OTOTOT: there is no federal deficit, there is a surplus. i'd say their house is in good shape considering revenues are exceeding expenditures by a huge amount. if you're talking about the national debt, realize it is at low historical levels as a percent of gdp. the ease with which a little uptick in the economy wiped out the so called huge deficits should give you a clue as to the overstatement of the debt. while everyone agrees no debt is a good thing, a little debt isn't necessarily bad, just ask the majority of people who borrow to buy a house or the majority of companies who borrow to expand. that being said, we can have a tax cut and continue to pay down the debt as it comes due or even pay it off early. good luck, ross
