br> Re: Brian Bonneau’s letter (“An Extra $3 Billion”) in Reader Mail’s Gentlemen’s Disagreement : /p> p>Mr. Bonneau concedes then denies the point. He (and others) will pay less (or none) now, but will pay more later. This is not a theoretical point. Whatever he earns now, would he be indifferent if his employer withheld his check for a decade or two and then paid him the same amount? Of course not, future dollars are not worth the same as current dollars. He would have to receive more later to compensate for the postponement. Discounted to the present, the future payments of $6 Billion are worth $3 Billion now. br> — David Sisk br> /p>
