If there was a $98 billion dollar Surplus one year and $25 billion deficit the next year, wouldn’t the state still have 73 billion dollars in the bank at the end of the next year?

If there is some danger of the State running out of cash because of this projected deficit than something is definitely wrong.

Not if you spent $25 billion more than the surplus in year one. You would start year two with a $25 billion deficit.
