In years past, Republicans also thought this to be a very good idea, but in the present, for some mysterious reason, they now oppose it. Republicans claim that the surplus belongs to the American people, therefore we should get it back. To the average taxpayer, this means an extra hamburger per week. To the more affluent, this means an extra yacht, an extra Mercedes or an extra million bucks to donate to their favorite political candidate. Valgame Dios Santo.
Democrats also believe the surplus belongs to the taxpayers, but so does the national debt.
Sure, give us the extra dollar, but at a future date when we might need it more. Give us the extra cash for a second Mercedes when only one is affordable. Seems to me that most sensible Americans want our loyal politicians to act with maturity and responsibility and seriously consider paying off our national debt now, when we are up to our ears in money.
