Every nation has a national Debt, what you should be concerned about is debt per capita in relation to unemployment rate and GDP.

Believe it or not Canada has a relatively small debt and a slightly smaller debt per capita but their GDP is far below ours; putting them in a worse situation to handle debt than us.

I am no fan of the deficit, but it's not the end of the world. It needs to be put under control ASAP.

Markets rise and fall, that's what they do. Look at the market trends over the last 50 years.
