See Borrowing Near An End
Washington reports fiscal officials say after six years of heavy borrowing the government may operate next fiscal year without new cash from the money market. With 800 million dollars from June borrowing flowing into the treasury, the plan centers on refinancing obligations due after July 1. Social Security and baby bond sales are expected to provide steady revenue, enabling about 700 million dollars in borrowing next year from future beneficiaries rather than investors at large. Baby bond sales could bring roughly 500 million dollars next year if current buying continues.
