I could explain what the term "Public Debt" means, but I'm not sure you'd understand. The public debt has increased by $715,200,142 a day over the last 9 months. So that's what the government borrowed, not $2 billion a day.
Just trying to keep people from spreading incorrect info.
Oh.....ok, so then you won't have a problem citing me one instance where any public official admits our national debt is ONLY the 4.79T held by the public?.......and I'm sure the fin'l markets will owe you a debt of gratitude for uncovering this remarkable fact.
