My otherwise useless congressman, Jim Cooper, is really interested in this issue. He forced the government to begin the process of reporting on an accrual basis. I read the results of that in book form for a recent year, and the results of operations of the Pentagon are in fact indecipherable.</p> The accrual problem is fascinating.
