Name me ONE year in which defense expenditures have been $0.00.

That's irrelevant.

Since I was a little kid, I don't have one year where my spending on food is zero. But my future spending on food isn't a debt.

"Very unlikely, also very irrelevant."
ANY argument that advances my case is irrelevant, it seems


Well I can't help it if you insist on defending a point that can't be defended, where no relevant arguments aren't completely and obviously full of holes so you have to resort to irrelevant ones.

Seriously I can't see why you even try. Debt is a fairly simple concept, and what you talking about simply isn't debt.


"Nothing. Its not paying off anything. Its current spending, like when you go to a restaurant or grocery store and pay cash."

Exactly. It costs you a certain amount just to stay alive. At te end of your life, we could subtract your net worth from your earnings and the remainder is the debt you made payments on.


Only if your speaking some language other than English, where the word debt has a different definition.
