Henry, you and I both know the budget is still not in balance, though it has been slowly approaching that happy state of affairs the past few years. However, the controversy rages, even now, on how to "invest" the bogus-accounting "suplus" on the government's books that is parroted by the popular press. The fact is, the national debt still rises -- we are NOT in balance. I grant that the US national debt MAY hit equilibrium or perhaps even a very slight decrease for the Federal fiscal year ending 9/30/98 (though I doubt it). After that, IMO, the national debt will continue to increase for at least the next several years. This opinion is based, for the most part, on the very high probability of the US falling into a nasty recession starting late this year or early next.
