Another point to consider is that the US government may be $20 trillion in debt but it still has a large amount of assets too, though not $20 trillion.

And when you factor in all assets and debt (both public and private), the US has a net worth of over $200 trillion thanks to households, businesses, and local governments.

I have no idea how but I skipped over private/public bonds and I even have a stack of them somewhere.

What are you saying here? What difference does it make to the US, in this context, if Bill Gates or whoever has a $100 billion net worth?
