Current-Account Balance, Fourth Quarter The U.S. current-account deficit decreased to $112.4 billion (preliminary) in the fourth quarter of 2016 from $116.0 billion (revised) in the third quarter of 2016, according to statistics released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).
As of December 15, 2015, the U.S. is $18.8 trillion in debt. The national debt - aka the federal debt - is the total of all the past years' budget deficits, minus what the government has paid off with budget surpluses. Deficits are common: in the last half century, the federal government has run a deficit in 45 out of 50 years.
