japan debt wikipedia

Japan has tons of debt, but it still occurs?

Now, I had a convo with my father about debts to Japan. According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_public_debt Japan is buried in debt, and increasingly the United States. If you have so much debt, why spending so much to give $ $ $ to help the United States and 3rd in the world? Can we really do without some serious damage to himself?

As our country.
