Which is nothing compared to the amount held by US citizens and institutions.
Most of the interest paid on the debt ends up right here in the states and in fact if that debt and interest were to be paid off we would see a huge disruption in th bond market and that would wreak havoc on the retirement accounts and pensions of millions of people
30% of the debt is money the government owes to itself about 6 trillion
The remaining 70% is held by the public 58% of the public debt is held my US interests which includes the Federal Reserve, other banks, investment funds and individuals
Oh, I see.
Massive overspending is GOOD now.
IT'S OKAY WHEN TRUMP DOES IT!â„¢
Cut the shit Asshole.
I never said anything about spending.
I am trying to illustrate how the US debt isn't the millstone around the neck you all think it to be.
Most of the debt is owned by the US government and the US public therefore most of the interest paid is paid to the US government from one agency to another and to the US public
Social Security relies heavily on Treasury bonds if there were no debt there would be no treasury bonds
Wow. Another tard with zero cognition who thinks the debt has nothing to do with spending!
HOLY SHIT!!!
"I never said anything about spending."
If you learned to read , Asswipe, you would see that I said i am in favor of a balanced budget amendment. Are you?
The debt isn't that big of a deal that we have to pay it all off.
As i said and which you obviously didn't understand is that paying it down is desirable but paying ot off isn't for the many reasons I have already given
And in reality one budget from one president isn't the ******* apocalypse
Why are you morons so prone to histrionics?
