“Because what I think is interesting about that chart is that, while we may not get it in Washington, folks back home in Oklahoma or folks back home in South Carolina or folks back home across this country really understand this chart; and that is, Washington says we are running a surplus.

In the business world, if we actually borrowed against our pension fund reserves to pay for the current operations of the company, we would go to jail based on Federal law.”
