More than half of U.S. debt available for public purchase is held by foreigners, according to the Treasury Department. In December, foreigners owned $2.2 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities out of a total of $4 trillion of privately held U.S. debt. The biggest holders were Japanese, who owned $685 billion of Treasury securities at the end of 2005.

Don't worry Mark. You guy's should be fine for '08 there seems to be a pretty good roster.

'08? , I'm boycotting Citgo now! I'm sure this boycott will be equally as successful as boycotts in the past. We should boycott Cuba too, Fidel is anti-America isn't he? Oh, you mean we have been boycotting Cuba for 40 years? -oops, my bad.

Bush insists outsourcing to India has its benefits

By Jim PuzzangheraMercury News Washington BureauWASHINGTON -

To people in Silicon Valley and around the country concerned about the outsourcing of jobs to India, President Bush on Wednesday offered something to make the practice more palatable.
Pizza.
It's just one of the U.S. products that India's rapidly growing middle class is developing an appetite for, Bush said in a speech to the Asia Society as he prepares for a trip to India and Pakistan next month. While acknowledging the individual trauma of Americans who lose jobs when companies move operations abroad, Bush said India's economic growth is an overall plus for the U.S. economy.
``India's middle class is buying air-conditioners, kitchen appliances and washing machines, and a lot of them from American companies like GE and Whirlpool and Westinghouse. And that means their job base is growing here in the United States. Younger Indians are acquiring a taste for pizzas from Domino's, Pizza Hut,'' Bush said to laughs from the audience at a Washington hotel. ``Today, India's consumers associate American brands with quality and value, and this trade is creating opportunity at home.''

I am not calling for any boycott. I think we would hurt more American business than foriegn interest. I just thought it was interesting that such an out spoken opponent of America would have such a large interest in American business.

Maybe Hillary will win, then she can just ugly the terrorist down. Never mind, that would tear them up too bad and we would be guilty of cruel and unusual punishment. Good luck in '08.
