What is worth our government going in debt over?

I don't think our government should go in debt over anything, but can only for those things that are necessary for the economy.  I think its good to spend money wisely and to put that into action ( in order to not go deeper in debt since we already are in so much debt ) would be to spend America's money on the right things.  Its hard to decide what is the right thing to invest in and which things to cut investment in. I think that money should be spread evenly between everything that is on the "lower end", such as building roads, bridges, reconstructing school buildings and broken down buildings, and that for more demanding things, such as war or health care, should have more money invested in them. Its hard to say what is most important to put money into, but when it comes down to it, I think people's health and saving people is more important then repaving roads, like the road near our school that didn't even need repairing.  It would be different if the road was harmful for people to drive on and caused recurring accidents, then it would be worth the governments money. So I think that if the government is going to invest money in things, they should find whats at the "top of the list" and then work down from there. But as far as going into debt over war, education, health care, repaving roads etc, I don't think the government should ever go into more debt, unless it over all harms America if we don't, because then it would be even harder to out of debt because we would be deeper then we are now, which would end up badly affecting the lives of the people.

My dad, mom and grandparents have influenced my political views.  When I was younger hearing my parents discuss upcoming elections effected what I thought of the candidates running for office and who I thought I would vote for if I could.  The greatest effect on my political attitude would be my family's party affiliation, more then the community I live in or my background.  My family has a stronger influence on me then my community does because I am with them a lot and hear what they have to say about political issues.  Growing up with the beliefs my family have made it normal to see things the way they may see it because lots of times I only get to hear their point of view and haven't really searched it out.

Should all Americans receive free healthcare or is it too expensive?  If everyone got free healthcare it would be too expensive, it is something everyone should pay for.  It would bring America in more debt then it is now because the government would then have to print more money to pay for the healthcare. Somebody has to pay for health care, so that would mean that we would then have to pay more taxes.  So instead of healthcare actually being free, we would still have to pay for it, but indirectly through higher taxes instead of out of pocket.
