That list is embarrassing. Our country doesn't even belong to us anymore.

And they're liberals too which makes it even worse!

I mean its one thing if Exxon, or Blackwater, or Halliburton owned it like they have many of the right wing politicians over the years but liberals!?!!? ewwww

I been telling y'all

The oligarchy owns and operates USA

Even in California, where an oil company wrote the just-passed CA cap-n-trade system, and where BigInsurance just blocked Medicare-for-all-California.

Japan has more than China that's surprising I didn't know that

Other countries own the USA.

Actually thats kinda the point.
Havving a financial stake in the welfare of the safest place to off load your money is quite astounding.
So many countries don't even trust their own institutions to invest their money in safely.
Pretty damn revealing I say.

Im not buying Chinese government bonds anytime soon. And neither is the rest of the world.

Foreign holders of US national debt are a minority of total debt, most of which is held within the USA

iow, America is owned by foreigners is a LIE, always from the rightwing, and/or from the oligarchy that hypes national debt alarmism as justification to cut govt spending, excepting both defense and huge tax cuts for the oligarchy. Tax cuts and tax avoidance/evasion being the greatest drivers of national debt.

There is no country that holds more money from foreigners than we do, it's not even close.
Again, another very important analysis of this says a government, especially a stable democracy, is less likely to default on obligations. This in an absolutely huge advantage to the wealth of this country.

Now if we just had a growing middle class; and somehow could convince money hoarders that in the long run the middle and lower class strength in jobs are beneficial to their goals.

Subjugation through excessive wealth does not end well historically speaking.

The same was true under Obama.
This did not just occur.

Praise Allah!

And for the sake of his own vanity.
Not the country's well being.

The begging was all about him looking awful.
No need to worry about looking awful anymore.
Just go to West Virginia and ask your pep rally if they have seen Russians?
K... WTF? Come again?
