Judd Gregg: “As the Senator knows, there are a lot of other functions. But I am looking at the surplus, at the deficit surplus…”

On the recordJuly 22, 1998
As the Senator knows, there are a lot of other functions. But I am looking at the surplus, at the deficit surplus function, on budget, July: $37 million, $46 million, $45 million, $1 million, $11 million, zero; then we go into surplus, $5 million, $44 million, $55 million, $65 million. We can spend the entire day here debating what the CBO means when it puts a surplus number out which says an on-budget surplus number. But the numbers are there. The Senator said find me a place where we can show a surplus. I found him a place. He wants to try to talk now about gross debt--

In Hillary's case, it's a big issue, because of her -- because of the challenges that she has on the ethical side. In Trump's case, it's a big issue, because he's so erratic.
