This take is over the target, IMHO.
Our debt is, in reality, a massive crime perpetrated against us.
If you believe this to be true, would you expect the victims of a crime to be left with the tab that criminals ran up on them after the fact?
I don't.
Why would we be saddled with a ginormous/eye-popping debt (complete w/runaway interest on said debt), and to the point that it's all but impossible to pay off when it wasn't our fault in the first place?
That makes zero sense to me.
