What are some reasons why the federal government showed a surplus in the late 1990s? why did that surplus disappear?

1 answer:

3 0

It was showed as a surplus because it was a surplus when it came to the budget. The problem behind it that for the first time in a while, the United States budget worked with a surplus after the year ended even though it was not the idea of a surplus that the people believed.

The surplus disappeared because it never really existed. It was a surplus but it didn't mean that the country was not in debt. The country had a huge amount of debt to other countries or to companies or to any other institution such as a bank. The surplus was eaten up by the debt accumulated over the years. There was a surplus, but the debt was not reduced.

What was the primary concern for the Missouri statehood question?

arsen [322]

The primary concern was related to the number of congressmen from free and slave states. If Missouri was admitted into the Union as a slave state, the congress would have more Southerners than Northerners in the congress which would be bad for slaves everywhere. Northerners therefore asked that if Missouri enters as a slave state, Maine has to be separated and enter as a free state.<span />
