...Federal reserve and it's employees? Did the US government borrow money from the Chinese ?
Nope so who did ?

So who owes them the money ?
The fed does
Who is legally allowed to print money in the US ?
Congress
Did Congress borrow moneny from the Chinese -- Nope they borrowed it from the Fed which is fine but what they borrowed was paper not legal tender because the fed can't print legal tender
So who owes the Chinese and all those other nations ? It couldn't be the US government since the US government did not issue the loans
So -- who owes ?
Ben Bernake and the fed
So when Lindsey Williams says China owns the US -- Shouldn't he say China owns the borrower which would be Bernake and his staff ?
