Federal Debt Assignment

So today we are going to investigate the history and current status of our national debt.  Since government relies heavily on taxes to run, I decided to throw this activity in with our chapter on taxes.

Clicking on the following link to my website will lead you to the assignment.

  Below I have included an updated link that will help you more easily find the information needed for the assignment

http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/pd.htm

You will need to use the link to "Historical Debt Outstanding" at some point in the assignment.

When you are done you will end up with 3 graphs and a list of 10 things you did not know.
