Abstract
This paper examines the pros and cons of the U.S. National Debt and concludes that the U.S. should attempt to reduce the debt, but not clear it.
From the Paper
"For nearly 150 years the U.S. government managed to keep a balanced budget. The only time a budget deficit existed during these years was in times of war or other catastrophic events. For instance, the government created deficits during the War of 1812, the recession of 1837, the Civil War, the depression of the 1890s, and World War I. However, once each incident ended the deficit would be eliminated. The economy was much stronger than the accumulated debt and would therefore quickly absorb it. The last time the budget ran a surplus was in 1969 during Nixon's presidency. Budget deficits have grown larger and more frequent in the last half-century. In the 1980s they soared to record levels. The government cut income tax rates, greatly increased defense spending, and didn't cut domestic spending enough to make up the difference. The deep recession of the early 1980s reduced revenues, raising the deficit and forcing the Government to spend much more on paying interest for the national debt at a time when interest rates were high. As a result, the national debt grew exponentially in size after 1980. It grew from $709 billion to $3.3 trillion in 1990, only one decade later."

From the Paper
"The restrictions imposed on credits, combined with the increased costs of purchasing the credit will generate fewer investment opportunities and fewer development resources. Companies will have to be restructured; they will be obliged to downsize their employees and increase the prices of their products and services in order to avoid bankruptcy. This will generate a general price increase and also an increased unemployment rate. Also, a national debt that is increasing at a superior rate as compared to the economic development rate is likely to generate dollar devaluation in comparison to other international currencies, such as the EUR, GBP or the YEN.
"As such, the major impacts a continuing ascendant national debt will have upon the economy reveal a growing demand for credits and the increasing costs of credits, the general price increase, a growing unemployment rate and the devaluation of the national currency."

From the Paper
"Farm Bills are notorious for under-spending their allocation. That is because the price supports sections, which are a significant part of the bills, generally fall below that which is allocated. For this reason, the author chose to analyze actual amounts spent each year on agriculture (totaling for every 5 years) rather than the amounts of the Farm Bills in question. The one exception to this is the 2007 Farm Bill, which at $290 billion is more than twice the previous five-year period, and an increase from 6% to 13% of the Federal budget. While the Farm Bill actual expenses could be higher , the expected continuation of high farm commodity prices suggests that much of that portion of the bill will not be spent in the upcoming period. Since the Federal deficit in 2007 is historically low (1.0%, as compared to 2.6% over the past 50 years), that means that the Farm Bill's correlation as compared with previous 5-year periods is fairly low. Even a reduction to 8-10%, however, would show a low correlation with Federal deficits, as the pork barrel spending is increasing as the deficit is decreasing."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the government is just as effected at the economic crisis at the public and how both sections of the economy have been thrown into debt. The paper examines the differences between these two types of debts and discusses ways that the government can change policies and introduce reforms in order to end this cycle.
From the Paper
"The gross Federal debt is divided into two categories: debt held by the public, and debt the government owes itself. The first category, public debt, is the total of all federal deficits, minus surpluses, over the years. This is the money that the Federal Government has borrowed from the public, such as notes and bonds of varying sizes and time periods. This debt is held by individuals, corporations, state or local governments, foreign governments, and other entities outside of the US government. This does not include Federal Financing Bank securities. (A side note here: the Federal Financing Bank was established to ?consolidate and reduce the governments cost of financing a variety of federal agencies and other borrowers whose obligations are guaranteed by the Federal Government?.)

From the Paper
"The new federation quickly moved towards the institutionalization of its economic and socio-political and industrial revampment for the perusal of prosperity. What followed was governance that gained popularity for its liberal legislation.
Australia immediately instituted high protective tariffs in order to restrain competition to Australian infant industry. This gave a major head start to the Australian industrial development, a form of supplementation for the infant industry to develop without facing any unhealthy competitions until its ready for the world market. In the next two decades many important enactments were ratified. Most notably, Pacific Island Laborer's Act 1901, Immigration restriction Act 1901, Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902, Judiciary Act 1903, Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1904, Supreme Court Ordinance no. 9 of 1911, Commonwealth Electoral Act 1924 and Belfour Declaration 1926. In fact, the two decades of legal formulation serve as a milestone of Australian development as an industry, society, government and economy. The Laborer's Act of 1901 was enacted to deport a vast majority of the Pacific Islanders by December 1907."

Abstract
A state government's ability to balance the competing objectives of affordability, flexibility and capital demands can be challenging. One of the important objectives of a debt policy is to define the measures of debt affordability. This paper analyzes the prevailing literature on state debt affordability. It investigates the methods of debt affordability assessment that state governments currently practice and finds that states typically have an informal approach to addressing key policy elements regarding state debt and state debt managers often have no clear standard for measuring affordability. The writer presents two methods for addressing the problem of affordability: A generational model that attempts to determine how much debt is being shouldered by each generation and a relative affordability model that compares states' ratios of debt to resources available. In response to the literature, recommendations are made arguing for the importance of including affordability assessments in debt policy, the implementation of more formalized policies dealing with state debt affordability, the refinement of the generational model for use at the state level, and the use of the relative affordability model as a tool for debt managers.
From the Paper
"Debt has become one of the most important tools of contemporary state governments. It is used to finance a plethora of each state's ventures every year. Since 1975, the outstanding state debt has doubled nearly eight times, resulting in a $548 billion dollar tab as of the year 2000. Generally, this debt is non-guaranteed and issued by different entities created by the state which are not bound by traditional centralized oversight and control. This long-term debt is typically issued to finance capital expenses (Brecher, Richwerger, & Van Wagner, 2003). These capital expenses can take many forms, ranging from homeless shelters to sports stadiums and everything in between (Robbins & Dungan, 2001)."

Taxes and the Federal Debt, 2002.
A paper which explores how cutting taxes might ultimately help the growing federal debt.

Abstract
The paper explores how cutting taxes may ultimately be an important strategy in reducing the federal debt of the United States. The federal debt has been a long standing concern of American citizens, politicians and economists. Today, the federal government faces a projected gross federal debt of $6,118,364 million in 2005. The paper shows how governments have traditionally taken the stance of increasing taxes or cutting spending in order to reduce the deficit. These attempts have largely failed due to unanticipated budget concerns. It explores how, in traditional attempts to reduce the debt, cutting taxes was thought to be a way to decrease national revenues, thus potentially increasing the debt. However, many economists are now considering that cutting taxes may help to stimulate the economy, paradoxically resulting in increased taxation revenue through higher employment and better wages. The paper examines how tax cuts may prove to be a way to increase revenues, thus potentially providing a means to reduce the federal debt. It also examines President Bush's Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA, designed to cut taxes, reduce the debt, and stimulate the national economy.
From the Paper
"Critics however, argue that EGTRRA will ultimately fail. They note that misrepresentations in federal budgeting overestimate budget surpluses, including mistakes in long term costs of retirement programs from a budgeted $5.6 trillion to a mere 1.6 trillion. Further, they note that EGTRRA will reduce revenues through tax cuts. Ultimately, the critics argue that the combination of a decreased budget surplus and tax cuts will sink the EGTRRA (Gale and Potter).
If the critics are correct, and the EGTRRA fails, the government will be forced to increase taxes, reduce spending, or increase the public debt. As such, plans to reduce taxes may once again result in increased federal debt."
