Here’s who owns a record $21.21 trillion of U.S. debt

Via Marketwatch

Who owns the huge and growing U.S. national debt? By and large, Americans.

Some 70% of the national debt is owned by domestic government, institutions investors and the Federal Reserve. A shade under 30% is owned by foreign entities, according to the latest information from the U.S. Treasury.

The nation’s debt climbed to a record $21.21 trillion at the end of June, a 6.9% increase from a year earlier.

American institutions such as private and state pension funds as well as individual investors were the biggest holders. They owned $6.89 trillion in debt and absorbed about four-fifths of the increase over the past year.

Foreigners, led by the Chinese and Japanese, owned $6.21 trillion. Those two countries have cut their stakes since 2015, but each country still owns more than $1 trillion worth of Treasury bonds and notes.

The Chinese government or Chinese investors likely own even more U.S. debt purchased through entities in other countries such as Hong Kong, Luxembourg or the Cayman Islands, all of which are havens for tax shelters.

Notably, Russia has slashed its Treasury holdings to a mere $15 billion from a peak of $153 billion in mid-2013 amid worsening tensions with the U.S.

So far there’s little evidence that other countries will follow suit to strike back at the U.S. amid ongoing trade disputes. Many need or want Treasury bonds and notes as a safe place to park their savings.

The U.S. government, for its part, owned $5.73 trillion in debt, mostly via Social Security and federal pension funds.

The Federal Reserve owned $2.38 trillion in debt, but it trimmed its holdings by $85 billion since June 2017. The Fed last year began to partly sell off the vast hoard of Treasurys it snapped up to lower interest rates and flood the economy with cash during and immediately after the Great Recession.

Funny money Jew-bucks.

What a bunch of goddamn NONSENSE. The Counterfeiting is in excess of 1200 Trillions in bogus, intentionally mislabeled, “Federal Reserve” debts… These are COUNTERFEIT FUNDS!

These Counterfeit, intentionally mislabeled Monopoly Money “Dollars” are NOT American Money! They are Counterfeit! Ipso-Facto FRAUDULENT. The Constitution protects against imposters in the US Treasury COUNTERFEITING AMERICAN MONEY.. . 186.

These COUNTERFEIT “debts” are the bankers’ problem. They are not America’s problem. 186. The phony Monopoly Money is being hidden in off-shore “Bucket Shop” gambling parlors. The goddamn criminal banking imposters have a gambling problem and they have ruined THEMSELVES! NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

The “Bucket Shops” are laundering terror and drug money and using false claims on American Real Estate to act as the DETERGENT. This phony nonsense is counterfeiting and forgery and it is collecting on fraudulent pools of American “Mortgages”— COUNTERFEIT AMERICAN SECURITIES: CALLED MBS-“MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES”.

Counterfeiting American Money and Counterfeiting American Securities is against the goddamn Law. The Constitution forbids it.

Show me any contract that says (we) signed on to OWN that debt. Not my debt.

They need to prove our ownership.

IndenturedServant

Well, we all voted for those that ran the debt up in our names.

This is why EVERY LAW should REQUIRE a built in 20 year sunset clause that requires the entire law be brought up for debate and a full vote to be made to renew it.

We vote for puppets. They bow and scrape and are owned by Rothschild banks/central bank. We never get a choice other than bankster puppet (1) or bankster puppet (2). So NO we don’t own the debt foisted upon us in ANY WAY.

IndenturedServant

You still voted for them. Tacit approval. Had you not voted for them then MAYBE an argument could be made. Debt is still there. You, your children and grandchildren are servicing the debt. Why pay something that is not yours to pay? Did you use a millimeter of road paved by govt debt? Ding! —–> Use constitutes acceptance in court. (yes I understand UCC and Admiralty Law that goes back at least as far as the Phonecians)

What else ya got?

I/S- You KNOW I didn’t vote and I KNOW you didn’t vote so No BLAME should fall on us . We iz not responsible.

True but we’ve both voted in the past. Besides, their are no “outs” for crazies like us. You know that.

I know that I didn’t vote for ANY OF THEM!!!!! NOBODY has MY tacit support or approval. What you have done is something YOU need to live with.

Do you drive on roads funded by federal debt? Use = acceptance. Laws have all kinds of traps. Welcome to machine!

Why 20? Why not 2 (that is how long a member of the House is in office)?

So that at minimum, each generation has an opportunity to make laws they want to live by. Just think of it, the millenials would have already outlawed income tax and SS/medicaid tax if they had the opportunity. They’d be hero’s! How cool would that be?

BS Dawg, They can’t lock us all up, I’m not paying shit. I’m so poor I can’t even PAY attention.

IndenturedServant

You’re already locked up in a prison without bars. That’s what expanded and replaced the “slavery” that was supposedly ended with the civil war. Now you can choose where to live, work, be educated etc thinking you’re free when you’re really enslaved. Much cheaper for the masters too not having to chain us and lock us up every morning and night.

Slavery…….now for white people too since 1865!

Don’t know if anyone listened to Rush today but callers are speaking up about arming up and taking it to the streets if anything happens to Trump. It’s not Trump per say; just the fact that the deep state thinks they can overthrow a duly elected presidential administration. Trump needs to clean house, take names and kick the asses of all these treasonous sonsabitches. I believe the people have his back. Remember we’re talking Rush Limbaugh here not Alex Jones. Rush is about as Main Street as it gets and if people are calling in and talking about this kind of shit on his show you know it’s serious. Deadly serious.

Per Se. I be ignorant sometimes.

WTF- Would you die for Trump? Honest answer.

whiskey tango foxtrot

Not for him. But I would for my wife, my grandson and my father (82nd Airborne, WWII) and my gg grandfather (17th Va. Infantry, CSA). Yes sir. I surely would. And it looks like that’s a more plausible ending for me every day. I’ve had a remarkable life and I can leave it any day on good terms. I owe.

BL

Well, I have never had a soul say they would die for the actor Trump. The end of any theatrical puppet is NOT an affront to your wife, father etc., etc.

Should an invading horde parachute into our borders, fight like hell. Until then, Rush Limbaugh and his ilk can stick a sock in it.

whiskey tango foxtrot

Go fuck yourself Ball Licker. 🙂
Whether native born or foreign, you are the native horde.
You’ve no semblance of what it is to be American.
If “native” you’ve turned your back on your ancestors and you need to be extinguished.

Well thanks and fuck you very much too WTF. 🙂

Lest I be mistaken and have unduly hoisted you, why do you refer to “Limbaugh and his ilk”? You think him Unamerican? I despise pseudo Americans as much as anyone else. What am I missing with Rush? I’m a man of reason. If you convince me of your point, I’ll apologize with sincerity.

I’m going out on a limb here Tango, guess you are also one of those “fair and balanced” Faux News devotees along with the daily C/O Rush installment?

Michael Keane

LOL: All of the Above. IT IS NOT America’s DEBT. The Constitution forbids Counterfeiting. The goddamn criminal banks have Counterfeit US Currency (bonds, bills and notes). The goddamn criminal bankers Counterfeit 1200 Trillion in “Mortgage-Backed Securities”.

Nothing “faux” about me brother. VN ’70-’71. It’s all good. It’s alright. It’s all bullshit. God Bless America/

Who owns the national debt? We the sheople both own and owe the national debt. Yaayyy!

Indent Service ,you damn fool .That ” money ” that” debt” never existed , never has and never will . It’s all computer numbers and that’s a fact Jack but …..In 1938 the US government declared bankruptcy and FDR then put up the who country and all its resources as a guarantee on all forseeable debt.

Michael Keane

BB is correct. Everybody else is Co-Rectal. BB : In 1871, the US was placed in “bankruptcy” by criminal European goddamn banking Filth. So… Since these European Filth and the Filth in DC allowed it… it is simply Fraud and it remains fraud with Zero statute of limitations because it is concealed. FDR didn’t “bankrupt” anything. In 1871 all the nonsense pre-empts what comes after. In 1871, DC Filth placed the US a “Corporate-Indenture” to the City of London. The US should turn England into a mystery… yesterday.

Yes. I am in agreement. The danger with this stuff and trying to relate it in a neutral way, always runs headlong into religion. The Jews are always scapegoated in this dialogue, as a best example. The enemy are simply criminal bankers. The narrative should stay focused there. The Jesuits are usurious and the Zionists are usurious. OK, big deal- who cares? The point is: criminals, whether posing as Jews, or posing as Christians, have secretly co-opted what Americans believe is “US Currency”… It is NOT “US Currency”. Once these usurious criminal banking Filth began Counterfeiting “Currency” in “America’s” name, they are finished. The Constitution forbids Counterfeiting. The US Constitution- 1 8 6, forbids Counterfeit “US” money (bonds, bills and notes). The US Constitution forbids Counterfeit “US” “securities” (American Mortgages); once the criminal banking Filth took “mortgages” and made them: “securities” and then counterfeit those securities = Game Over. 1 8 6… So, here is the POINT: American Mortgages were fraudulently and surreptitiously robbed. The paper was taken and turned into bets on Wall Street. The “Bets” are gambled on groups of American “Mortgages”. Those “Mortgages” are “pooled” together into a “REMIC Trust”. The “REMIC Trust” is now what is called: “A Mortgage-Backed Security”. Once the ‘Mortgages” are “pooled” in this way, criminal banking Filth then “Counterfeit” ownership to the American Homes in the REMIC Trust. The Constitution forbids Counterfeiting “Mortgage-Backed Securities- MBS”. = 1 8 6 = “Game Over”. For the first time in millennia, the criminal banking Filth have their collective ass hanging in the breeze. The American People are in a unique position to now return centuries of abuse by “foreclosing” and seizing the “Assets” these banking Filth “own”. They used our well-being to create their poison; they used “our” “Money” to commit FRAUD. MORONS WILL DEFEND THEIR CRIMINAL NONSENSE. It is past time these Filth were launched into prison-for forever.

We should simply REPUDIATE the entire debt. Yes, that would piss plenty of people off, and nobody would ever be stupid enough to ever lend the US government money again…..but please tell me what the downside of that would be. Our government would finally be forced to live within its means, spending would have to be paid for NOW, not later, and budgeting would finally be forced into the open with some semblance of accountability. It has been suggested for many decades now….but of course the usual suspects, globalist puppetmasters, Jewish banking cartels, etc. would NEVER allow such a move.

Michael Keane

OK. Stop. It is not US “debt”. It is COUNTERFEIT.
