First, that is not the people's debt...(he assigns at least 2,000 to every person)...that is the amount of money the government OWES to the people.

First, that is the "people's debt." Where does government financing predominantly come from except from the populace?

Second, that is the amount of money government OWES individual investors in treasury instruments, unless it nullifies debt through inflation. Even that spreads the debt over the entire populace.

No, it's not the people's debt. It is the debt the government owes. It would be the people's debt if the government had a surplus and USED that surplus to invest in the private sector. That would be when the PEOPLE owe the GOVERNMENT, and last time I checked, thats socialism. :(
