Wisconsin's budget surplus.

[Missouri_Mike]

The debt is long-term contractual obligations.
The surplus is a short-term revenue surplus.

If you have money today but bills are coming due in the future you don’t have a surplus. What you have is money that you’ll have to pay out.

No you can't and no it isn't.

Ok Bob, if you get a house loan you have debt. If you make more than you spend every year you have a budget surplus.
