"Excluding debt service"

That's an important and foreboding proviso, considering that a "budget surplus" is an impossible faerie tale, and years of deficit spending are just growing the interest payments. And rest assured that if a balanced budget were ever passed or some unexpected windfall occurred, the Congress would spend that shit faster than a drunken sailor in Olongapo on payday.
