I hate to say it, and Im sure this will get buried, but Rep Stark is right. Rather than explain macroeconomics, I will point out that AS SOON as we became a country, John Adams and Ben Franklin's first and foremost job was to.....create a national debt. They went all over the world borrowing money from any and every country that would lend it. Debt IS different for countries than it is for people. However, we need to be wise in how we use the money that we bought with that debt. Go ahead, bury away.
