"You sir, do not know what you are talking about...there is a nearly 250billion surplus in annual cashflow. " So explain why the public debt increased in the last year. ftp://208.131.225.4/opd/opds112000.pdf Putting IOU's in the socialist security 'trust' fund is not running a 'surplus', it is smoke and mirrors accounting. Yes, there has been a commendable lowering of the growth of the debt. But if the gov't or anyone ends the year owing more than they did at the start of the year, it sure is hard to call that a surplus. Unless of course you're using 'fuzzy math'. Regards, Barb

I'll have to use your math while balancing my checkbook:The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $123 million per day since September 15, 1999 Total debt: Almost 6 trillion 250 billion annual cashflow (I'll put this here for the sake of argument regardless of the hallucination involved) Let's see now, like I say, I'll try this on my checking account... - 5.6 trillion (already in debt) - 60 Billion (by end of of next year) Total - 7.2 Billion Why we take away the 250 Billion dollar hallucination that's spent already anyway... Wow, you're a mathematical genius, I thought we were in trouble till I read your phenominal treatise. We'll see what my banker says about my new balancing methods, thanks dude!
