I once heard an economics professor say that the U.S. debt is at the very heart of our national security program... but, honestly, I forget his specific points....

Maybe it was if we owe everyone money, they're less likely to attack us.

Sounds a bit ass backwards to me.

we owe money in a form if tbonds
trillions dollars worth of tbonds
thus countries holding your tbonds will not let these bonds go worthless

US $ is based on debt. Debt needs to be increased to increase the amount dollars in circulation (decreasing the value of those currently out there). Easiest thing to go into debt for is war. Military industrial gets to use the newly created dollars first, before the inflation resulting in the practice kicks in. Yehaa

Look on the bright side.. I'm worth a hell of a lot more than the United States as a whole is!!! :)
