The unified budget of the federal government is projected to have a surplus for at least a decade. However, large annual budget deficits over the past 2 decades sharply increased the total amount of debt owed to the public and its associated annual interest payments. This report presents current information on the federal debt, including how debt is defined and measured; who holds federal debt; how much it has grown in recent years; and its significance to the nat. economy. Information is provided in a clear, concise and easily understandable manner for a nontechnical audience. Includes a short bibliography for readers who are interested in more detailed information.

Articles, reports, and books on the federal debt and its effects tend to be complex and technical. As a result, the public frequently misunderstands these issues. For example, people often forget that even if Congress and the President agree to balance the annual budget within the next several years, the federal debt will continue to grow until balance is actually achieved. Although declining deficits and, ultimately, balanced budgets could reduce the debt as a share of the economy, the debt will not decline unless there is a budget surplus. This document responds to frequently asked questions about the federal debt, deficits, and interest rates. GAO organizes these questions into three sections: (1) trends in the federal debt, deficits, and interest; (2) sales and ownership of federal debt; and (3) effects of the federal debt. For readers who are interested in more detailed information on these topics, GAO includes a short bibliography.
