The Congressional Budget Office yesterday made a presentation to the Social Security Advisory Board regarding the recession-induced decline in the Social Security surplus. I don't believe the presentation is available online, but I've uploaded a copy here.

This is why we have needed a balanced or surplus budget for a long time. Inflation allows some deficit, and then when it falls too low, the budget runs an even nastier deficit than before.
If not for debt and deficits, the government would not have incentive to create more inflation than is necessary to keep people from stuffing currency in the mattress.
