I think what is confusing to me is the commentary of BPI's tweet:
They say the US backstops $12 - 15 trillion in off-book debt, but the chart shows on-balance sheet debt being ~$50 trillion while off balance sheet debt is $36 trillion.
According the chart, wouldn't it make sense to say the US backstops $36 trillion of off-book debt?
I think the tweet contents is just wrong, the chart is fine.
