Surpluses are really such until the debt is paid down.

So you would not go for any tax cuts until the debt is paid down (which is perhaps never)?

I would ask both you and Ted (if he shares this opinion) is this a matter of just being fiscally conservative, so you would also oppose new areas of spending (or large expansion of old programs), or is it that you just don't like tax cuts? If it wasn't for the enormous expansion in spending we would not have to worry much about deficits.
