No, Sacramento is 10% and declining due to mass immigration and Texas dumping their Mexicans onto us.

>‘Funds were squandered irresponsibly.’ The Olympic Games cost Greece nearly €9 billion ($11 billion at the current exchange rate), double the original budget. This figure does not include large infrastructure projects completed at the last minute and at inflated costs.

>Americans actually own 55% of U.S. debt, while the Federal Reserve and the Social Security Administration, along with other U.S. agencies, own 13% and 7%, respectively, according to Reuters.
You wish. What do you think that would happen if they don't pay it up?

You have a cargo cult mentality. They own their own debt.

Inflation eats all the debt cost each year, the debt cost is "rolling" and as long as there's enough inflation and the interests are low enough you're indebting yourself at negative cost

Exactly. No one would borrow more money to it.

In a manner of speaking, yes. It's why shrinkflation is happening which leads to small to medium events causing trends that cause sectors to fluctuate only stabilized by government action which leads to a loss of efficiency given how all the different branches and levels of the government need to cooperate in order to fix a problem and the chance for otherworldly corruption to occur because the government is trying to regulate a free market.
