The U.S. government borrows money from citizens primarily through the issuance of U.S. Treasury securities, such as Treasury bonds, notes, and bills. When citizens purchase these securities, they are essentially lending money to the government in exchange for interest payments and the return of the principal at maturity. This process allows the government to fund various programs and initiatives while providing investors a relatively safe investment option. Additionally, citizens can also invest in government-backed savings bonds, which serve a similar purpose.
