And I really hate the moralizing as if the national economy needs to be run like a household budget.

I think the moralizing is useful if it means future generations aren't going to pay the price for today's profligacy.

This extremely poor misunderstanding of macroeconomics is likely to lead to the outcome you're supposedly trying to avoid.

Creating debt is taking money from the future. There are some discrepancies between running a business and a national economy, but I think the results are still pretty unknown.

When anyone tells you that you should spend your money more, you should have a red flag.
