I agree, buying a T-bill isn't going to remove the debt. It's still a liability for the government. The government still has to pay it back.

Who claimed otherwise? Anywhere?

OH...by “trading it away”...I meant cancelling the debt by weighing it against the debt owed by a different country that owns US debt.

That won’t work.
