	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.
		Debts incurred during the American Revolutionary War and under the Articles of Confederation led to the first yearly reported value of $75,463,476.52 on January 1, 1791.
		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.

	debt, public. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The largest public debts are incurred to meet emergencies, such as war debts that arise when it is difficult to finance the extended activities of the government by new or increased taxes, or when the government must borrow abroad to finance the war effort..
		Public debt is advantageous in that part of the national funds are secured at an interest rate lower than that provided to private industry and in that the financial operations of government are funded on a permanent basis.
		Public debts may be paid by a sinking fund or by annuities, but both have the disadvantage of committing the government to fixed annual payments, whether convenient or not.

	Brazilian Public Debt
		The Brazilian public debt was identified at the start of the Collor administration as the cause of the inflationary conjuncture that existed at the government transition.
		To express the public debt as a function of the GNP eliminates in part this distortion since one compares two magnitudes measured in more compatible currencies (not entirely, since part of the public debt is external).
		If the process is maintained and after selling the state-owned enterprises the public debt amount remains the same, the government would be in the difficult situation of owing 40% of the GNP and not having assets to guaranty it.

	Guidelines for Public Debt Management
		Public debt management problems often find their origins in the lack of attention paid by policymakers to the benefits of having a prudent debt management strategy and the costs of weak macroeconomic management.
		Debt managers who seek to manage actively the debt portfolio to profit from expectations of movements in interest rates and exchange rates, which differ from those implicit in current market prices, should be aware of the risks involved and accountable for their actions.
		Ratios of debt to GDP and to tax revenue, for example, would seem to be very relevant for public debt management, as would indicators such as the debt service ratio, the average interest rate, various maturity indicators, and indicators of the composition of the debt.

	EH.Net Encyclopedia: The United States Public Debt, 1861 to 1975
		Federal debt, as defined by the Treasury, is the public debt plus debt issued by government-sponsored agencies for their own use.
		Many were concerned that the public debt figures were becoming astronomical in size and that there was no end in sight to continued growth as perennial budget deficits forced the government to keep borrowing money.
		The debt declined continuously until 1893 to a low of $961 million with a brief exception in the late 1870s as the country dealt with the recessionary after effects of the Panic of 1873 and the controversy regarding resumption of the gold standard in 1879.

	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.
		A reasonable argument can be made that the level of public debt becomes excessive when its growth in nominal terms (both passively through interest accrual and actively through structural primary budget deficits) exceeds the long-term growth of the economy (and thus its tax revenue base) that the debt was ultimately intended to promote.
		Static partial-equilibrium sustainable debt analysis, however, does indeed appear to be a simple and useful way to assess the economic impact of public debt and fiscal deficits.
