True. But it's also true that NO ONE can really have much if any 'confidence' in any projections made out beyond the ability to project with any validity... in that the slightest of tweaks in present time can factor really BIG CHANGES in projected bottom lines decades into the future. The SLIGHTEST of changes in GNP growth rates... or the SLIGHTEST of changes in Social Security retirement ages... or in F.I.C.A.'s revenue cap --- for just one example --- can produce extreme differences over the time horizon.
