Federal Debt

Re “And Now, Tackle the Debt,” editorial, Feb. 3: I couldn’t agree more. With a debt of 5.4 trillion, there can be no “surplus.” The Reagan administration gets much of the credit for the debt, with massive defense spending. It is also possible that this ended the Cold War. If this is true, it is time to pay up. Any surplus should be applied to debt reduction.
