Re: economy - Debt - or is it really?

No matter how you slice it the money is owed and the interest is very real
and if you don't fall into the group of recipients you aren't owed anything.
To suggest that this debt is no big deal is very wrong. You can't make true
wealth out of nothing it must be produced. When a debt gets too large,
producers will not produce  and provide something unless there is a
compensating value to pay for it with. Just as when your credit card is over
the limit, noone will do business with you.
