Budget surplus grows to 115 billion in 1999 forecast
President Clinton announced a raised estimate of a growing budget surplus reaching at least 115 billion dollars for fiscal 1999. He framed it as a major American comeback and urged Republicans to back a modest tax cut while addressing Social Security and Medicare. He referenced past economic improvements and warned against overly large tax cuts, proposing 250 to 300 billion as a target. He also said debt reduction could lead to debt-free status by 2015.
