I think the large inflows of dollars has been a bigger liquidity boon. Last I read it was on the order of $ 400 billion. By timing, I was referring to the usual inflows of tax receipts by end of April for both annual and quarterly payments that tends to lower debt figures every year at this time. As for liquidity and the stock market, there was an article by Jude Wanniski on the 2000 tax crash. Trimtabs also had a blurb about the large tax receipts from insider cap gains. There is a huge cash flow surplus from SS on the order of $ 250-300 billion now. As for not taking depreciation, they do include asset sales as positive revenue.
