Do you live in a country that creates its own currency?
Nope!
Do you?

And your Government also has 'debt'?
Yep!

Well I'm sorry to inform you, but you have been the victim of a very effective propaganda campaign. A country that creates its own currency will never have an inability to pay back its national debt.

Well, I'm sorry to inform you, but it's you, not me, who has been the victim of a very effective propaganda campaign.
Your country (i.e. your government) does not create its own currency, and neither does mine.

You see, it's the private banks that create the currency, and it's the governments that borrow this money from them. With compounding interest.

And you think this 'debt' is evil, that it must be paid back using tax revenues ?
Well..., yes and no.
The debt is evil indeed. Because for instance in the USA this debt shouldn't have existed in the first place, as according to the constitution it is congress only that has the right to print and issue money.
And so, as the national debt of the USA has been created illegally, there is no legal necessity to pay it back.
And the same goes for the interest.

How can a State(Country) that creates its own currency run out of Money?? It can't.

Exactly!
So, the first step the POTUS should take is to abolish the (private) FED and print the money himself, instead of borrowing it from that private bank.
(And then, just as Garfield, Jackson and Kennedy, get shot in the process, and this is exactly why the FED, and the national debt, are evil and should be abolished respectively cancelled by presidential directive.)
