It depends on how you define ‘debt’. Everybody owes this month’s utility bill, for the gas and electricity they have already used. Even those who pay their CC bill in full every month still usually have some sort of balance that has not yet been billed.
I read the article, and they don’t define “debt”. But as Code Toad correctly points out, we all owe money, much of it spent on things we didn’t and don’t approve of.
And that varies. Many leftists think every cent spent on the Military is a waste, and I think every cent spent on the NEA, EPA, PBS, NPR, Social Security, and a host of other things is a total waste.
But...it was our money, taken from us against our will and with the ostensible stamp of approval, spent at the Federal, State, and Local level.
And they wonder why we don’t want to add UN to that list.
