The process of the government borrowing money is usually done by selling treasury bonds. Treasury bonds are not that much different from any other bond sold by any other entity. Probably the biggest difference is that they are extremely safe. In fact, the 20-year US Treasury bond is the measurement of safety against which all other investment vehicles are measured. Any American can buy treasury bonds. This process is not a single "sale" but rather happens every day
