In this day and age, money does not carry with it an obligation
that the government needs to pay you anything.
When I look on my money (US dollars) it says "This note is legal
tender for all debts, public and private." This means that you
can pay debts with it. It doesn't mean that it is a debt.
Contrast this with a Treasury bill, where it is an agreement to
pay the holder a certain amount of money on a specific date.
That's debt.
