Take the following as truth: Although foreign asset holdings in the United States have swelled in recent years, not until 1998 did the United States pay more in interest, dividends, and other investment returns to other countries than it received on the assets it held abroad.
Then the following statement: "In recent years, foreign asset holdings in the United States has swelled due to the fact that people became distrustful of the economy." is true, false, or inconclusive?
