The "external debt" as opposed to "public debt" is newly available on http://www.usdebtclock.org/by going to the right margin, and at the top clicking "External". They show the US national external debt at 94.37% of GDP. The default view is "public debt" showing only 60.88% of GDP. Let's not fool ourselves that the lower figure is a fair gauge national finances.
