I am giving President Obama credit for this month's surplus of funds for the government, based on most of the income comes from Corporations due to a change in deadline dates corporations filed taxes this year, and the improving economy. one cannot assume a switch was thrown in November and corporations started making money hands over fist once Trump was elected. Thank you President Trump. Federal spending has dropped under our new President also helping close the deficit numbers. He froze some hiring, and told agencies to cut spending, and looks like this has also happened. www.marketwatch.com/story/us-april-budget-surplus-rises-to-182-billion-2017-05-10I say if deficits are turning into positive payments, this President sends to Congress the following proposal: designate the money go in various directions. 20% goes to fund Trumpcare or Obamacare (I do not care what it is called, it is a boondoggle) lowering cost to consumers, and also lowering deductibles. 20% to infrastructure projects 20% for education, both public schools as well as higher University education as well as job skill education, but nothing towards "for profit Universities. etc". We have to work on rebuilding the inner city school system and save generations of young children trapped in this system from vastly underperforming educational results. 20% towards repayment of funds to Social Security iou's and 20% to Medicare and Medicaid (10% to each) 20% towards deficit reduction. I would keep the the percentages to as few areas as possible so we get the best bang for our dollars and do not dilute the pipeline with too many different categories where nothing really makes any changes for anything.
