Because if you have a debt, and you add more debt, then you can't suddenly have less debt. If you owe me $5, then you borrow another $5, then you owe me $10. There is no way that borrowing more money from me will make it so that you owe me less money. It's the exact same way with any mathematical problem.

Does high credit means you owe money?
I'm assuming you mean a high credit score, which is determined by 35% debt payment history, 30% debt levels, 15% length of debt, 10% new debt, and 10% type of debt. So, a high credit score can mean that you do owe money and have a good history of paying it on time, but it can still be high even if you recently eliminated all your debt.

Because the US spends far more each year than it takes in. That is called the deficit. Every year that we have a deficit, we need to borrow money to make up the difference. That is called the debt.
