Isn't most of the US debt also financed by its own citizens?
- cma 15y agoYes, about 70% of it.
- joezydeco 15y agoReally? http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Globe_Graphic/2011/07/31/31debtlimit_graphic1A__1312092683_2361.gif http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/Globe_Graphic/2011/07/31/... [EDIT] Sorry, read the original statement wrong. I was thinking the parent said 70% was held foreign, not vice-versa.
- nknight 15y agoYes, really. Did you actually add the numbers up? The non-foreign components are nearly 70%.
