Economist: ‘True’ Federal Debt Masked by Draining U.S. Treasury

The federal debt continues to climb to unprecedented levels, but the “actual, true” debt is higher if the Treasury weren’t being drained, a national economist says.

Citing Bureau of the Fiscal Service data, E. J. Antoni, Ph.D., an economist at the Heritage Foundation, argues that as the federal debt increases, the “true daily deficit” is being masked by the amount of cash being drained from the U.S. Treasury by Treasury Department Secretary Janet Yellen.

  1. Can't wait till it takes 4 billion of the once great Yankee green-backs to buy a loaf of white bread. Add another 500,000 for whole wheat.

  3. While this is a good article, as usual from Tenn. Starr, the real debt is about ten times the stated $34.5T when including the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare/Medicade which are being given away for free to the millions of invaders currently residing here whose number is growing by leaps and bounds.

    1. They give it away because it isn't worth anything anymore. The rest of us will come to realize that very soon. Enjoy "America" life for the short time it has remaining.

  7. And we borrow money from? Yellow (not a typo) is scared to say "NO". We the people say no more spending... The national debt enables the federal government to pay for important programs and services for the American public,” it adds. I can think of a LOT of services that do not need govt funding... DC is nothing but pimps...
