And, by the way, these numbers are based upon conservative assumptions. The first year, the budget is based upon a 2.4 percent growth. It averages a little more than a 3 percent growth over the next 10 years. We can do better than that in America. We've just got some unbelievable productivity gains to be achieved in our economy.
People take a pessimistic view about how to project revenues, and that's fine.
I'm much more optimistic than the point of view here in Washington. So, therefore, if the surpluses don't materialize, well, there's two reasons why surpluses won't materialize. One is that the revenues aren't quite as expected because the economy has slowed down, in which case we need to accelerate tax cuts. You see, tax relief will put money in people's pockets, which will help give the economy a second wind. Or, a reason the surplus may not materialize is because Congress has overspent.
