I try to stay outta these political conversations, mostly due to my lack of "current events" knowledge, but with the healthcare reform bill coming down the pike I HAVE to watch now. My question, and yes its a "loaded one", to you all is, do any of you know how much of our national debt is held by other countries and who they are? Last time I looked, which was admittedly quite some time ago, our the Japaneese owned something like 15% of our debt and other countries owned not only large amounts of our debt, but an astonishing amount of our LAND too!!!
I was just wondering if anyone on here who follows that kind of stuff could update me on how "bad" it is now though. Thanks and GREAT letter Grump. What upset me the most in reading your posts is the president did not take the time to respond to a man who not only voices valid opinions, but fought to protect these rights (like many others on here) that he is trying to take away!!! Then again that's what "the people" get for allowing a man who can't REALLY prove his birth certificate is valid to be president, just hope they put this off till we can get rid of him.
