Debt stopped buying economic growth, if it ever did in the first place, way back in 1982, but no one has seemed to notice.
Prosperity based on debt is not prosperity.
Debt draws forward prosperity, and then when you get forward, there's no prosperity there because you already made off with it.
It's like the polar explorer who starved and froze to death because he ate the food caches on the way to the pole instead of saving them for on the way back.
