Internal debt is not a real debt

  As stated in a previous article, a internal debt is not a real debt. And taxpayers do not pay for the internal debt. Otherwise the internal debt would actually decrease and eventually be paid off. When in reality, no one ever bothers to collect enough in tax revenue to actually pay off the internal debt. In contrast, spending normally exceeds tax revenue every year helping to further add to the internal debt. Quite often, the internal debt is a non issue.
