This kind of reminds of me of the "mark to market" kind of thinking that worked so well for Enron, back in the day:
Its allies claim that CBO forecasts, for instance, don't reflect potential future cost savings that might be expected from the prevention of illness achieved from wider health care coverage.
My current financial situation doesn't reflect the potential that I might trip on a bag full of cash on my way to my car after work, either. If I factor that possibility into the mix, then everything looks like roses and unicorn farts.
