And then countries that provide anything at all (not just welfare) that is wanted by someone will be invaded by immigrants from other countries. If you logic stands then the US cannot provide welfare unless all the other countries do too.

The differences between the states is exactly what we need. Then when one state provides welfare and another state provides jobs and another state provides freedoms and another provides whatever is desirable what we have is a great experiment to determine what works and what does not.

Debt always reduces future spending power and whatever part of it is owed to other countries is income they earn at our expense.

If I did that then I would owe the credit card companies more than I take in because my interest earned is taxed and credit cards charge various fees on top of the interest. I also have to spend time managing the credit cards and the account.

The analogy also fails because the US government does not have any such account that collect interest anywhere near large enough to balance the debt.

Cutting the deficit is just great because it is good for us.
