How much debt is there in the unfunded liabilities of the United States?

The following is a visualization of our current national debt, at about $15 trillion.  Notice that for reference and scale the semi truck and Statue of Liberty. You might think no big deal. However, each tiny square in that stack of cash is a pallet of $100 bills, each worth $1 million.

You have to visit the website www.wtfnoway.com to get the full impact of our unfunded liabilities, also known as off balance sheet debt or the sum of the liabilities for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicare Part D (prescription drug prgram) based on current tax and funding inputs and on projections. These unfunded liabilities are over $114 trillion dollars.

The only word is… inconceivable. And unsustainable.
