“Absolutely not. And I think my colleague and I would probably not do that. We would not want it to increase faster than the rate of inflation for sure. But even if it goes up faster, it has got to go up slower than the rate of revenue growth. By doing so, we create this middle area here. That is the surplus. We take one-third of the surplus and supply additional tax cuts. And Alan Greenspan today said, as we are going through this process, the interest rates will come down, and that will promote a stronger economy. And he suggested if we are going to do tax cuts, that we make them across the board, reduce the marginal rate kind of thing. And I think he is right there. The other two-thirds of this surplus, we start making mortgage payments on the Federal debt. When we pay off the Federal debt, the money that has been taken out of the Social Security Trust Fund would be returned, because that Social Security Trust Fund money is all part of the Federal debt. So under this plan, three things happen. First, the senior citizens who are worried about their Social Security can rest assured that Social Security would be restored. As we are paying off the debt, the money taken out of Social Security would be put back. Second, the people in the work force today would be entitled to additional tax cuts each and every year as far as the eye can see.”
