Most national debt is held by domesticly, but the chart does specify foreign holders, so it is technically correct to leave that out.

That’s 1.38 trillion out of 10 trillion. Foreign investors own 14% of the debt.

Most of the national debt is. Roughly 70%, and that’s mostly owned by the government, something called intra-governmental debt.

If you’ve ever got a bond from your grandmother for a birthday, you own part of the national debt.

I, for one, do not welcome our new Asian overlords.

How could we have gone from irrational exuberance to being significantly owned by communists? Who spent all we had and sold our country? Out Foxed once is more than enough.

Want us to break one leg on each of the population, or both legs on half?

Well, you do understand that what this really means is that the Russians put some of their money into the very stable U.S. Currency bonds market to stabilize their own economy. Nothing is quite such a sure thing than the U.S. will need to borrow money (and with the exception of last year, never verges on defaulting).
