kelpdiver 2 #202 January 23, 2008 QuoteQuoteThen please kindly ask the "rest of the world" to stop asking for our help! Devils advocate: Do we pay out more or get more from the rest of the world? US public debt to foreign states is $2.31T! VR/Marg I don't think we forced anyone (esp the Chinese of late) to buy treasuries. Anyone can bid and since the US backed dollar remains one of the most stable investments, may did. Obviously the cost of debt financing is reduced by higher demand, but if foreign investors didn't enter the picture, we'd have adjusted. (Perhaps for the better - borrowing less) Answer on your nuclear posts later in the day... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
