If the USA is multiple trillions in debt, then to whom do they owe it? Who are the creditors? They must be very rich and powerful by now!

Owned by China. Soon to be deflating $$$$. China needs to order us products whilst the $$$$ still has life

What does America have that China wants to buy?

Expand full comment

I believe the majority of American debt is held by Communist China. Shudder!

Expand full comment

Does this mean that the Chinese Government does not have a National Debt but a National Credit?

Expand full comment

Not necessarily. The US portion of China's account does not comprise their total Debit/Credit balance. With us, the Balance of Trade is the main thing, which of course is hugely in their favor since "they make the stuff we buy, and don't buy the stuff we make!" (Credit for quote: Bill Bonner!)

Got my money back from GoFundMe (never to use it again, you are spot on) and sent it right back to the truckers via GiveSendGo

It's nice to know Woke companies are feeling the hit from John Q Public. It restores my faith that some folks are using their heads for more than a hat rack.

would be great to get your and Bill's comments on NYT article today on Modern Monetary Theory. They are rushing to define the narrative that printing trillions had nothing to do with inflation. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

LOL! Did ya also notice the missing "s" from "just desserts"? (I didn't know the phrase referred to arid landscapes.) (Just kidding, guys. It's not important!)

Haha, I didn't know it referred to cakes and sweets! (Actually had to look this one up... https://www.dictionary.com/e/just-deserts-vs-just-desserts/

"Both 'deserve' and this 'desert' come from the French 'deservir,' meaning 'to deserve,' in turn from a Latin verb that also gives us 'serve' and, well, 'deserve.'"

Looks like the single 's' is the way to go... unless you're talking about just (only) desserts ;-)

Wonderful Joel. Thanks you for voicing your thoughts and clear common sense position for the "Great white North"erners. The common man obviously has more sense than the "Elites". However it is becoming very clear that the Elites are not "going for" common sense, are they? They have an agenda and they don't need common sense anymore and they do not take kindly to opposition.

It's also a blessed thing that we can even get information that is "less-biased" in todays world even if the likes of some of your readers still think that any news outlet that has not been playing on the TV for 40-50 years is putting forward "numerous conspiracy theories that are based on imagination" I guess "imagination" has become reality. Unless your eyes continue to remain closed and buried in the "sand".

No one in authority. In the uk or the us, seems to have enough backbone, to order a cease and desist to the Feds. We have a worldwide 300trillion of debt underpinned by 100 trillion of gdp

Yet, just as the band on the deck of the Titanic. The show must go on.

A curse to all finance ministers. Especially, the uk usa and ecb
