And a hello back to you, Sam.

Interesting stuff. But those commitments and their off-books character are hardly news. I seem to recall that form of accounting started with LBJ, though I could be wrong.

As for the numbers themselves, who the hell knows whether they are accurate. Someone would need to factor in the tax revenue that meets those obligations as well.
