Debt which is piled up to finance programs paying people not to work, combined with penalties on business for being profitable, can destroy an economy. But debt that is incurred for capital projects of benefit to citizens and their productivity, or debt that is incurred to avoid inflicting destructive taxes on growing firms—such liabilities can become vital assets for growth and progress.
—George Gilder
