There was once a time when a US senator described raising his country's public debt as a sign of 'leadership weakness' and that was a time when the US public debt was still minimal at around 6 trillion US dollars mostly spent on wars in the 'Middle East' to protect Israel!
That US senator was no other than Senator Barack H. Obama during the debates on raising public debt in March 2008, exactly 5 years after invading and looting Iraq by US President George W. Bush and then this happened:
#Shutdown: "The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2008
Should I remind you that the US public debt is reaching 30 trillion dollars those are (30,000,000,000,000) for a population of 330 million, which means each US citizen, including newborns, owes 'somebody/ies' about 90 thousand US dollars, and it was not spent on their welfare, healthcare, or infrastructure, it was spent on illegal settlements in occupied Palestine by the Israelis, to strengthen their defenses, to destroy the countries surrounding 'Israel' and to make few people richer.
