    This is about the DEBT LIMIT.

    Please research before posting a false summary... The budget surplus is just that a surplus in the budget which has an alloted amount to pay the national debt... which in 2000
    was 5.6 Trillion

  • keng, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3how about you read the above links.
  • ThugEsquire, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Digg can and should evolve. Don't treat Digg the way the RIAA treats digital music.
  • jimphelps, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Right on!
  • puffarthur, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2We had to increase government spending anyway to keep GDP growing. Otherwise, the 2001 stock market fiasco, the 9/11 panic, rising oil prices because of CHINA, and Katrina would have forced us into a bad recession.

    Also, don't forget unemployment is at an all time low and tax revenues are UP thanks to the tax cuts (economists remember the Laffer Curve?)
  • keng, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Help keep Digg pure.
    Digg is for tech news.

    Maybe try http://del.icio.us for this type of thing.
