| | 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. |  | | 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. |  | | Intragovernmental debt includes money for government trust funds, such as pension plans and the debt for social security which is about $1.7 trillion as of May 2005. |

 | | Today, the finances involved in contracting and redeeming the public debt of a country are a sizable proportion of its government budget. |  | | National public debts are contracted chiefly by incurring interest-paying loans, in the form of bonds, bills, or notes. |  | | Public debts tend to be large-scale credit operations and are contracted on a national scale by central governments and on a lesser scale by provincial, regional, district, and municipal administrative bodies. |

| | Sustainable Public Debt |
 | | While fiscal deficits and the public debt and have always been contentious political issues, most economists recognize that a government should be able to safely and reasonably finance at least some part of its spending through the issuance of debt in lieu of taxation. |  | | For the debt to be at the level where the primary budget is balanced (i.e., |  | | less than the public debt as a percentage of national income (the right-side term) then the public debt and/or the deficit spending rate is unsustainable. |

| | Public ownership - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch |
 | | Public sector institutions have access to finance at government interest rates, which are (almost) always lower than even the most financially secure private sector firms, because the government cannot go bankrupt, which means less risk to the lender. |  | | Public ownership of profitable services may lead to "gold-plating" (over-investment in assets) if decisions are driven by engineering ideals and not efficiency concerns. |  | | Public ownership can protect consumer interests in sectors where competition is low, where choices are important but made infrequently, and/or where consumers do not have the expertise to make good decisions (such as in health care). |

 | | Although the site uses budget publications for 2001 as examples, the government is fairly consistent in naming its publications and these titles can be used to find the appropriate fiscal year in most cases. |  | | The debt is “the sum of what America has borrowed over the years to finance deficit.” We also forget that America earns an annual income greater than the national debt, which means our economy can support it. |  | | In addition to providing a useful table called “Revenues, Outlays, Deficits and Debt Held by the Public, Fiscal Years 1962-1993 (In billions of dollars),” it also analyses the spending and revenue options of the government during the fiscal years 1995-1999. |
