BT, the discussion was a hypothetical. If the debt is reduced to $0, then what happens to social securitty surpluses? By law they have to be invested in federal government securites. One thought was that the government would have to spend the money, my response was it might just effetively reduce the money supply (with an increase to come in the future).
