Who Owes The U.S. National Debt?

Subportantes invicem et donantes vobis ipsis, si quis adversus aliquem habet querellam; sicut et Dominus donavit vobis, ita et vos. (Colossians 3:13)

The U.S. National Debt is like a slave owner who has productivity thanks to whipped, chained, and beaten slaves, and then borrows against the future productivity of those slaves.

This interesting point of view is cast forward by Stefan Molyneux from Freedomain Radio.

Molyneux says that when the slave owner - the state - later goes bankrupt, and the creditors come to the slaves saying: "You are responsible for his debts", this is of course not their problem.

The slaves never signed any contract for the debts of their slave master.

If your slave master goes bankrupt you are of course not responsible for his debts.

In fact, the slaves want their slave owner to go bankrupt, so they can live better lives and get more freedom.

In the same way, Molyneux says, the Americans are not responsible for anything of the U.S. national debt, which is a pure fiction, with its 64 % of the U.S. GNP.

Since there is no personal contract for the U.S. national debt, it is never ever going to get paid.

But no one owes the U.S. national debt, and therefore it will keep growing...

"Et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimisimus debitoribus nostris",
Matthew 6:12.
