Original Note:
Most US debt is not held by foreign countries, and of that which is, China holds less than 15% (under 4% of all public debt). https://www.pgpf.org/blog/2023/05/the-federal-government-has-borrowed-trillions-but-who-owns-all-that-debt The claim that work requirements are proven to reduce poverty or increase productivity is misleading. Many studies show no benefit or even harm. https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/pol.20200561 https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/abs/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00538?journalCode=hlthaff
