Who is downvoting this?
This is the least provocative post possible.

If you owe the bank $1 million then the bank owns you. If you owe the bank $100 billion then you own the bank
If you also back up the above with the most powerful military machine to ever grace the planet then your national debt is essentially irrelevant.

Why is it no one owes us money but we hand the shite out like candy on Halloween?

Other countries do owe us money.

But everyone keeps saying China owns us and China can bankrupt us whenever they want. How can this be?

Interesting graph, thanks for posting Eli.
I wish it was interactive where it would show you the increase by year for each segment of the pie.

Based on the graph, roughly 2/3 to 3/4 of the debt is to ourselves.
Literally, WE can go deeper in debt to payoff the foreign debt. Like using a cash advance on one credit card to pay another card if need be. Not only that...since we set the rates on the debt issued we can do it at zero interest! (and of course the Dems would tax it still so everyone's happy)

Considering 71% of that is owed to US citizens and institutions, that statement means the US government owns us, despite being built on the theory that we own the government.
Less than ideal.

So the graph has a major error or our debt has gone down a shitload under Trump.

Thanks for posting this. I really never knew who we owed all of our debt to and always heard it was the Chicoms.
This really makes you wonder, who are the individuals and entities that are here in the USA? No wonder there is a deep state.

I'm gonna need a more thorough breakdown of that dark blue category.

I think I know what you're talking about, but I'll let you clarify before I assume.

It’s hyperbole.
China owns a bunch of US treasury bonds, but it can only dump those bonds to a US-approved buyer. So basically China owns low interest IOUs that they can’t do much with.

It’s only 21.5 Billion dollars of debt. What breakdown is needed? Hell, Cali wasted 77B on a railway that will never be.

I assumed right.
It's 21,500 billion, or 21.5 trillion.

It is still the single greatest threat to our stability and long term prosperity. That didn’t magically change under Trump and won’t change under whoever comes next.

We can easily just blow up the Fed, China, and Japan.

You are missing 3 pretty significant zeros
