National I was staggered, as probably you Debt were, the other day when the morning newspapers blasoned forth in black headline! they should have been printed in red ink that by next June 30 the American government will owe a total of $41,500,000,000. I knew from 11 of the spending that is going on these days that the national debt was going higher in the fiscal year that started with the opening of July; the debt had to increase because of the lavish use of money voted by congress under the lash of President Roosevelt. But when I aw the "revised estimates" officially issued by the bureau of the budget, somehow I was startled, amazed. The implications are so many that the magnitude of this debt simply has overwhelmed me. But there it is. Forty billions and half which Uncle Sam will owe when the spenders get through wasting, chiseling, finding spots where federal loans or new projects or just plain pork barrel distribution of money drain dollars from the fed- New Hampshire .. 160,594,040 New Jersey 1,368,210,640 New Mexico 133,406,860 New York 4,089,141,550 North Carolina ... 1,092,651,410 North Dakota 222,239,390 at eral treasury. After the first impact of this news wore off, I began to look around to see what it means. What does It mean to me, I wondered. And to you?

There are numerous agencies of the government that are empowered to borrow money on their own bonds institutions like the Reconstruction Finance corporation and the Home Owners Loan corporation and the Commodity Credit corporation. It seems to me that when those agencies borrow money, the federal government becomes liable in event the federal agency is not able to pay, and the total of those loans appears to be in the neighborhood of $6,000,000,000. Since most people regard the federal government as having a contingent liability, there is some ground for including that total which would make the grand total of the national debt in excess of $47,000,-000,00- 0, and each states share would be correspondingly higher. going to be paid back to those from whom it was borrowed by Uncle Sam? Everyone knows, of course, that the federal government has wily two ways to get funds by taxation or by borrowing. The fact that borrowed money must be repaid means, of course, that there is only one way by which we can expect the government to obtain funds There must be taxes What is the reason for this giganoodles of .taxes.
