- National Debt The size of the total debt owed by the UnitedStates federal government continues to grow. In fact,according to the Department of the Treasury, the debt perperson living in the United States is approximately $53,000(or over $140,000 per U.S. household). The following datarepresent the U.S. debt for the years 2001–2014. Since thedebt D depends on the year y, and each input correspondsto exactly one output, the debt is a function of the year. SoD1y2 represents the debt for each year y.
