Answer to Question 1

The debt is a significant issue but not as troubling as some in the media make it out to be. The debt is owed to the citizens of the United States and it is the obligation of the government to them. Contrary to public hype, typically foreigners own 30 percent. The real problem with government engaged in deficit spending, which builds debt, is the upward pressure on interest rates and the crowding out of consumer and business borrowing.
