>>While I applaud the decline in the rate of growth of the public debt, it is growing. <<

Oops, Berney, same problem as with GNP growth: look at the numbers in relative sense, ie how much of GNP is needed to serve the debt. In percentage this should be going down.

>>significant off-book liabilities (i.e. social security)<<
which is a case of a state-wide "Moral hazard" [but again, this is US...]: "I'll pay up for it, as long as you dont tell anybody". With GeeWhiz Kid and his christian liberation movement, things probably will not improve - otherwise he'll go and let TX secede -.
