Achimp, the govt is a business. But the problem with this particular business is that the govt will ALWAYS have customers. It has them by force. Now, where does a govt make 99.5% of its money? It makes it from the TAX PAYERS! The govt is a shitty business model becuase it doesnt make money by itself all too often. Now, if we are running a high surplus, that means that the govt is taking WAY TOO much of our money, and needs to give it back to the people who pay it! It doesn't need to make another "social program". It doesnt need to give it to those who "need" it. It needs to give it to those who paid too damn much in taxes in the first place.
You mean a surplus means a company is making profits? Oh man, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!
