- FYI: Federal deficit, debt not the same. Q:What is the difference between the national debt and the national deficit? A: About $7 trillion. The national deficit, currently a record $413 billion, is the difference between what the government takes in and what it spends each budget year. The national debt, which looms at $7.4 trillion, is the accumulation of all these year-by-year deficits and other money the public owes. That's one big Visa bill. Like anything bought on credit, the government must pay interest on these debts. This year, it spent $322 billion in interest on the federal debt - the third largest expense in the federal budget. Congress limits how much the government can borrow, but in a bill passed last month, it raised the debt ceiling from $7.34 trillion to $8.18 trillion - an $800 billion increase necessary to keep the country running for the next year.
