Congressional Budget office(CBO) estimates that the budget deficit of the fiscal year 2011  is about $1.3 trillion. The deficit for 2012 was to improve little(around $1.1 trillion). The deficit for 2013 was $680 billion. Finally the deficit reduced to $483 billion for 2014. The federal budget deficit of 2015 was $439 billion. The federal budget deficit of 2016 was $534 billion. The federal budget deficit of 2017 was $668 billion.

Q4) To finance current budget deficit, US government relies on T bond sales. The significant portion(over 30%) of T bonds are purchased by foreign governments or capitalists(lately China). What is your opinion about relying on foreign debt to finance US budget deficit? If some foreign countries became unhappy about trade or political matter with US government ( of the new president, Trump) or due to lack of confidence over US T Bond and decided to cash out (sell) US T bonds they are holding, what economic consequence do you expect to be occurred?
