"So why isn't the falling deficit getting the cheers it is due? ...NO ONE — is taking credit! Instead?"

WTF. I'll take credit, on behalf of all of us who said "Raise taxes back to Clinton's levels". We still have room for more... Clinton's top bracket began at 250K, not 400.

"some savvy Washington insiders are suggesting the U.S. could run a budget surplus within a couple years. Wouldn't that be a welcome surprise! "

No, it would be an unfortunate excuse to cut taxes. Let's talk about the debt, not the deficit.
