Loads of countries have budget surpluses.

Loads? These aren't exactly major nations here and the bigger ones are oil producers.

I asked which ones. Denmark has a surplus, but that's accidental and no one's trying to keep it that way.

And if you're about to give Qatar as an example, the point is moot.
