ASSET: Something that you own. For a person, assets can be financial, like money, stocks, bonds, bank accounts, and government securities, or they can be physical things, like cars, boats, houses, clothes, food, and land. The important assets for our economy are the output we have produced and the resources, capital, and natural resources used to produce that output.

Topic: Government Borrowing <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

When government does not collect enough taxes to pay for purchases, it borrows through the financial markets.
  • The federal deficit is borrowing by the federal government to make up the difference between taxes and spending.
  • State and local governments also borrow through financial markets.
  • The green flow leaving the financial markets and entering the government sector is government borrowing.
  • Government sector purchases can be less than taxes, which means government saves to the financial markets.
  • Many state and local governments actually save. State and local saving reduces total government sector borrowing in times of high federal deficits.
