Explanation of Solution

The US has the nation debt of under $1 trillion until 1980, in these most of it resulting from government deficits during recessions or wars. The wartime debt corresponded to a decrease in investment for peacetime uses, but few would regard this as a true burden. The deficits incurred during recessions probably did not constitute a burden either, because during a slack aggregate demand they did not crowd out investment and encouraged investment. Since 1980, the tax rates decrease to such an extend that even when the economy has been operating at its full employment level. However, 30% of the total national debt is owed to foreign individuals, business and government, 45% is owed to US individuals and companies. Thus, the part of the debt held by foreigners is a burden to US, as US individual have to transfer resources to make the interest payment.
