So what. 70% is owed to the average tax payer. They're the reserve currency and as soon as demand picks up they'll get some inflation and revenue and no one will care anymore.

>>8099544 It's even better than that, since the interest rate on federal bonds was much higher in the '80s than it is now. Interest/GDP today is about half what it was twenty years ago, it's really amazing.

>>8099657 Fun fact: Even though Canada's debt is shrinking in absolute terms, and is lower than the US's as a percentage of GDP, they still pay a higher interest rate!

>>8099705 >i didn't know we were that much in debts! In debt-to-GDP terms, you're worse off than America :P Essentially every large western government is in debt. Which right now isn't really as bad as people think. Interest rates are so damn low right now that the money is almost free. Governments are not households, and people need to stop reasoning by analogy from their own personal finances to their governments.

>>8099725 >that bankrupt debtors possessions are taken Which is mostly true when it comes to individuals. But that's what /happens/ in bankruptcy, not what bankruptcy is... If a country's treasuries are denominated in their own currency, it's essentially impossible for them to go bankrupt.

>>8099779 If interest rates were higher than tax revenue? That would be insolvency, definitely, though even ten a country with its own currency could just print the money. Inflation would have its own costs but bankruptcy would still be very avoidable.

46 min later 8099809 Anonymous
>>8099779 >Isn't the state effectively insolvent? Not really. Their interest payments and bonds are denominated in dollar terms, so in theory the country can just print money. And anyway, I cannot imagine how large the US debt would have to be to get to this point. Even then, in terms of taxation they're like 40%-points below the Laffer maximum, so they've got a lot of wiggle room. This doesn't work for Greece, who can't print Euro, or third-world countries whose debts are fixed in USD.

>>8099861 Then they default on their repayments. Thing is, with the way the modern system works, this very rarely happens in an uncontrolled way. If it happened to a small country, the likely option is the bond-holders taking a hair-cut, and the IMF and other relevant local IGOs stepping in to lend the country money. This is what's happened to Greece. Hypothetically if this happened to the US... I have no honest to God idea what would happen. And I suspect anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
