Are you really worried about the national debt?

Because it seems to me, that much like the Universal Healthcare issue, the media seem to be doing their best to scare people into worrying about the fact that the US will be a trillion dollars more in debt.

What I want to know is, why haven’t they been worrying about the other $7 trillion dollars worth of debt that has been amassed during the Bush administration?

The media seem keen to bitch and moan about the money that will have to be spent on getting the US economy going again, but nobody seems to be talking about alternatives.

How do you guys feel about the increase in spending? What would the alternatives be?
