Yea, it's been increasing a lot lately, but with all of the banks like they are, foreign companies can now buy controlling amounts of our nations financial infrastructure. That can be disastrous. Imagine at some point in the future we have a disagreement with Japan or any other country that's buying us up? If they have a controlling stake in our economy they can raise rates, refuse loans, cancel commercial lending, etc. You can't go to war with a country that controls your economy.
