A surplus means that we've given the government so much of our money that even they, with their crack-like spending addiction, can't spend it all. Surpluses lead to more discretionary spending. You can bet that if politicians get their hands on money, they'll spend it. Deficits lead to belt-tightening and efficiency. As far as making ends meet, when I have that problem, I cut my spending. When the government has that problem, they take more of your money.RPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297484054700196114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848019524557525597.post-90851984886028623342007-07-16T07:19:00.000-07:002007-07-16T07:19:00.000-07:00We had a surplus back then, not a $200 million deficit...<BR/><BR/>When was the last time you were happy not making ends meet?Listerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11602089718503278788noreply@blogger.com
