Honestly, Im pretty sure that for example all the Canadian Government payment stuff(so handing EI, pensions, and every other program that makes a payment to the public or other government entity) is written in COBOL and on top of that there are endless reporting tools and such written COBOL to report on such payments. I can't imagine that the canadian government is the only one to have done this.
I mean 220 Billion is a lot, but I can't imagine that the real number is that far off.
