A $521 billion deficit dwarfs any surplus we've known in recent years, both in absolute and relative-to-GDP terms. I don't see how you can call this small and $180 billion a "large" surplus.

I never said your number for the surplus was large. The deficit isn't anything to get one's knicker's in a twist about, however.
The wheels are in motion to slash it by half. Too many here are seeing the race and not the prize.
