A surplus means you were over taxed. The Gov't should never run a surlplus...
If the fools in DC do have a surplus, you can bet on them finding things to spend it on. More social projects means more of Big Gov't sticking its face in your business. You think its bad now?! Imagine a few extra billion lying there waiting for the jackals to get their paws on it.
Deficits spending <i>should</i> curb gov't waste and growth. They should get by on all the money they get. When was the last time we had a pure budget cut? All we ever get is restrictions on growth. Raising a project 1% instead of 2% is NOT a cut.
How does having a federal deficit affect you? I'm sure we all have credit card debit. What does it do to you? It makes you, hopefully, budget yourself better.
$15 Billion for Africa. Great liberal cause, and nobody supports the Pres, cause no matter what he does – your going to hate him. Just say it and get it over with.
The problem is, like all cause like this, the money is not going to be use correctly.
