US Staatsverschuldung - das Schuldenlimit

In regeImässigen Abständen wurde in der Vergangenheit in den USA das Schuldenlimit der Staatsverschuldung den Gegebenheiten, sprich dem wahren Schuldenstand, angepasst.

Hier ein Überblick:

Schuldenlimit der Staatsverschuldung

 

In den Jahren 1977 - 1983 wurde zwischenzeitlich ein permanentes Limit von 400 Mio. USD festgelegt und jeweils ein temporäres Limit erhöht. Diese Augenwischerei wurde 1983 aufgehoben und ein einheitlicher Begriff fand wieder Verwendung.

In tabellarischer Form finden sich hier die einzelnen Erhöhungen:
