Notes: Reported gross/net debt reflect the gross liabilities and net worth (respectively) of the general government, using the Federal Reserve Flow-of-Funds measure of financial assets and liabilities. The definition of liabilities is taken as:
State and local liabilities and
Federal government liabilities
less:
State and local holdings of Treasury securities and
State and local debt to the federal government
(the last two are to prevent double counting).
The federal government liabilities in the Flow of Funds exclude the debt held by government trust funds (Social Security, Medicare, and other), and they include pension fund and life insurance reserves as liabilities.
