๐ฆ Public Debt: Helpful or Harmful
Public debt is the total amount a government owes - often from borrowing to cover budget deficits. It's not always a bad thing. Many developed countries carry debt, and when used wisely (like for infrastructure, education, or healthcare), it can boost economic growth.
However, if debt grows too fast or is spent poorly, it becomes a burden. High debt means higher interest payments, which could limit funds for essential services. Investors may also lose confidence, demanding higher returns or avoiding the country altogether.
Debt sustainability is key. A good economy can manage debt and keep it under control through smart policies. But mismanagement can lead to crises - just look at what happened in Greece!
So while borrowing isn’t evil, it’s like using a credit card: fine if you repay it, dangerous if you don’t. Balance is everything. ๐ณ๐
