Much Of It Owned by CHINA
anyone else seeing the scary Crossroads ad, where the lady says most of our debt is "owned by CHINA"

Is this Obama's fault too?

Hey lady, the GOP shipped most of our manufacturing jobs to CHINA!

1. China holds 7%
Not exactly the definition of "much of it".
But honesty in a Crossroads ad would be too much to expect.

6. Actually, no, we don't.
We have no need to borrow from China or any other country. We have no need to borrow at all.

5. Most of our debt is money we owe ouselves.
About 4.5 trillion of our debt is held by foreign holders.
