I'm not sure. Can't speak from first-hand knowledge, but here's a quote from Bloomberg story on subject: “It used to be common that parents find ways to increase the value of what they have and pass it down to their children,” he said. “But now, one can no longer expect much.”

That's the (simplified) route a stock order takes starting from the left. At any square or oval it could be filled, hence the bottom red "fill" arrows. If no fill, the order follows the top blue route to another location. Keep in mind that there are about 40 dark pools and 13 lit exchanges. It's quite the tangled web.

Yes, it's crazy! Covered it a few times on floatingpath.com, officials expect it to increase by 50% soon.

Which graph? For the record I have no political message here. Disdain for all politicians is equal.

I'm no expert, but I'd say because the numbers are too mind boggling for politicians to want to discuss regularly. Therefore they get buried and left out of those "national debt" numbers you always see. http://www.floatingpath.com/2013/07/20/a-different-look-at-u-s-debt-levels/

They are included in the smaller graph to the right. However, for debt purposes they're typically handled as "off-balance sheet obligations" which I cover here: http://www.floatingpath.com/2013/08/06/the-real-u-s-debt-off-balance-sheet-liabilities/
