Of the foreign holders of US debt, the $38 trillion and counting, Japan, UK, China in that order is whom we owe the most money to as far as foreign investment. According to Forbes $1.1 trillion, $900 billion, and $750 billion.
If you add up the rest of the world, roughly 1/3 of the $38 trillion is held by foreign investors. The rest is domestic investment with 20 percent as entitlements, roughly 13 percent is the US central bank and the remaining is private investment.
With annual DAVOS meeting and all this US imperialism bravado talk I thought I would share this.
My questions would be this...Given these statistics and information, do you still consider the US in good financial shape? If foreign countries got p***ed enough to call in let's say 15 percent of the foreign owned debt, how would we pay it back? What would such a scenario do to US economy?
You have to to think ahead: the same thing is true the other way around. If countries start crashing each other with each others debts, the great depression and WW2 will look like a vacation and a grand tour.
Also the debt is the dollar and the dollar is the debt. With Europe and Asia going into or in an actual war, who's currency would you go into?
Europe can't protect itself without US supplies, Ukraine has shown that. The Phillipines invited the US to reopen bases. The middle east is in turmoil and south America is tied to it to a degree. |
Japan, UK, China...US Debt
