How can every country in the world be in National debt?

Question

It seems to me that every country in the world is in national debt, how can this be, doesn't it have to even out so that there is no gross detbt or surplus? doesn't someone have to be owed all this money instead of being in debt?

ok , so who are these NGO's that every country in the world owes money to? could they just take over the world by using thier creditor powers?

or if its countires that owe eachother, how come the two detbs they owe eachother don't cancel eachother out?

if everyone owes everyone money it should all just break even?

Answer 1

The people who are owed all the money are the people who control the planet.
They are the Illuminati, or New World Order.
They own The Federal Reserve, and The Bank of England, print the money, and then lend it to governments, which have to pay interest on the loan.

Answer 2

Although it is very complicated to explain ,To put it in simple way is that every country has super rich and corrupt class and these classes usually control the politics of the land.Depending upon circumstances they beg borrow or steal at the expanse of general public.Example United States gives loan to say Philippines President Marcos and the boys steal 70% of the money and bring it out of Philippines.now the Public[Government] holds the responsibility to pay back the loan.It was the standard practice during cold war and even leaders of nations like India and Soviet union were involved in these practices.

Answer 3

Because the people at the top have stole the money for the generations to come and have put all americans in debt with there
theft of the treasury. Ask Donald Rumsfeld where the three trillion
dollars missing from the Department of Defense went to.
