How much money does the US Goverment owe in foreign debt? How much will we owe 10 years from now?

Question

Kind of curious on how much debt the US goverment actually owes. I want to know how much debt the US goverment has right now and is planning to have in the furture. The baby boom generation retiring is only going to make matters worse and the rising costs in goods and services due to a declining US dollar is also a contributing factor. It concerns me that the future of American business will no longer be in the hands of Americans but sealed and stamped by those who hold our debts. China is only one country who holds our debts and they are not to blame in my opinion because they didn't force Americans to buy their products and services and they only hold 10% of the overall debt America owes. So my question is how much money do we actually owe and if we owe more money than what is being reported by mainstream media then what is to come? Will we have to start selling states or what is it going take for the goverment to realize its errors?
