I don't argue with that but the post to which you responded included: "Eventually we would have practically no debt." The latter statement is patently false and that is what I take exception to. Yes the rate of addition of debt becomes almost negligible relative to the size of the economy  and debt servicing remains affordable in an economy that is growing at a healthy rate, even while deficits are being run. I get that and that's essentially what Trudeau and his campaign were saying before the 2015 election and helped him win it. People in the country knew that continuing cuts were not helping anything and were open to deficit spending if ti helped to perk up the economy.
