I don’t get it!

 

They’re begging the world for money to rebuild Iraq, yet they have almost $20 billion to invest in US bonds?

 

Why don’t they use their $20 billion to help rebuild their own country and show that they are doing all they can, before asking others?

Let's get to the real, 'Meat of the Matter'

Why are we (America) in so much debt? 

If we (our government) would and could of controlled our spending, we wouldn't be in such a mess. I'm not saying or taking the Left or Right-side. All involved are guilty of squandering the Nation's wealth. Yet, we continue to criticize another nation's buying of our debt? 

What's wrong with us? 

I'm just wondering out loud.

This is cbi foreign reserves. Rather than keep those money in their own vault without earning interest, might as well put it somewhere else and make some money doing it.
