U.S. public debt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia National debt can be held by the citizens of the country, or by institutions outside of the country. 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. The debt slowly fluctuated for the rest of the century, finally growing steadily in the 1910s and early 1920s to roughly $22 billion as the country paid for involvement in World War I. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/U.S._national_debt   (2791 words)

Government debt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Government debt ("public debt", "national debt") is money owed by government, at any level (central government, federal government, national government, municipal government, local government, regional government). Public debt clearing standards are set by the Bank for International Settlements, but defaults are governed by extremely complex laws which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Global debt is of great concern, especially as very often, social capital is depleted (say by downloads of health or welfare services on families or friends), and natural capital is ravaged for "natural resources" to make interest payments. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_debt   (2664 words)

National Debt Graph: (Whitehouse numbers, but take a look!) The national debt peaked at 120% of GDP in 1946 due to the war effort, but Roosevelt, Truman, Ike, Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon and Carter all did their part to bring the national debt back to pre-war levels. In 1981 the gross national debt, as a percent of the nation's annual income, reached it's lowest point since 1931, 32.5%.

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”. wfhummel.cnchost.com /nationaldebt.html   (675 words)

Deficits, the National Debt, and Economic Growth We shouldn't be worrying about deficits and debt; we should instead be worrying about how to achieve non-inflationary growth in national income -- such that national income grows at least as fast as the debt grows. Debt is harmless, even desirable, if it is successfully employed to achieve income growth for current and future generations. Deficits and debt are not the monsters that vote-seeking politicians and donation-seeking special interest groups are portraying it to be. web2.airmail.net /scsr   (1716 words)

WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NATIONAL DEBT? Taken together, the debt of the states and the debt of the Federal Government totals approximately $14 trillion. To conceal the true size of the debt problem, the Federal Government has been returning less money to the states, forcing the states to borrow to meet their obligations. The proprietor of the restaurant is responsible for the error, and if he cannot meet his agreed-to obligations for the agreed-upon price, he should declare bankruptcy, go out of business, and make way for a new restaurant with better fiscal sense. www.whatreallyhappened.com /ndebt.html   (634 words)

America's Total Debt Report - summary page - by MWHodges This chart shows, for the period 1957 to mid 1970s, total debt (red line on chart) was increasing close to the growth rate of national income (blue line on chart), despite paying war debt for WW II, Korea and Vietnam. Stated differently, in 1957 there was $1.86 in debt for each dollar of net national income, but in 2004 there was $4.37 of debt for each dollar of national income.

National Legal Debt Centers, Inc. – Consumer Alert Though there are many different types of debt relief companies advertised, most creditors will not negotiate with them. The goal of the means test is to force as many consumers as possible into a Chapter 13, regardless of whether they can realistically afford to make payments on their debts. And, most people do not realize the difference between the various types of bankruptcy and could easily find themselves paying back a large proportion of their debt anyway, forced by the courts to make those payments. www.prweb.com /releases/2005/10/prweb299784.htm   (651 words)

NATIONAL DEBT 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. www.nutri.com /wn/nd.html   (2560 words)

The National Debt Suddenly, it seems everyone in Washington is singing the virtues of retiring the national debt. The economic argument for debt reduction is clear, say its backers: A sharp drop in the debt would lead to lower interest rates and more business investment, boosting productivity and creating better-paying jobs.
