To find the increase in the national debt over 50 years, we subtract the debt in 1971 from the debt in 2021:
\$ 2.9617 * 10 ^ 13 - \$ 3.98 * 10 ^ 11 = \$ (29.617 - 0.398) * 10 ^ 12 = \$ 29.219 * 10 ^ 12 = \$ 2.9219 * 10 ^ 13
Therefore, the increase in the debt over the 50-year period is \$ 2.9219 * 10 ^ 13.
\$ 2.9617 * 10 ^ 13 - \$ 3.98 * 10 ^ 11 = \$ (29.617 - 0.398) * 10 ^ 12 = \$ 29.219 * 10 ^ 12 = \$ 2.9219 * 10 ^ 13
Therefore, the increase in the debt over the 50-year period is \$ 2.9219 * 10 ^ 13.
