Default OT: US National debt

There have been a lot of discussion on the media (also elsewhere than in USA) about US national debt. It is amazing when you realize, that that country takes about 1,7 billion dollars new debt every day. Look at the Debt clock and you see the amount of it. On the other hand, there is a calculation how much it is per citizen. It is actually not that much. Considering the difference of value between euro and dollar, Finland has relatively more debt than US (our debt per citizen is about 22000 euro) and our economy is considered to be in good shape. Opinions, anyone?
