Would it surprise Washington Times readers to learn that the United States has held public debt since 1789? Well, it's true. For more than two centuries, federal government securities such as Treasury bills and notes have been heavily borrowed from the general public. The total amount of public debt can increase or decrease depending on whether the country is running a budgetary deficit or surplus. Alas, Washington has acquired an unfortunate infatuation with growing the public debt rather than systematically reducing it. To provide some perspective, the United States owed the public a mere $37,000 in 1836. That figure is nearly $16.8 trillion today.

WASHINGTON -- Anticipation in advance of the coming Group of 20 meeting in London centers on doing something about the excesses in the financial markets that led to the recent housing bubble. Since those excesses were largely triggered by government actions, the G- 20 would do well to focus on limiting the authorities' capacity to engender future bubbles. The housing bubble was a creature of the Federal Reserve's fabrication of money and credit when neither was warranted by economic activity. In 2001, reeling from the bursting of the technology bubble at the end of the 1990s and then the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the Fed lowered the interest rate target from 6.5 percent to 1.75 percent; by June 2003, the rate was down to 1 percent.
