honestly Volt, I find it inconceivable that the feds will even be capable of finding places to spend this surplus it is way too much to fathom first order is to reduce taxes in 1997-1999 period, we saw massive deflation - in commodities (metals, oil for a while) - in interest rate payments (like mortgage, home equity, margin debt, credit cards to some extent) - in Japanese automobile and electronics consumer products we saw deflation everywhere except in tax load unfortunately, the only time taxpayers demand lower taxes is during recessions tax cuts are 18 months overdue most likely avenue in my mind for surplus is Social Security might be heading south in about 10 days gotta get some surgery and skiing behind me later, Jim
