Debt. The net deficit represents a potential addition to the National debt now approaching $37,000,000,000. Thanks to the fact that the Government will buy more than $1,000,000,000 worth of its own bonds for special investment accounts, largely in connection with pension and social security measures, the Treasury will not have to resort to public financing.
