Debt is always a secondary source for defining a surplus. The primary source is always income minus outlays. Surpluses of income less outlays may then be used for debt, but don't have to be.

This is the sticking point in the debate between you, i-node, and I. You seem to think surpluses defined by debt fluctuations is an equally valid way to calculate surpluses as income minus outlays. That's just plain silly.
