TBH not all that many people who scream about the debt are fiscal conservatives. All they know is that it's a buzzword to hit Obama with which sounds like a criticism of "liberal policies" to those who don't understand anything about economics.
The thing is most people think of national debt as credit card debt. So it makes sense that people who are fiscally responsible in their personal lives would look at our national debt and think "WTF?!?!"
They see all the memes with "You make $30K a year and $1,000,000 in credit card debt."
