Quite apart from anything else, government finances - as a matter of macro-economics - do not operate in the same way as business or household finances. Governments can and do routinely 'spend' in excess of their 'income' and by so doing stimulate the national economy.
The 'national debt' is not a debt which is required ever to be 'paid off'.
But this is a subject for an economics forum - not a legal one!
