When you borrow money and spend it, you are using credit. But the person that you pay receives money, not credit. (They don't have to pay interest on it; you do.) And after you spend it, you don't have that money anymore; you owe it. You have the debt.
"The commonwealth was not yet lost in Tiberius's days, but it was already doomed and Rome knew it. The fundamental trouble could not be cured. In Italy, labor could not support life..." - Vladimir Simkhovitch, "Rome's Fall Reconsidered"
