| | U.S. public debt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The U.S. public debt, commonly called the national debt or the gross federal debt, is the amount of money owed by the United States federal government. | | | National debt can be held by the citizens of the country, or by institutions outside of the country. | | | Unlike the debt of a corporation though, a holder of the debts owed by governments can't force the government into bankruptcy to pay the debt. |

| | Zeroing the National Debt |
| | We no longer hear talk about zeroing the national debt, but as recently as 2001 it was considered by many to be possible and was a topic of much interest. | | | Driving the national debt down to zero, or even close to zero, has consequences that have not been adequately recognized. | | | The debt generally referred to is that held by the public in Treasury bills, notes, and bonds, rather than the official debt that includes intra-governmental claims, the so-called trust funds. |

| | Even if the debt had increased considerably in the second year, the increase in the GNP would have offset the increased ND. | | | On the other hand, very large deficits and long-term debts can be justified if the programs for which this money will be used can be shown to improve some aspect of the society so the outlay can be considered an investment that will pay for itself over and above expected interest rates. | | | Yes, we paid off our debt with cheaper dollars, but we paid dearly because of the inflated interest rates we suffered most of those years. |
