Well since you borrow money and that money is loaned out with interest, then more money has to be produced to pay for the money that has been loaned in the first place, again with more interest so you end up with even more debt.

Why were you trying to bring into the discussions countries that don't have debt then? (what countries are these debt free ones by the way?)

Has Australia only been in debt the last 6 years? No, I didn't think so.
