>Your analogy is only true on average.
It is not an analogy it is math and how we commonly reference and understand federal debt. If you look at the US nation debt clock (https://www.usdebtclock.org/ https://www.usdebtclock.org/) you will notice next to the total national debt is debt per citizen and then debt per taxpayer.
Congress passed a $6T bill, that money is created as a future debt to all citizens, your point is obvious not all citizens are taxpayers, and not all taxpayers will have the same tax burdens (yet as you will notice we still look at tax revenue on a per capita basis also). There is a reason we don't look at the existing nation debt in those terms rather on a per capita basis. Either way none of that has anything to do with how Congress elected to indebt the Country and distribute the funds.
