A Huge Credit Card

Marie Bussing-Burks

Chapter Chapter 2 in Deficit, 2012, pp 15-30 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the introduction, I mentioned that the national debt was far too large to put on a traditional credit card. But as this chapter will show, the U.S. Treasury and its agencies allow the country to spend and borrow, much as an individual with a wallet full of credit cards.
