Just for fun, we decided to take a dark, steamy look at the murky underside of the U.S. national debt. Well, okay, it wasn't fun, but we learned something, so we're passing on our cumulative knowledge on to you! Not much in the way of tools here, but we did the math all the same....
Why, you ask? Well, the name of this blog is "Political Calculations", after all....
| National Debt |
|---|
| Subcategory | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| History | Picturing the National Debt | We look at the history of the national debt, from 1900 onward! |
| History | Looking at the U.S. National Debt on a Personal Level | Here, we've taken the national debt and broken it down into individual portions! |
| History | Picturing the U.S. National Debt on a Real Personal Level | Well, what about inflation you ask? We show each individual American's share of the U.S. national debt since 1900 after inflation is taken into account! |
| History | Picturing the U.S. National Debt to Income Ratio | Isn't there a better way to measure the U.S.' debt burden? Well, yes - we can measure it against the U.S.' national income! |
| Economics | Why Isn't the U.S.' National Debt per Capita Higher? | In answering this question, we uncovered an even better way to measure the national debt burden for individual Americans. |
| Public Policy | Automatically Indexing the U.S. Debt Ceiling | We take the index we created in a previous post and show how it might be used to set the U.S.' national debt limit, while keeping the national debt managable. |
