The tax cut, coupled with a declining economy, had indeed soaked up practically the entire current surplus, as Democrats had warned. The non-Social Security surplus would be just $1 billion in 2001 and not much more than that in 2002. Over 10 years, the non-Social Security surplus would be just $575 billion, down $850 billion from the forecast in April...
TEST THE WATERS Katherine Crowley, a New York City psychotherapist and co-owner of Small Business Strategy, a consultancy, suggests that couples who are thinking of going into a business in which the wife is the boss might first try putting her in charge of a shared household project like painting a room or organizing closets.
