The Liberals' inaugural budget contains a $29.4-billion deficit for 2016 which is 10.2% of government spending. Proponents of spending argue that it is a great time for the government is going to borrow money, since interest rates are at 50 year lows. Opponents argue that the spending could get out of control and the debt could easily reach $100 billion a year by 2020.

No. There should high taxes on the rich and large corporations and reduce government officials salaries. Also focus on ending tax evasion.
@8JHT3774yrs4Y
National debt will never go away and will never go down. We can't cut spending, we need to asses how to allocate it. Again this isn't a simple yes or no, it needs a deep analysis to understand where the money goes and how we redirect it.
Focus on increasing taxes for large corporations, the rich, government officials and ending tax evasion.
