While the U.S. has $trillions in debt it also has $trillions in assets. Many of these are treasury bills purchased with QE money. Essentially, it is holding its own debts. Much else are commercial and mortgage securities. While some of these are not likely to be repaid, most of the securities will be repaid on maturity.
Thank you for sharing this. Not only is it insightful and informative but it is also a pleasure to read- a rare combination in an economic text.
Cheers
