Right, lack of productive forces and the fact that the resources that are present are being misused are the actual problems. The thing is that there's no clear path from the way US economy operates currently to a more sensible economy. As long as the financial oligarchs are in charge they will insist doing what they're currently doing. So, while the problems caused by debt are artificial, they are also inherent in the way the current system is structured. Addressing these problems requires restructuring the system.
