Some info for you about US federal government debt.

• Current "National Debt" $27 TRILLION. This number is ONLY the amount owed by US gov. to US Treasury bond holders/purchases. Individuals, corporations, countries. Does not include unfunded liabilities like SS, Medicare, etc. which equal $156 TRILLION.
