19. Why Foreign Entities Own More and More of our Nation
It's not just Saudi Arabia, but China, India, Japan, the UK.

This is what happens when you become the largest debtor nation in the world, and your currency is turning into shit.

What are these countries supposed to do with the enormous cache of U.S. dollars they hold? Naturally, they buy pieces of America. They invest or acquire corporations outright.

This is what happens when a nation goes into debt. We are bankrupt, folks. We have gone from being the world's greatest creditor to the world's most pathetic debtor. This is why it is necessary to sell off so much of our country.
