David R. Gergen
The Social Security surplus is always being spent. Now it's going to defense and rebuilding rather than paying down debt. From a psychological standpoint, spending it may even be good for privatization. Opponents might use that surplus as a hedge, saying we've got money in a lock-box and don't need to privatize.
Michael Tanner
But if you have a big trade surplus it will give Western politicians an excuse or tool for them to put pressure on the currency.

Kahl Muscott
We believe China's trade surplus will gradually drop, but it will take time before it drops dramatically.
Louis Kuijs
That surplus is being spent on everything the government does from rutabaga research to the war in Iraq. If Congress is going to spend like a drunken sailor, take the bottle away from them.
Michael Tanner
After investing more than $500 million in business infrastructure and education during the present cycle, the success of these investments is expected to drive increased funding.

Mark Willis
I voted against that bill because it didn't make sense to create a new tax while the state is growing and has an $8 billion surplus.
Richard Raymond

Angus Gluskie
It makes our operations show that there's a big surplus when you don't have a big surplus.
Dale Timmermann
It's mandated by the state ? we had to use a lot of our surplus and it affected keeping our taxes down. It's not bad when you think that last year taxes went down six (cents).
Michael Payton

Larry Beinfest
European companies are driving the economic integration of the region. Europe has a trade surplus and relatively high rates of household income and savings. In addition, European stocks are relatively low-priced.

Steve Brice

Charles Langley
I think an ample current account surplus is one of the factors that can boost the won and prompt intervention in the first quarter.
Chun Chong Woo
The 30-year bond is being hurt a little bit by fears of increased government spending, no more surplus, deficit spending. But what has mitigated the losses a little bit today is the fact that oil is down so much.
Bill Hornbarger
It's still a fast pace and that's partly to do with the difficulty in managing this very large balance of payments surplus because part of it is spilling over into the money supply.

David Littmann
This is basically surplus, and the vaccine has a limited shelf-life. So instead of disposing of it, we wanted to make it available to people who may have missed earlier opportunities to get their shots.
Jeannie Keating
The plans are quite different. They're different in how much of the surplus they would use. They're different in where those surplus dollars would go. They're different in which groups of the population would get the principal benefits.
Robert Greenstein
People were somewhat focused on the trade surplus numbers. Japan is ultimately an exporting country and those exports are getting more expensive.

Mark Norris
2005 was the best year for commercial construction since 2001, (but) we've still got that stock of buildings where we have a surplus.

The surplus will continue shrinking as oil prices push up imports. The biggest concern is that rising oil prices could derail growth in the U.S. and other countries, which would be a blow to Japanese exports.
Naoki Iizuka
It's inconsistent that UH pays rent. We've always had a cash surplus every year.
Howard Ikeda
We are having a negative bout in stocks, especially U.S. stock markets, and that is making investors a bit more cautious. With Brazil's trade surplus being driven by commodities, the drop in prices there is also hurting us.
Alexandre Vasarhelyi
While there is no question that the sponsor is responsible for any deficit in the plan, it is not at all clear that the sponsor benefits from any surplus that may be generated.
David Dodge
I believe that Brazil will meet its target for the primary budget surplus in 2006. However, it's normal that in an electoral year the government will lift its expenses, reducing the surplus in the second half.
Nuno Camara
Argentina has finally given a sign of tranquility, and the market felt free to rise. Investors also got some good news on our primary budget surplus, which is an important factor for foreigners.
Helio Ozaki
A man with a surplus can control circumstances, but a man without a surplus is controlled by them, and often has no opportunity to exercise judgment.
Harvey S. Firestone
These huts were probably sold off as surplus and probably purchased by a single builder or developer and probably for no more that $100 to $200 each.
Chris Chiei
The budget surplus is $5.6 trillion. Two and a half trillion of that is put aside for Social Security and paying down the national debt, ... That leaves $3.1 trillion in surplus. That's after we've taken care of all existing spending. We're only asking that half of that, [$1.6 trillion] out of the $3.1 trillion, be used for tax cuts.
Lawrence Lindsey
The swearing of Turner, a man of immense frame and muscular power, during our evening's conversation, was most terrific. I had heard mountain swearing before, but his went far beyond all former examples. He could do all the swearing for our army in Mexico, and then have a surplus.
John Turner
The key was how little effort it was to actually learn something and be able to apply that learning on the fly. We applied the learning later that week for a nice surplus. And it took all of a couple hours work.
Brian Platter
We support education, but this is not a project that needs to be funded by the Nueces County taxpayers. There are many uses for surplus money in Nueces County. There are portions of the unincorporated area that do not have potable water. There are roads that need to be constructed or improved.
Terry Carter
Buoyant market demand for the group's portfolio of commodities, except titanium dioxide feedstock where surplus supply exists, is expected to support strong price levels.
Con Fauconnier
Even with the court-ordered spill we still have plenty of surplus.
John Fazio

Brian O'connell
We also have Brazil's strong trade surplus, and the reduction in the central bank offering of currency swap contracts, and they are all combining to push up the currency.
Flavio Farah
It's the rest of the state that has all these power watches and stages and all these alerts. We are actually selling them our surplus power as we speak to help them keep their lights on.
David Freeman
One might expect that this female surplus would encourage more men to take second wives, but having two families simultaneously is difficult.
Peter Frost
The surplus will begin to moderate at some point relatively soon, partly because of some slowing in U.S. growth and partly because Japanese imports will begin to catch up a bit to the export surge.
Robert Feldman
The recent narrowing in Japan's trade surplus has come as improving domestic demand has pushed up the nation's import bills and thereby offset some of steady export gains.
Yasukazu Shimizu
It's currently a surplus asset in the community. Randolph has always embraced its public. We'll want to have a meeting and consider all options.
John Lovell
They fight so much for two reasons. One is they don't want to be blamed for breaking the spending caps. And secondly, they don't want to be blamed for spending the Social Security surplus on non-Social Security problems.
Robert Reischauer
The trade surplus will continue to shrink because of higher oil prices and sluggish exports. The direct effect of high oil prices on Japan is negligible and domestic capital spending is strong which is also causing imports to rise.
Junichi Makino
The exchange rate is again under the spotlight as a wave of protectionist rhetoric rushed through the U.S. against China's large trade surplus and its undervalued currency.
Adam Le Mesurier
We're just beginning to benefit from replacement business from the post-Sept. 11 period because a lot of capital projects dried up then and a number of our customers had surplus inventory until recently.
Tom Crafton
When that happens, there are choices we can make about how surplus funds can be used strategically and deliberately to invest in Alberta's future, ... They will be made throughout the year as our financial forecasts are updated.

Rakesh Saraf
There are fears in the oil markets of the continued supplying of markets with crude oil although there's a big surplus; there are quantities that the market cannot absorb, there is no buyer.
Sheikh Ahmad
Although the trade surplus declined for the ninth straight month, both exports and imports were up strongly in December.
Mamoru Yamazaki
China's trade surplus has become a structural feature of the economy, so while political pressure may grow, the economic argument for a stronger yuan is weak.
Tim Condon
We were also provided with improved planting materials such as pineapple suckers, banana suckers, mosaic free cassava cuttings and vegetable seeds. Today we produce enough food for consumption and sell the surplus.
Hassan Waiswa
The size of the income surplus is approaching that of the trade surplus, and this is a trend worth watching.
Koji Kobayashi
We have committed to the endowments, which is saving, we've committed to capital, which is investment, we've committed to inflation-proofing the Heritage Fund . . . and there is the very real possibility that we could add more dollars in that area, ... So we're talking about a small amount of this surplus, really.
Shirley Mcclellan
The extra boxes will be put to good use. We can repackage the surplus supplies in those boxes and distribute them to other shelters. In fact, we have another church coming in later today to share in these supplies.
Annette Johnson
There was this pool of money sitting in the retirement funds, that was not part of the (state treasury). A couple of legislatures burned up that surplus. We came back to ground zero — and then we got into the loss years.
Terry Moore
OPEC today produces 30.4 million bpd and there is a surplus in the market estimated at over two million barrels.
Sheikh Ahmad
With distillate stocks at a 14 million-barrel surplus, the forecast for colder temperatures isn't providing much support. It is too little, too late.
John Kilduff
In light of the surplus, the MTA needs to assess whether the next fare hike is necessary.
Mike Bloomberg
Three cents sounds good. We do have a surplus and we should do something about the surplus and this is a way of giving something back to the taxpayers.
Charles Feaga
Food companies like Kraft have gotten more and more efficient through better production techniques, lower inventories and stronger quality control. All of that effort has kept prices down but has also reduced the some of the surplus that is available for donation.
Kraft Foods
We've gone from a $30 billion trade surplus in agriculture to a trade deficit, but because of R-CALF, you have now a debate at the international level about fair trade and free trade.
Leo Mcdonnell
The narrowing trade surplus reflects some weakness in electronics exports and rising commodity imports but it's unlikely to be enough to relieve pressure from the U.S. in the short term.
Ben Simpfendorfer
We've had some tremendous needs, and our surplus began to dwindle. This needs to change.
Billy Rhodes
The industry weathered Katrina, but if Rita comes ashore as a Category 4 or 5 storm, it would cast doubt on the solvency of some insurance companies and deplete the surplus capital for others.
Donald Light
A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and various and powerful interests, combined into one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in the banks.
John C. Calhoun
When we were at peace, Democrats wanted to raise taxes. Now there's a war, so Democrats want to raise taxes. When there was a surplus, Democrats wanted to raise taxes. Now that there is a mild recession, Democrats want to raise taxes.
Ann Coulter
We can set aside a surplus to save Social Security or Medicare, or we can pass the burden of the baby boomers retirement off on to our children.
John Spratt
The current-account surplus showed they've still got money coming into the country and the currency is undervalued. The current-account surplus certainly isn't under any threat.
Carlin Doyle
Unfortunately, it was the original trust indenture that titled it surplus fund.
Diane Altland
This is a very strange appropriations year. We are dealing with a surplus and budget cuts. The question is who is gong to take the pain for spending cuts?
David Hamilton
When taxes come in, we're going to have another surplus of money. I don't know if we are doing right by the taxpayers. I don't understand what happened here on Thursday night.
Councilman Charles Matthews
The price strength has been a little surprising given the magnitude of the surplus in U.S. corn inventories. However, over the past 32 years, the central Illinois cash price has never established a marketing year high in February, suggesting that even higher prices might be expected sometime over the next six months.
Darrel Good
We should gradually increase imports to reduce the large surplus between U.S.-China and gradually buy less U.S. debt. Holding so much foreign-exchange reserves exerts a great deal of pressure on our monetary policy.
Cheng Siwei
The trade surplus didn't narrow as much as people had been expecting so that's going to help the yen. The data coming out of Japan is looking pretty robust. So that's going to help the yen.
Kamal Sharma
The federal government has been spending much more of this 'found' (surplus) money in transfers to the provinces and other expenditures that consume current prosperity rather than investing in future prosperity or reducing taxes and debt.
Roger Martin
We want to collect as many supplies as possible, ... I encourage North Carolina farmers who have extra or surplus items to donate to their counterparts in Mississippi.
Steve Troxler
Many states are having an unexpected surplus of revenue, and that is because of economic growth. It's mainly because their estimates on economic growth were very low.
Stephen Slivinski
The economic fundamentals are a very supportive factor for the currency. The current account surplus and exports continue to perform well.
Beat Siegenthaler
I understand there is uncertainty but we've also got to make sure that we get things absolutely right and that what we are doing here is not just solving a problem of surplus places.
Rodney Berman
But if you look at other countries -- like Japan , Germany, or some other Asian and European countries -- they're all accumulating. Japan's surplus is much larger than China's.
Supachai Panitchpakdi
It helped me, the way I grew up, ... My parents didn't have a surplus of anything, so you always had to watch what you did. I carry that to this day.
Ned Colletti
The broader picture for the yen's decline is down to the continued deterioration in Japan's trade surplus.
Derek Halpenny
We think the district can afford it. They have a large budget surplus sitting in the bank; we think we're worth it and for us it's a matter of respect after the pay raises they handed out to administrators over the last few years.
Eric Davis
On the other side of the trade deficit, of course, is the capital surplus. We are buying more goods than we are selling, but, on the other hand, the capital account surplus means that the United States is such an attractive market...that individuals from abroad are investing in the United States...at a record rate.
