The "comparison" is not a good one, nor are your numbers even close to accurate (unless + almost a trillion dollars is your idea of "accurate"). The "interest" isn't created and neither are the dollars for either the amount owed or the interest or the amount utilized. It's called the "money multiplier" and that's a 1st year economic student term. If that is too complicated to understand then the entire conversation regarding it is above your understanding. I'm sorry to be blunt, but these are simple financial and economic concepts that exist currently. We are not in a "barter" society which has no consideration for money being used to create money. Things are more complex and to try and simplify national/international economics to a barter system is so fundamentally flawed that it is laughable to anyone who has a rudimentary understanding of the actual concepts and their application. No offense..
