      You realize that that debt is owned by rich people including him, right?

      He has loads of money, and the taxpayers are giving it to him and his family long after he dies.

          Wealth is about resources and assets. You also don’t need bonds to be rich, and you don’t need treasury bonds to own debt.

          Wtf would an 80 year old want bonds anyways? Unless they are maturing soon.
