Subject: Re: Chart of who hold US debt
Here's the skinny:
Domestic holders account for $26.4T
International holders account for $7.9T
Yeah, the funny thing is that “domestic holders” includes “intragovernment loans” and “the Fed”, which is basically “one part of the government owes another part of the government money, but it will never be repaid so fuggetaboutit.”
I suppose that’s important, somehow, but I don’t claim to understand it.
