Gross Federal Debt |
| The Department of the Treasury, though our Bureau of the Public Debt, is responsible for administering the National (or Public) Debt. We have compiled the chart below of the total debt at the end of each fiscal year starting with 1940, as excerpted from the Budget of the United States Government. This book is available on-line at the Government Printing Office (GPO). GPO produces this document each year for the Office of Management and Budget. |
