Ah, so interest doesn't count as spending because it's not being paid off?
The US economy is doing great because the government has reached the point
where it's only running up $175,000,000,000 in unpaid interest every year?
Wow, I must run out and celebrate; let's party in the streets!

Somehow I don't think I'd be doing too well if I was accumulating unpaid
interest every year equal to more than a tenth of my income.
