there should also be one in June, Sept, and Jan. That's when quarterly taxes are due. In normal years that happens. This year is the first year since the crisis that looks like it could be a normal year. I don't know how close we are to hitting the debt ceiling, but I have a feeling we won't be hearing about it for longer than you would expect, especially if we do get another surplus in June.
