We all owe it to banks
who owe it to each other. And there isn't enough money in total to pay it off, so it never will be. I don't really understand it either.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just refuse to pay it back
Once the banks and financial institutions fail and what is left of the human race has recovered we can simply finance some new ones and print some new money.... oh wait that is possibly the cause of all this.

Exactly
Also, if we decide all of sudden to accept that it probably never would be paid off, then whole nations, banks, companies, institutions, etc. would effectively be bankrupt immediately. It is fucked up.
