I scary part, the part that adds insult to injury is the fact approximately 47% of the debt held by the public.


We own it twice. That does not include what some of our pension funds (those of us lucky enough to have a pension) own the national debt.

Some of us own it three times.

Operates much like your local bank. You pay off a note, the immediately lend the money to someone else. You redeem a treasury note, they pay you off and issue another that someone else or maybe even you may buy. Just different yield and maturity. Nothing but electronic transactions.
