Re:"NATIONAL DEBT should only be paid down WITH REAL SURPLUSES above and beyond excess social security tax collections ! "

If you like big numbers

On 3-4-99 the Public Debt was:

$5,653,049,331,534.24

On 9-30-98 (FY '98 year end) it was:

$5,526,193,008,897.62

For a 5-month increase in debt of:

$129,856,322,636.62

Looks like there's a ways to go before we get a real surplus.
