Technically, O'Neill is absolutely correct in his allusion to "as far into the future as the eye can see." The eye can see precisely zero "distance" into the future. Perhaps even his statement that "things are going to be good" is true, with a qualification. "Things" will be good, people will be mauled. O'Neill Predicts Strong U.S. Surpluses WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill on Friday predicted strong future U.S. economic growth and substantial budget surpluses ``as far into the future as the eye can see.'' In an interview with NBC's ``Today'' show, O'Neill dismissed suggestions the United States' economy was in for a lengthy downturn. ``We are doing well and our economy is going to come back. We are going to restore ourselves to the growth path that we have experienced and things are going to be good,'' said O'Neill. Tom Walker Bowen Island, BC 604 947 2213
