    Every time I see a story about the national debt, I look for information in the article about who is buying the debt. It is vanishingly rare when I see an answer.

    In case anyone is curious, the breakdown for 2025

    For 2026, the answer is harder to find. But there are some interesting shifts in appetite for American debt instruments being driven by the private bond markets.

      What do you mean? He owns a VHS repair store or… well I kind of skip the intros, so maybe now he is a paranormal investigator?
