Surplus Mania: A Reality Check
L. Randall Wray
Economics Policy Note Archive from Levy Economics Institute
Abstract:
A federal government surplus has finally been achieved, and it has been met with pronouncements that it is a great gift for the future and with arguments about what to do with it. However, the surplus will be short-lived, it will depress economic growth, and, in any case, surpluses cannot be "used" for anything.
