I think we may both be wrong here. It may be that public debt (and real retirement) is only reduced when the surplus is so large (probably never again) that the public debt is actually reduced for a fiscal year. It could be that the only one that really knows is the software programmer. I just saw that Japan was casually mentioning their desire to dump treasuries a couple of days ago. I suppose at some point the dollar has to get stronger. Perhaps if we convince China to float their currency [after it goes up] we could peg our currency to theirs. jttmab
