   Indeed they do. One of the biggest concerns in the West right now is   
   that government spending has cut back too much, slowing the growth of   
   the US, giving the Eurozone another recession and leaving the UK dead in   
   the water. Deficits can be good or bad, depending on the rest of the   
   economy. The national debt is already a sunk cost and can be generally   
   ignored for short-term planning.
