Mike,

>>Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin said that, with the federal budget in the black, Treasury has paid down a total $320 billion
since March 1997. In the current April-June second quarter alone, Treasury has forecast a record $116-billion paydown of
government debts. <<

Aside from accounting issues about what the "real" federal debt is, do you expect this to have any impact on asset prices or interest rates?
