A lot of countries owe the United States money. Lol.

And no one ever talks about the entire balance sheet. What is that $21T as a percent of assets? What is our equity position? They just throw that large debt out there to scare people.

The deficit is the real problem. It is fine to run a deficit some of the time, but we run one all the time. That will cause problems down the road if not reigned in.
