America the Corporation


Below you will find a presentation that provides more detail about the financing of the United States as if it were seen as a business, which obviously it isn't.
The United States of America isn't a business, but what if it were? What would USA Inc. be worth? What would its income statement and balance sheet look like? Mary Meeker, the veteran Morgan Stanley tech analyst who is now a partner at the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, dug into the finances of USA Inc. and produced a 460-slide presentation. The following charts and tables are adapted from it.
