[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Why should the Federal government have ANY surplus? Is a government a giant corporation, that it's supposed to turn a profit? Governments are not people, they do not need to 'put aside money for a rainy day.' A well-run, efficient government has zero surplus and zero deficit, much like a well-run, efficient household, once spending and savings are taken care of. A government which has a deficit is spending too much. A government which has a surplus is taxing too much. Any excess money should be returned whence it came, that it might be used for more practical purposes by the people who earned it in the FIRST place. The government's money is not their money, it is MY and YOUR money. We earned it, we deserve it back in proportion to how much we gave. Let me make my OWN "Trust Fund." Let me put it in the bank, where I know it is more likely to still be there, with interest, in 35 years. The fruits of my labor should be my own. [/QB][/QUOTE]
