The values presented are todays valuations. It is the BALANCE SHEET OF THE USA. Assets minus liabilities which those anunities are part of..You.want to settle accounts today you have a negative 84T USD net worth.
A contract has a present value..even if it is to be paid out over time. The only way to abrogate that value is to end the contract.
