National Debt Initiative

Joining the public policy discussion around the U.S. national debt, the Travelers Institute is raising awareness about the facts of the national debt and the implications for American opportunity.

As part of our America’s debt crisis initiative, we’ve collaborated with public television to present “Overdraft,” an award-winning nonpartisan documentary that highlights the growing national debt and its impact on individuals and U.S. economic competitiveness.
