Thanks! (But that doesn't exactly address the question... which was about FOREIGN SOVEREIGN holdings, not about the amount that the US gov. holds of it's own debt....) It does address the question, if not with 100% confidence. If you ask "does it exclude X", and I say "it excludes Y but nothing else", than I am saying it DOES include X. But I'd contend that nothing yet presented has established outlier 'bad externalities' in this recent period, at least, not greater then the NORM. It seems quite obvious to me that they are. Are you asserting they are not? (note I'm saying "greater", not something like "incredibly greater", or "the worst of all time" or anything like that) It still REMAINS a fact that ALL THREE ECONOMIC TEAMS came to exactly this conclusion They have little basis to come to such a conclusion, unless they are defining harm, only has harm to the fiscal position of the US government. My statement was about the country in general, which extends beyond just the deficit or debt levels of the government.
