IMO, "debt" is just double talk to cover up the noise of the $ printing press and prevent focus on
a secondary consequence, INFLATION (and thus rising prices / shrinking value of the dollar).
It's the little counter hidden inside the copy machine. There is no way to return the blank paper
and fused toner while "paying back" and decrementing the total page count number. Meaningless.
Selling a coupon that gives you 10 extra copies for every 100 pages you copy is clever, but the little
counter just counts them all in any case. Meaningless distraction. Look at all those extra pages! lol
Don't worry about that aspect. In fact, stop talking about it.
The use of "our" copier cannot be questioned and all must use it (or an equivalence to its pages).
Competition is not allowed and will be crushed by any and all means necessary (media, political,
unrest/revolution, war, etc.) Other governments can avoid all the death and destruction of war by
agreeing to use only "our" copier and its copies (or an equivalence to its pages). Once an authorized
copy machine is installed, the little counter inside just clicks along. What could be easier?
That's better. The whole world is using it (mostly). Those that won't play are being dealt with...
The dark side of "debt" is the unlimited power to make things happen without regard to consequence.
Possibly because the whole scheme is not voluntary and is enforced by manipulation, lies and coercion,
the balance of all things made possible by this system tends to tilt in the negative / evil direction.
The social disincentives to accept free copies for not working at all or getting paid in ever increasing
numbers of free copies to perform and justify some unnecessary government job hiding or counting
copies will have huge impact on the direction the country takes. Huge. Vote for more free pages!
No worries though, the little counter just keeps ticking the count upward. Long ago there were those who
were concerned the gears might break after adding so many extra mathematical places to the mechanism.
Modern computers offered an alternative to the mechanical counter and any need for blank paper or toner!
Mathematicians are ready to step up and offer scientific notation at some point when the numbers get too
big to fit in a digital computer. Don't worry about it. The penny and nickel coins will disappear long before
it comes to that.
There is no limit, nothing that needs to get paid back or sold. It's just a page count number.
Just keep up the faith, or else... Let's stop talking about it, OK?
