Census 2000: Sampling as an Appropriations Issue in the 105th Congress

The Debt Limit: The Ongoing Need for Increases

Description: The surpluses over the four fiscal years 1998-2001 reduced debt held by the public by $448 billion.

The combination ($853 billion minus $448 billion) raised total federal debt by $405 billion. During 2002, debt subject to limit increased enough to reach the then current sta… more
