidies for wind and solar, etc, that are legislated to go on and on until net zero is reached - with no built in stop in case net zero is not reached by 2050.
Speaking of wind and solar, it's interesting that their output is proven to be unreliable by "Natural gas-fired power generation in the US has surged this week due to the lowest wind power output in 33 months", ironically, in the same article where you posted "utility-scale solar and wind power generation in the U.S. surpassed nuclear power for the first time in the first half of 2024".
