NPP In Action

"As the national organizer for two US tours of Iraqi trade unionists, I ensured that local organizers had the resources needed to make these events a success. NPP's fact sheets were by far one of the most useful tools we provided. Organizers across the country appreciated how these sheets brought the issue of the war home."

- Thomas Bacon, National Organizer

Federal Debt, 1940-2008 (in $2007)

The following chart shows the public debt (in 2007 dollars) from 1940 through the estimated 2008.
The debt rose rapidly during the 1980s due to large federal deficits. The rise slowed dramatically in the 1990s and the debt even began to decline at the end of the decade. The debt sharply rose after 2001 due again to large deficits.
