First of all its problem, not promblem. Secondly, yes it is. America has the smallest coffers in the world.

Total US Debt: $14.1 Trillion Debt Held by US Public: $9.49 Trillion Debt held by Foreigners: $4.45 Trillion
Most likely the United States with our multi-trillion dollar national debt.
There is an increasing probability that is will mean the end of the country itself. At the end of the Carter Administration we hit a trillion dollar budget. Eight years later we managed to reach a trillion dollar debt. This year, we gave billionaires and private companies a trillion dollars for the first time.If we took 100% of all income made by America's fortune 100 companies, we could not pay the debt in 150 years. If the country took everyone's savings in every bank, we could not pay the debt this year.The family of four today owes $1.2 million dollars in terms of debt. In the year 2020, with no additional spending, we will be paying $667 billion in debt service. This is roughly the cost to twenty Iraq wars at the same time.If our country goes bankrupt, we still owe this money. Doing the math, this is a big problem. The biggest portion of this problem is that neither political party is even willing to look at the problem. We are even talking about adding another trillion to these already wild numbers. Doing this math, are we in trouble?
It depends on what country you are referring to. Here are the top 6 countries that have the most external debt in US dollars. There are other countries that have a higher debt to GDP ratio though. The U.S. currently has a national debt around 17.5 trillion dollars. The United Kingdom has a national debt of around 10.1 trillion dollars. Germany has a national debt of around 5.7 trillion dollars. France has a national debt of around 5.3 trillion dollars. Japan has a national debt of around 3 trillion dollars. China has a national debt around 3 trillion dollars.
Very in debt. The current debt is almost 15 trillion. If the current debt keeps rising the total debt is estimated to hit around 21 trillion.
As of February 2020, federal debt held by the public is 17.23 trillion and intragovernmental holdings were $6.02 trillion, for a total national debt of $23.25 trillion.
80 trillion
The estimated national debt in the United States in 1997 was 5.14 trillion dollars. As of October 2014, the national debt is 17.8 trillion dollars.
We hvae about $3,000,000,000,000 or $3 Trillion in debt =[
The debt ceiling was raised in 2002 to $6.4 trillion, in 2003 to $7.384 trillion, in 2004 to $8.184 trillion, in 2006 to $8.965 trillion and in 2007 to $9.815 trillion. Bush was President during these years, but you must know the President can not raise the debt ceiling- only Congress can do that.
Yes, the United States had a surplus under Clinton. No -- the answer above confuses the "debt" with "annual deficit." Yes, Clinton ran an annual budget surplus during certain years of his administration, but no, he did not attain "zero debt." That term refers to the accumulated debt of the U. S. since the 18th century, and Clinton added somewhere between $1.6 trillion and $2 trillion to the debt between 1992 and 2000. For comparative purposes, during the 12 years of the Reagan and first Bush administrations, about $3.2 trillion was added to the debt, and during the 8 years of the George W. Bush administration, about $4.4 trillion was added. -Tedwin223 Improved answer. Actually Bill Clinton gave us a Surplus, giving us SPENDING MONEY! When Bush came into office we plunged into debt and got a trillion dollar deficit.
