"I only robbed you of 25% of your income, what are you complaining about?"
What people mean when they say "run out" is that it won't be able to keep up with its obligations. That is objectively bad. People will get reduced payments. There will be pain.
You are just changing the definition of words so that your new meaning lines up. Which I guess is one way to approach the argument. But not necessarily a helpful one.
