"If the federal government published a balance sheet -- just as it requires public companies to do -- it would be forced to show its entitlement liability. And if it amortized that liability, it would also appear in the annual budget. We would see it, we would talk about it, and we would be more likely to do something about it. But the politicians keep it well hidden instead." - Mitt Romney
