On: The $1.4 Trillion Question (What will China do with their massive US dollar holdings?)

Why do you disagree with that statement? If China has lent $1.4 trillion to the US Government (by buying US Treasury Notes), then if you divide it out on a per capita basis, that works out to roughly $4000 per US citizen.

You mean China _LENT_ $1.4 trillion to the US Government (by buying US Treasury Notes).

Oops. Thanks for catching this. Maybe I shouldn't debate late at night...

(I fixed my post above so that it actually says the point I was trying to make, rather than the opposite.)
