Yes, the 'surplus' was a myth covered by one of the most regressive taxes around. Smoke and mirrors, it was really still deficit spending.

And a pretty hard cut in the military, as if once the USSR was through there'd never be another threat.

Protect who? The only way to contain health care costs is rationing. Right now the evil insurance industry takes the heat. How on earth can an elected government deny exorbitant experimental treatments to anyone and everyone?

And I bet the judiciary is salivating over the thought of a heath care bill.
