The federal government’s financial woes are far deeper than the rosy figures coming out of Washington, according to fiscal watchdogs at the recent “Citizen-Heroes Conference.” Organized by Truth in Accounting, the event exposed the staggering true scope of America’s financial obligations, calling for immediate reforms to prevent the nation’s debt from spiraling out of control.

Sheila Weinberg, Executive Director of Truth in Accounting, didn’t mince words. While the U.S. government officially reports a national debt of $36 trillion, Weinberg revealed the real number is closer to $158 trillion when factoring in unfunded liabilities like Social Security and Medicare. “Our estimate includes more than $50 trillion in unfunded Social Security benefits and over $66 trillion in unfunded Medicare benefits,” she said. That’s nearly $1 million in debt per taxpayer.

And it gets worse. Former CPA Andy Miller warned that Social Security will be insolvent by 2033, while Medicare will run dry by 2039. “The bottom line is the federal government system accounting is just wholly inadequate,” Miller stated.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) itself paints a bleak picture. According to its latest report, public debt is projected to skyrocket to $52 trillion by 2035. But even that dire forecast doesn’t reflect the full extent of the government’s unfunded promises.

David Walker, former Comptroller General of the United States, stressed the urgent need for better financial planning, transparency, and citizen engagement in federal spending decisions. “Failing to act would have severe adverse consequences for America and most Americans over time,” he warned.

The event wasn’t just a lecture on the grim fiscal reality. It was a call to action. Speakers urged influential figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to champion full accrual accounting—an honest approach that forces the government to account for its true liabilities. Bold leadership, they argued, is essential to restoring credibility to U.S. fiscal policy.

While Democrats remain busy pushing expensive entitlement programs and green energy fantasies, this conference served as a sobering reminder of what their big-government obsession is costing everyday Americans. The numbers don’t lie, but apparently, the politicians in Washington do.

The federal government’s current accounting practices are nothing short of a sham. Taxpayers are being saddled with a financial time bomb that Washington refuses to defuse. It’s time for leadership that prioritizes fiscal responsibility over political gain. If the government can’t even balance its own checkbook, it has no business lecturing Americans about sacrifice. The debt crisis is a ticking time bomb, and ignoring it isn’t just irresponsible—it’s a betrayal of future generations.
