By paying for these programs with deficit spending we are really passing the cost of them on to to the very children being cared for. Some may think that is fair but it is also reality. Because we have no intention of paying off debt, future generations will have the added cost of paying for every generation preceding them.
Nobody is going to pay much of anything off. We'll just be paying the interest and so will they. As long as paying the interest is cheaper than actually paying off the debt there's little incentive to pay off the debt.
