The U.S. Debt and How It Got So Big
Five Reasons Why America Is in Debt

BY KIMBERLY AMADEO

Updated August 13, 2018
The U.S. debt is the sum of all outstanding debt owed by the federal government. It exceeded $21 trillion on March 15, 2018. The U.S. Treasury Department's "Debt to the Penny" shows the current total public debt outstanding. This figure changes everyday. The debt clock in New York also tracks it.

Two-thirds is debt held by the public. The government owes this to buyers of U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds. That includes individuals, companies, and foreign governments.

The remaining third is intragovernmental debt. The Treasury owes this to its various departments who hold Government Account securities. Social Security and other trust funds are the biggest owners. They have been running surpluses for years. The federal government uses these surpluses to pay for other departments. These securities will come due as baby boomers retire over the next two decades. Since Social Security and trust funds are the largest owners, the answer as to who owns the U.S. debt the most would be: everyone’s retirement money.

in the world for a single country. It runs neck and neck with that of the European Union, an economic union of 28 countries.

The debt is greater than what America produces in a whole year. This high debt-to-gross domestic product ratio tells investors that the country might have problems repaying the loans. That's a new and worrying occurrence for the United States. In 1988, the debt was only half of America's economic output.


budget deficits. Each new program and tax cut adds to the debt. These show up in budget deficits by president. The largest deficit goes to President Obama. He added the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus package, the Obama tax cuts, and $800 billion a year in military spending. These initiatives halted the 2008 financial crisis.

Although the national debt under Obama grew the most, dollar-wise, it wasn't the biggest percentage increase. That honor goes to Franklin D. Roosevelt. He only added $236 billion, but it was a 1,048 percent increase. He did this to fight the Great Depression and prepare the United States to enter World War II.


President Bush had the second largest deficit. He also fought the financial crisis with the $700 billion bailouts. Bush added the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act and the Jobs Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act tax cuts to end the 2001 recession. He responded to the 9/11 attacks with the War on Terror.


President Reagan cut taxes, increased defense spending, and expanded Medicare. All these presidents also suffered from lower tax receipts resulting from recessions.


Second, every president borrows from the Social Security Trust Fund. The Fund took in more revenue than it needed through payroll taxes leveraged on baby boomers. Ideally, this money should have been invested to be available when the boomers retire. Instead, the Fund was "loaned" to the government to finance increased spending. This interest-free loan helped keep Treasury Bond interest rates low, allowing more debt financing. But it must be repaid by increased taxes when the boomers do retire.


Third, countries like China and Japan buy Treasurys to keep their currencies low relative to the dollar. They are happy to lend to America, their largest customer, so it will keep buying their exports. Even though China warns the United States to lower its debt, it continues to buy Treasuries. But China has lowered its holdings of U.S. debt.


Fourth, the U.S. government has benefited from low interest rates. It couldn't keep running budget deficits if interest rates skyrocketed like they did in Greece. Why have interest rates remained low? Purchasers of Treasury bills are confident that America has the economic power to pay them back. During the recession, foreign countries increased their holdings of Treasury bonds as a safe haven investment. These holdings went from 13 percent in 1988 to 31 percent in 2011.


Fifth, Congress raises the debt ceiling. Congress sets a limit on the debt but still increases it. That didn't happen between 2011 through 2013, though. That was because the debt crisis resulted in a government shutdown and budget sequestration. In 2015, Congress suspended the ceiling until after the 2016 presidential elections. In 2017, it raised the debt ceiling until December 8, 2017.

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday said his government would "significantly lower" tariffs on vehicle imports this year as part of efforts to further open its giant economy to the world.

The pledge addresses one of the gripes of US President Donald Trump, who has threatened to impose new tariffs on $150 billion of Chinese goods in a trade dispute between the world's two largest economies. Experts cautioned, though, that Xi's comments may not do much to resolve the conflict, which has rocked markets in recent weeks."

[PoliticalChic]

Imagine what JFK's rating would be if the media didn't create a fictional "camelot" and instead focused on JFK's prescription drug abuse and philandering. You almost gotta laugh that Harry Truman couldn't even get enough support in his own freaking party to run for a second full term and yet the Gallup has him at 45%. LBJ was a freaking joke and people were chanting in the streets when he was president and he quit just when we needed leadership but Gallup has him at 55%. The media created a freaking misery index during the Carter years but Gallup has him at 46%,. Does Gallup hae a political agenda or am I missing something?

When you take the average of something, it includes everything, low poll numbers, high poll numbers etc. The lower numbers for Carter get averaged out by the higher numbers he had earlier in his term. Same with other Presidents. Trumps highest poll number is only 45%. His lowest is 35%. His average over the course of the last 19 months is 39%.

Sooooo......that means Hillary gets to take over?


No?


That must hurt.....every single day.

This is a list of polling averages for the Presidents. It has nothing to do with Hillary.

But....do you?

65. "China's Xi Jinping says tariffs on car imports will be cut this year

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday said his government would "significantly lower" tariffs on vehicle imports this year as part of efforts to further open its giant economy to the world.

The pledge addresses one of the gripes of US President Donald Trump, who has threatened to impose new tariffs on $150 billion of Chinese goods in a trade dispute between the world's two largest economies. Experts cautioned, though, that Xi's comments may not do much to resolve the conflict, which has rocked markets in recent weeks."

The gallup poll has been measuring Presidential approval ratings since the 1940s, longer than any other company or organization involved in polling. Here is how the Presidents rank:

OVERALL AVERAGE APPROVAL RATING WHILE PRESIDENT:

John F. Kennedy - 70%
Dwight D. Eisenhower - 65%
George H.W. Bush - 61%
Lyndon B. Johnson - 55%
Bill Clinton - 55%
Ronald Reagan - 53%
George W. Bush - 49%
Richard Nixon - 49%
Barack Obama - 48%
Gerald Ford - 47%
Jimmy Carter - 46%
Harry S. Truman - 45%
Donald J. Trump - 39%

After nearly 2 years as President, having an overall approval rating of 39% is not a good place to be at. It may go up or down from here, but as time goes back, its likely to solidify around this number of 39%. Donald Trump has never had even a daily or weekly approval rating above 45%. There has never been a President with such a low probability of being re-elected based on the latest data.

Would that be the very same "data" that gave Trump no chance of being elected in the first place? I hate to point out the obvious here, U2...but the voters don't seem to care about your "data"!

No, Bill burned his draft card.....then cheated on his wife, and lied to you right to your face saying :I did not have sexual relations with that woman, and you believed him.....

And you andy would have admitted it in front of your family all America??? BULL SHIT

First off I don't fuck around when I am married. I also didn't burn my draft card but served my country during the cold war and 1st gulf. Bill avoided the military, and so did the community agitator...Guess Mooslims don't like to war against Mooslims….

Trump Approval with GOP Voters Hits 90% -- Overall Approval Still Higher Than Obama at Same Time in His Presidency

Oh, and by the way, he still hasn't been impeached, which all you whiney ass liberal have be calling for... Bwaaaahhhhhhaaaaaaa….

Really...where is the poll that says that 90% of Republicans 'love' (that exact word) President Trump?

And where is your link to unbiased proof that all liberals are 'such stupid people'?


I guarantee you can provide neither link...which means both of your points are TOTAL NONSENSE.


And your comment 'he still has not been impeached' is hilarious. You say that like it is a good thing...something to be proud of.

The share of the public approving of Trump’s job performance is not very different from the share approving of Clinton (42%) or Reagan (44%) 18 months into their administrations.
Trump’s approval ratings so far are unusually stable – and deeply partisan

Clinton didn't get much more than 42% of the vote when he was elected!

There has never been a President with such a low probability of being re-elected based on the latest data.

After nearly 2 years of badgering from the FAKE NEWS, 90% of Republicans still love President Trump and 10% of Democrats say he is doing a great job. Paul Krugman, the liberal economist's math that would make President Trump 100% in favor of...….God you liberals are such stupid people.

Trump Approval with GOP Voters Hits 90% -- Overall Approval Still Higher Than Obama at Same Time in His Presidency

Oh, and by the way, he still hasn't been impeached, which all you whiney ass liberal have be calling for... Bwaaaahhhhhhaaaaaaa….

Stay tuned, the mechanisms of impeachment are not in place yet, but will be after early November. The current Republican party is not the Republican party of 10, 20, or 30 years ago. Its much smaller. Right now, only 25% of people in the country identify as Republicans, the lowest ever. Its because so many people have LEFT the Republican party that Trump does so well with those that remain.

Go ahead and impeach him! That will guarantee a second term, just like it did for Clinton!

Don't care. The bitch lost. America is saved.

American will be saved when the current President who is acting as an agent of the Russian Federation is either removed or voted out of office.

Hilarious!

Maybe you could write for SNL!

Yeah, like they stayed at that 39% you claimed. Lol

The share of the public approving of Trump’s job performance is not very different from the share approving of Clinton (42%) or Reagan (44%) 18 months into their administrations.
Trump’s approval ratings so far are unusually stable – and deeply partisan

The difference is, Trumps numbers will either drop or remain where they are, while Clintons and Reagans easily improved.

Libtards cannot read and math is hard.

That just shows a weekly average of polls, not the average of everything since he became President.

Both numbers are completely meaningless.

It is beyond stupid to think that an average of completely different, largely competing political polls have any basis whatsoever on the actual approval of a president. It is also beyond even that level of stupid to then take that average each day and again average them together over the entire term of a presidency.

Scroll up to the link I posted. The AVERAGE, is the average of all the polls taken by GALLUP since Trump became Presidency, compared to the overall average of Gallups polls for each President!

Still nonsense.

The average of a poll that was not even considered during the 2016 election is meaningless.

Gallup is an outlier poll btw.

There is not another Polling organization or company once they averaged all their polling data for Trump that would not have Trump at the bottom like Gallup does or at least close to the bottom.

Why do you not understand, not apparently does Gallup, that you simply cannot "average" polls? It is statistically insignificant.
