The above PDF your referenced ( page 23 & 25 taken together ) also shows the dollar value maturing that year as well as the percentage, the calculated Public debt for that year matches other sources if you bother to check:vincecate wrote: This PDF ( page 25 ) shows that 40% was under 1 year in 2008.

The 2.2 Trillion ( 40% of 5.4 Trillion ) has nothing to do with your 50% of 16 Trillion number.
Both these two linked Treasury Department Reports:vincecate wrote: My understanding has been that people are moving toward the shorter term since then.

and what I have been reading in places like the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg have indicated exactly the opposite has been, and is continuing, to go on. Long term T-Notes are being sold, and have been sold, in place of T Bills and in place of shorter term T-Notes, by the Treasury to extend the weighted average maturity. That remains the plan for the future. There is tons of detail in these two reports on exactly what is being sold each year over the past years, but I will leave that for you to dig out.
As I described in my previous post:vincecate wrote: I would really like to know the maturity info for debt ... ( held in ) Social Security.

Maturity dates on the The Intra-Government debt ( non-marketable debt, AKA IOUs ) have little meaning. Because instead of refinancing them on the Public Debt Market ( or borrowing from Foreign Countries ) the U.S. Treasury just issues replacement, non-marketable, IOUS with maturaty dates farther in the future. Only when Social Security actually starts cashing in those IOUs with the Treasury because it needs more money than just the interest on The Trillions in IOUs it already holds will that have any impact, and the amount of any such cash in will remain insignificant until some time after 2020.
The FED is just one of the holders of Marketable Public Debt, the U.S. government debt it is holding is already included in the numbers above, and in the two Treasury Reports linked above. You can dig this information out for yourself if you are interested in getting the correct information for your FAQ.vincecate wrote:The Fed has been buying the long term and seems to own a good fraction of the long term at this point.
