Truth is, both have it. Illegal immigrants cost a lot of money, the jobless (those who are too lazy to work, not the unfortunate ones) getting a lot of welfare and health care costs a lot of money, and the super rich not paying taxes and earning ridiculous and unethical amount of money also costs a lot of money. The most suffering people are people working hard every day, being able to afford less and less. But those are the people running the countries. They should be the ones having a sufficient amount of wealth. Now keep downvoting me for not endlessly repeating your far left propaganda in this echo chamber.
Please, do enlighten us on how the homeless and jobless cost a lot of money and then show us how much this impacts the national debt? You can then show us how much spending on those elements compares to other spending such as oh I don't know military budgets. While you're at it, why don't you contextualize that in the case of currency sovereignty, and through modern monetary theory? You don't have a clue what you're talking about. You think national debt works like debt works for you and I but it doesn't. If you don't believe me how about listening to the the words of Dick Cheney - "Reagan proved deficits don't matter". It's why the republicans present themselves as the 'party of fiscal responsibility' all the while running up record levels of national debt every time they are in power.
Ok this is suddenly very us-centric again, thinking that the USA is the world
This applies to all countries that control their own currency/do not have their debt tied up in foreign currency
