Not sure which report it is. Some reports try to do accounting for the accrual of unfunded liabilities, an inherently dodgy exercise. In general in my view these things are done as well as they can be done, given the mandate; the issue is what to make of the results.
-----Original Message----- From: PEN-L list [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Devine Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 9:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Financial Report of the Nation Yesterday, at Borders Books, I saw something with a title like "the Financial Report of the Nation" (an official US government book) that was advertised as a book that the "government doesn't want you to read" because the government deficit is much larger than the government advertises (but was published anyway because that's the law). does anyone know about this book? Max? is it a good source? or is it just hype? -- Jim Devine / "Self-exhaustion in war has killed more states than any foreign assailant." -- BH Liddell Hart.
