Here is roughly how the National Debt is broken down. Roughly because it changes over time.
A percentage of debt.
U.S. individuals and institutions 30.4%
U.S. Social Security Trust Fund 16.7%
U.S. Federal Reserve 10.8%
U.S. Federal Services Retirement Fund 5.6%
U.S. Military Retirement Fund 2.4%
China and Hong Kong 8.1%
Japan 7.0%
Oil Exporters 1.7%
Brazil 1.6%
UK 0.9%
All other nations 14.8%
As you can see, U.S. individuals and institutions own 30%, government agencies own over 35%. Out of that $17 trillion debt, we owe ourselves over 65%. Which part of that debt do you think they would abolish if they had the chance? Think they'd hurt their oil exporting buddies? How about the overseas sweat shops who manufacture your clothing these days? No, my guess is they'd abolish the Social Security System, Federal Retirement accounts, and pat themselves on the back for a job well done.
