Welcome aboard and thanks for you nice words. Now, what do we do about this? Last time I suggested an unusual approach to budget surplus and taxation (giving each tax payer back $1000 under the assumption that the surplus was $160B and number of tax payers was 160 MM), it somehow percolated up and a similar step was taken. I have been harping since before 2000 that budget surpluses in excess of 1% of GDP leads to economic contractions, thus that proposal in 2000. Of courses, budget deficits much in excess of 2% of GDP have severe long term consequences as well (we need it just right" a "goldilock economy")
How do we get to the government and get them to listen to us? My E-mail to Safire on the same subject was left unresponded...
