Well, on that we agree. I've called for putting all of our Entitlement liabilities on the books in the past, but no one wants to acknowledge the true cost of our unfunded Entitlement liabilities. However, one correction to your statement. That nitwit actually decreased the future unfunded Entitlement liabilities, because this health bill lowers costs by $140B over the next decade and $1 trillion in the decade thereafter. Also, while you are at it, you should call Bush Jr and the GOP nitwits too for adding to the unfunded liabilities with his $500B per decade unfunded prescription drug plan. But that still doesn't wipe out the fact that we have $50-60 trillion in unfunded entitlement liabilities that go unacknowledged by our government.
