Baucus up. 96% of debt purchased from Dec 2004 through Dec 2005 has been by foreigners. Foreigners get the interest payments. Interesting discussion, international finance. Plenty of "spooky stuff" for both sides to use - keeping the people in fear of one thing or another ;-)

"Dependant on foreign capital ..." and he segues into the Dubai deal, as well as holding China away from certain investment.

Notes that the debt has increased during the last 6 years. Same old stuff, IMO. But since it's such a dry and esoteric subject, it won't even make for a good flame war. /sigh/
