Bingo.

Pay it now or later it will have to be paid at some point.

Kicking the can isn't the bad thing people make it out to be. The money is on the cap either way.

And the benefit to pushing it is so it hits in later years when the cap balloons (which is has been). So kicking the can has been the right call. That isn't what has been hurting us.

The dead money has affected us the last two years, but I went over why it isn't a cut and dry bad management situation in that thread.
