Hi Ray,
Sorry to butt in here, but the U.S. Government never ran surpluses in the 1990's, only if you count Social Security taxes, which I don't, nor would any accountant. What company or business counts employee contributions to a retirement plan as revenues? None, only the U.S. Government, and they should all be thrown in jail for doing so, IMHO. We also know what's going to happen to Social Security anyway, so ever more money down the drain.
Oh, and we also know that the Federal employees, including our elected 'Public Servants', never have to pay into Social Security, and get their own sweetheart deal, so what do they care if it fails?
I agree that our debt burden hurts our country, but do you think the people at D.C. State University care? Doubtful, too busy living like college kids again to worry about a nation.
I think I need a drink. <bg>
Cheers,
