Since the treasury has been running surpluses in 1998 there has been a total of $429.8 billion in surpluses. During that same time period the public debt increased from $5.526 trillion to $5.726 trillion. That spends the surplus plus another $200 billion. No political party or president gets any credit for fiscal restraint.

Not much of a surplus, if a $300/taxpayer refund of overcharges burned it up, less of course, the savings from all the social, health, and welfare programs that Bush chopped, leaving people to starve and die in the streets, and plus, of course, the billions appropriated and spent on needless defense... all, of course, in the first 6 months of his administration....NOT!!!! If Bush had had that much impact already, he'd go down in history as getting the most done of any US President in his first 6 months of office. Economies don't move that fast. Only liberal propaganda does. We're still living the Clinton/Gore economic dream, and will for at least the next couple of quarters or so.
