Here is the chart of 'who holds the national debt' as of Feb 2017:

EDIT: You could balance the budget today and run a surplus for 10 years and it wouldn't matter to the debt one bit until we stop selling bonds and start pay them off.
I suggest you start here: Government - Frequently Asked Questions about the Public Debt

EDIT:

Perfect day for you to post that, Don.

They just keep rolling over the debt. They play accounting games. They give the banks money to buy stocks and bonds. The whole financial system is a sham, a scam, a ponzi with those at the top raking in billions.

We have people who look at a deficit of $600 billion a year...but a total debt level going up over $1 trillion a year...And don't realize that there's over $400 billion "missing". It's missing because of accounting tricks. Ever play that math game where you pick a number...do some math to it and it always comes out to be the same number...the government does that trick too.
math trick pick a number it always comes out the same number - Google Search

Nothing but propaganda comes from the "news"...turn it off. You may be UNinformed...but that's better than being MISinformed.

I always felt sharing of information and discussing facts on this forum was the idea.

It appears that the majority of these people DONT KNOW..nor CARE TO KNO what is really going on. Their motivation, it appears, is to treat both this forum and other posters as "subjects" or "toys" to just play around with. Their life apparently is reduced to mocking people who know better than they, and simply preaching hate for other groups.

It is a shame. This forum is not a given right. We are blessed to have it, and those who simply use it to insult, are insulting everyone.
The PROBLEM is half the people who post here are ignorant women who believe what others...people in authority...tell them. Women...don't research. It's one of their flaws. It's more important WHO told them something as opposed to WHAT they're being told. They believe at face value if someone they trust is telling them. For instance, they'd believe the ladies on The View...as opposed to me. Even if they were wrong and I was right.

They come here, screaming and yelling, telling us we're wrong...when they don't have a clue.
