It is a huge, $10 Trillion problem. You said 10 Trillion. I don't know if that is right or wrong, but it is a lot of money and it gets worse.

It is $10T according to the trustees, but only when computed as an infinite timeline liability. It is 3.6T if computed on a 75 year timeline liability. What is that? 48B a year for 75 years?

Shit...we waste more than that in iraq. The estimate for the "unfunded" liability in the busted equipment alone when we come back from iraq is more than ten times that. All in a year or two. And we derive nothing but grief from that mis-adventure.
