Default Re: National Debt reaches $8,000,000,000,000 (8 trillion dollars)

the world bank last year said the single greatest threat to economic security in the world was US's national debt. anyone want to explain what it is to me? i gather it is our exports minus our imports, but when we import something like if i just bought a kimono from japan online wouldn't i immeadiately have to pay for that product, just like all things we import? so how could a debt accumulate?
