Greenspan used the threat of having too much of a surplus as a result the excess money would be invested into private equities.
Wow what a visionary! as soon as they could get a war going they used any surplus we had and more! to Privatize the military, made homeland security, privatize that, Privatized most of FEMA. whatever they could privatize they would do it without surplus. Social security, 401 k, Medicare, post office. Repulicans threatened what will happen if the country is doing great. then do the evil through a fog of war.
