Its conclusion is contained within the faulty premise that excessive spending of fiat currency by governments can create personal obligations for individual persons and corporate associations of individual persons who form companies.

We should not worry about the national debt. Such a “debt” can only exist in the mind, never in tangible ways that involve actual property has been lent to a borrower. Nothing is stolen from a supposed lender if nothing is borrowed. This should be obvious to a child. Such false ideas of metaphysical debts is purely a metaphysical belief (credit-credo) because nothing physical was borrowed! National “debts” cannot lawfully exist as real obligations. This is a swindle. However, it takes at least two to make a swindle!

The fiat currency that is demanded as payment is only used or valued by the people because legal tender “laws” are enforced by the improper use of police powers to support edicts regarding taxation that are demanded to be paid in fiat currency and/or by electronic transfers of the same idea.

More leaders like Gospel pastors and magistrates should declare that money which has no true value cannot be “used” to create true debts. Thus, the national debt may exist in the people’s collective imagination, but not because anything was borrowed by the so-called “debtor” (taxpayer). Such “debts” do not exist a real ethical obligations that are defined by weights and measures or that are subject to the law of God.

It would be a more interesting article if some time was spent with a little humor about how our political leaders are concerned about “over spending” and “paying the national debts”. God laughs at this sort of vanity and foolishness. We should laugh with Him! Ha! Ha! Ha!
