We are hearing that China, Japan and many other countries and banks are selling off USA bonds. Could it be that these countries are seeing that the USA is not safe place to invest money in? With the USA always operating deficits, are they just a PONZI scheme, acting like a government? Has the USA just hit the debt wall?

I thing what is happening is that the other countries are placing a run on the USA federal bank, knowing that their business plan is falling apart..

Does the USA Treasury department realize that at some point in time they have to get other investors to buy their bonds, likely at a higher rate so that they can pay to investors to invest. Paying a higher interest rate may not work as the governments have to show that they can repay the bonds, without doing the PONZI program. Has USA hit the debt wall?

That's not DoT's mandate.

What I see in the financial world is that a lot of countries are cashing in their USA treasuries saying they are not satisfied with USA being a safe place to park their money.
