U.S. NATIONAL DEBT - GROSS
The GROSS national debt is the public national debt plus the money that the
government owes itself - money from the Social Security Trust Fund, et cetera.
Calculated with a 6.0% decline in the GDP for the 4th quarter.
(See the Wall Street Journal, 11 December 2008.)
For Charles Schwab the"December Market Snapshot
with Liz Ann Sonder"
has the Gross National Debt at around 82 percent of GDP.
Her sources are probably better than mine.
