an obligation to pay.

Try not paying that and watch what happens. No obligation? Are you kidding? You may not have voluntarily assumed it, but you got it anyway.

Any argument that doesn't address the actual issue is irrelevant. The issue of debt is not one of being real certain you are going to pay something, but of owing something.
You owe the gov't the money it says you do. If you have assets it can take to satisfy that obligation, it will.

It has no commitment. The fact that something periodic payments might be politically suicidal, or practically harmful to end, doesn't mean you have assumed an onligation to make those payments.
The gov't assumed them FOR YOU and intends to collect the money to pay them FROM you. If you have any of most forms of income, it will.

Yes and its one that shows you are wrong.
I suggest a remedial reading course.
