Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Comprehensive tax legislation, enacted through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) on December 22, 2017, significantly modified U.S. corporate income tax law. Provisional amounts have been recorded in our financial statements based on the Company’s initial analysis of the TCJA. The Company may adjust these amounts in future periods if our interpretation of the TCJA changes or as additional guidance from the U.S. Treasury becomes available. The effective income tax rate was 21.6% and 29.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively. The decrease in 2018 was primarily due to the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate as a result of the enactment of the TCJA. At the end of each interim period, we estimate the annual effective tax rate and apply that rate to our ordinary quarterly earnings. The tax expense or benefit related to significant unusual or infrequently occurring items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect, and are individually computed, is recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws or rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. The Company is continuously subject to tax examinations in various jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total amount of federal, state and local, and foreign unrecognized tax benefits was $210 million and $212 million, respectively, exclusive of interest and penalties. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and operating-related expense, respectively. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $56 million and $59 million, respectively, of accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits. Based on the current status of income tax audits, we believe that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits on the balance sheet may be reduced by approximately $90 million in the next twelve months as a result of the resolution of tax examinations.

Comprehensive tax legislation, enacted through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) on December 22, 2017, significantly modified U.S. corporate income tax law. Provisional amounts have been recorded in our financial statements based on the Company’s initial analysis of the TCJA.
