How much debt does China have? No one knows exactly! Everybody knows that the US is the world’s biggest borrower, owing a massive amount of money to China, which holds $1.15 trillion in bonds issued by Uncle Sam. With more than $16.2 trillion in debt — including the money the US owes to itself to pay for programs like Social Security — the US debt-to-GDP ratio is around 100%. (Not counting so-called intragovernmental holdings of debt, the ratio is more like 68%, according to the Government Accountability Office.)

Debt Limit Debt Limit. The debt limit is the total amount of money that the United States government is authorized to borrow to meet its existing legal obligations, including Social Security and Medicare benefits, military salaries, interest on the national debt, tax refunds, and other payments. The debt limit does not authorize new spending commitments. It simply allows the government to finance existing legal obligations that Congresses and presidents of both parties have made in the past. Failing to increase the debt limit would have catastrophic economic consequences. It would cause the government to default on its legal obligations – an unprecedented event in American history.
