Hello everyone,

I found this article and had to share it. If it is in the wrong forum please move it to the right one. Thank you.



1. Federal Reserve and Intragovernmental Holdings

U.S. debt holdings: $6.328 trillion That’s right, the biggest single holder of U.S. government debt is the Federal Reserve system. The Fed's system of banks and other U.S. intragovernmental holdings accounted for a stunning $6.328 trillion in U.S. Treasury debt in Spetember 2011 (the most recent number available). The amount is an all-time high as the Federal Reserve continues to expand its balance sheet, partially to purchase U.S. government debt securities. About a decade ago, the total government holdings were "only" $2.5 trillion.


If anyone knows how the Federal Reserve works then they would understand how unbelievable this actually is. They are not in any way shape or form "Federal" meaning its not owned by the government. Its privately owned by a hand full of trillionaires. They were formed to make our economy more stable and grow over the years. But what has happened is completely different. Now our economy is ran by them, the interest rates are controlled and manipulated by them at will for their own benefit, they even have the banks in their pocket through controlling the interest rates and controlling which bank gets what loan at what cost if the bank is in needed of money.

The Federal Reserve is by far our biggest threat to our economy. How can we owe someone over 6 trillion dollars that was supposed to be there to make our economy better and help us prosper. The Federal Reserve as far as I am concerned has 2 options, to make things fair.

#1
Eliminate all debt that the USA owes to the FED as well as rewrite how the FED is able to do business.

OR

#2
Eliminate the FED completely (ALONG WITH OUR DEBT) because we were better off without them when they did not exist.


2. China

U.S. debt holdings: $1.132 trillion The largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasury securities, China currently has $1.132 trillion in American debt, although it is down from all time highs of $1.173 trillion in July 2011.



My guess was China or Japan to begin with,(holding most of the US debt) but they are around 1 trillion each.


3. Other Investors/Savings Bonds

U.S. debt holdings $1.107 trillion With the most recent numbers from June 2011, this extremely diverse group includes individuals, government-sponsored enterprises, brokers and dealers, bank personal trusts, estates, savings bonds, corporate and noncorporate businesses for a total of $1.107 trillion. Although the level of debt held in U.S. savings bonds has remained basically constant since 2000, the broad category of "other" investors has nearly quadrupled since reaching a four-year low in December 2007.

it's not news at all actually unless you've been living under a rock for the last decade or more


You'd be surprised at how many people don't understand this. I tried educating my husband on this back about a year ago but he brushed me away like I didn't know what I was talking about. About 3 months ago, he read an article somewhere that lead him to more research and he came to me and said, "Hey, did you know about how the Federal Reserve works? It's crazy! Why are we allowing this to happen?" I'd like to have slapped him. He's a smart guy but he's one to take all his worldly information and news off of MSNBC and the likes.

Alot of people already knew this...because when america needs money they get a loan from the federal reserve or china then interests builds up. So we owe more than we borrowed basically.
