Public Debts Rise Across Government Units in 1934
An analysis shows total indebtedness nearing 45 billion dollars with the Federal share at about 27 billion. States counties and cities carry the rest, with 1932 figures at roughly 17.6 billion and rising into the mid 1930s as the economy falters. The per capita burden grew from 69.41 in 1912 to 141.27 by 1922, and inflation continues to push obligations upward. As booms faded, municipal defaults increased and the federal deficit widened despite prior debt repayments.

Golden Legion Bible Study Reflections and Numbers Note
Fragmented reading notes blend biblical reflections with stray modern figures about transport. The text cites 2 Chronicles 12 and Abel/Abraham themes, then shifts to a misaligned report mentioning vehicles into Australia and US truck counts for three months.
