What is the national debt? National debt is how much money the nation owes to states, foreign countries, and any other “creditors who hold US debt instruments” (National Debt vs. National Deficit). The national debt is different from the national deficit, or budget deficit, which is the difference between the amount of money the United States makes and how much it spends on a yearly basis. The budget deficit makes up a significant portion of the national debt .
In general, an increase in government spending and decrease in the collection of government taxes and other receipts, increases the debt held by the local government. Government taxes and receipts fluctuate annually, and are frequently less than government spending. In the past, the U.S. public debt has increased for the duration of wars and recessions. When the government consumes more than what it accumulates in taxes, there is a budget deficit and the government then borrows from the private sector or from foreign governments to protect their spending. The compilation of historical borrowing is what materializes the government debt.

The most frequently perceived theme in the novel The Lord of the Flies is civilization to savagery. The theme progresses chronologically with the boys being civilized and proper in the beginning and completely savage by the conclusion. They begin the transition when Jack creates his new tribe, show more of it when he amasses every boy on the island, and conclude when the tribe makes a gruesome attempt to kill Ralph. This theme is seen continuously throughout the entire novel and serves as a not only supporting structure, but also as a building structure for the storyline.

When reading a novel or watching a play, most people are deceived into believing that the plot is the most important element. Many people believe that the characters, setting, and situations simply exist to develop the plot. It can be argued, however, that the theme is the most important aspect of a given work, and that the plot exists merely to solidify the underlying messages that the author actually intends to communicate.

In William Golding 's Lord Of The Flies numerous themes are presented to give us readers something to think about. Despite the fact that the group of boys stranded on the island got saved at the end of the novel, Golding 's main theme is that there is no hope for mankind, and that evil is an inborn trait of mankind.
